NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. – Penn State Altoona junior Peter Nusbaum (Pittsboro, NC/Thales Academy) was recognized as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's Men's Golfer of the Week on Monday, when the league office announced its weekly awards.

Nusbaum was the Lions' top finisher at last weekend's two-day Northeast Elite tournament at Williamsport Country Club, where Penn State Altoona came in sixth place out of 20 teams.

Nusbaum shot 1-over par in round one on Saturday, carding a 72. The junior followed that with an even-par 71 on Sunday, totaling 143 across two days to finish in a tie for 11th place out of 104 individuals in the tournament.

In eight rounds this season, Nusbaum is second on the Lions in scoring average, shooting 73.63 per round. This is his first AMCC Golfer of the Week award this season, and it is the fourth of his collegiate career.

Penn State Altoona men's golf returns to action this Thursday, October 3, competing in the Grove City Invitational.
