Bio

Swan donned the Gophers' colors from 2005-08 and left as the women's basketball all-time career leader in 3-pointers made (116), 3-point field goal percentage (35.5), and free throw percentage (80.6). She is now second in 3-pointers made, second in points (1,636), third in scoring average (17.5 ppg.), third in field goals made (602), fourth in free throws made (316), and sixth in steals (201) in program history. She was the conference-leading scoring in each of her final three seasons (2005-07 Capital Athletic Conference, 2007-08 Landmark Conference), and she became the third women's basketball player in program history to earn three all-conference selections in her career (2006 All-CAC first team, 2007 All-CAC second team, 2008 All-Landmark first team). Along with leading the conference, Swan ranked 11th in NCAA Division III in scoring in 2005-06 and 15th in 2006-07. The Baltimore, Md., native, became the eighth player in program history to score 1,000 points against Gallaudet on February 6, 2007. Swan was the leading scorer for the Gophers 66 times, while she posted 46 20-game performances and four 30-point games in her career. In a 16-game span in her senior year, Swan recorded 20 points 15 times, and in the game that missed the feat, she scored 19 points. She averaged 24.0 points per game in that stretch, including scoring a career-best 34 points against Christopher Newport on December 1, 2007.

"It is an honor to be inducted into the Goucher Athletics Hall of Fame," said Swan. "My time at Goucher was integral in my development as a woman and coach. As a student-athlete at Goucher, there was always an emphasis placed on being a student first, leading by example, and establishing positive relationships with teammates, which are all principles that were crucial in my coaching journey and developing my coaching philosophy. As a player, my goal was to be a leader on and off the court by helping my teammates grow in any capacity and giving my all each day. Having my hard work recognized at this magnitude is one of the best feelings in the world. I am thankful for my family, coaches, and teammates because, without them, I would not have reached this milestone."
