SELINSGROVE, PA – Susquehanna University freshman free safety Ben Gibboney has been named to the D3football.com Team of the Week following his performance in last Saturday’s 45-17 win over Juniata last Saturday.

Gibboney (Huntingdon, PA/Huntingdon Area H.S.), in his third career start and second as the regular free safety, was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week after he made a career-high 11 tackles and picked off two passes as Susquehanna held the Eagles to 85 yards below their season average.

Gibboney, whose father Tom was the Eagles’ head coach from 1995-97, recorded 10 solo stops and helped the Crusaders limit Juniata to just 18 completions in 48 attempts for 184 yards. For the season, Gibboney ranks fifth among Susquehanna defenders with 30 tackles.

The Crusaders (4-3 overall, 4-2 MAC) will travel to King’s (5-2 overall, 5-1 MAC) on Saturday for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
