SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University senior free safety Ben Gibboney 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.

Gibboney (Huntingdon, PA/Huntingdon Area) finished with a team-high 10 tackles (six solo), intercepted a pass deep in Susquehanna territory, returned a blocked extra point the length of the field for two points, and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the Crusaders' 22-10 loss at Moravian last Saturday.

Gibboney's interception was the 11 th of his career while his 10 tackles increased his season total to 13 and his career mark to 193. The blocked extra point return was the first for a Crusader player since Gabe Schwartz did it against Albright on Nov. 7, 1998.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Gibboney 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 $7,400 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 (1-1 overall, 0-1 MAC) host Albright on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in the school's annual Homecoming game.
