Donora’s Suski to be enshrined in St. Vincent HOF

By Mon Valley Independent

For the MV Independent

Saint Vincent College will induct eight individuals and one team into its Athletic Hall of Fame at a 6 p.m. reception and dinner on Sept. 28 in the Fred M. Rogers Center and a Valley native will be among the inductees.

David J. Suski graduated from St. Vincent in 2006 with a bachelor of arts degree in communication.

A native of Donora, he started every game over his four-year career with the Bearcat men’s soccer team and remains the program’s all-time leader in career goals (56) and points (137). Named both NAIA All-America and NSCAA/Adidas All-Region following his 2005 senior season, Suski was a four-time All-American Mideast Conference (AMC) honoree.

Suski scored at least 10 goals and 27 points in all four of his seasons in the green and gold and was the team’s leading scorer in each of his final three years. He netted 16 goals in a season, in 2003 and 2005, which remains the third-most in a single season by a Bearcats player. The total also ranked first in the AMC in 2005, a season in which the Bearcats won 12 games – second most in a season in team history – and advanced to the NAIA Region IX semifinals.
