SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University sophomore defensive back Jeff Hauser has been selected as the team's Gus Weber Crusader Player of the Week, sponsored by the Golden Corral Family Steak House along Routes 11 & 15 in Shamokin Dam.

Hauser (Exton, PA/Downingtown East) made three tackles and intercepted a pass late in the third quarter to set up the Crusaders' second touchdown in a 24-16 victory over Ursinus in the season opener on Saturday night at Lopardo Stadium.

Making his first career start at cornerback, Hauser helped lead a Crusader secondary that limited the Bears to 192 yards through the air on 13-of-29 passing.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Hauser to the charity of his choice during Friday's Quarterback Club luncheon at noon in the Shearer-Weber Dining Room in the Degenstein Campus Center.

Now in their ninth year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $7,300 to charity in the names of Susquehanna players.

The Player of the Week award is named after former Susquehanna University president Gustave Weber , who served as president of Susquehanna for more than 18 years and was a former standout player at Wagner College . He was an avid booster of Crusader athletics, and in particular the football team, which he coached for the final two games of the 1965 season.

The Crusaders (1-0 overall, 0-0 MAC) travel to Moravian on Saturday for their Middle Atlantic Conference opener beginning at 1:00 p.m.
