SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Susquehanna University junior halfback Anthony Edwards 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.

Edwards (Warrington, PA/Central Bucks West) carried a career-high 25 times for 94 yards and the Crusaders' lone touchdown in a 21-7 loss to Albright on Sept. 17 in the team's most recent action.

Edwards is fifth in the Middle Atlantic Conference in rushing with 267 yards on 53 carries (89.0 yards per game), and needs 67 yards to reach 1,000 for his career.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Edwards to the charity of his choice during Friday's Quarterback Club luncheon at noon, which has been moved to the Apple Community Room in the Garrett Sports Complex.

Now in their ninth year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $7,500 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 (1-2 overall, 0-2 MAC) travel to King's on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.
