SELINSGROVE, PA – Susquehanna University senior linebacker Bill Heinzelmann is this week’s recipient of 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.

Heinzelmann (Allentown, PA/Parkland H.S.) made a career-high 13 tackles, including eight solo stops, as the Crusaders fell to King’s 22-21 on Saturday afternoon. He ranks third on the team with 45 total tackles in eight games, including 27 solo stops and three tackles for loss.

The Golden Corral will donate a check for $100 in the name of Heinzelmann to the charity of his choice. Now in their sixth year of sponsorship of the Gus Weber Player of the Week award, Golden Corral has donated $5,400 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.

Heinzelmann will be the guest speaker at Friday’s Quarterback Club luncheon, which begins at noon in the Shearer-Weber Dining Room in the Degenstein Campus Center. He will also be the guest on the Coach’s Corner Show, which can be heard each Saturday beginning 30 minutes before kickoff.

The Crusaders (4-4 overall, 4-3 MAC) will host Moravian (6-2 overall, 6-2 MAC) on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the final home game of the season at Lopardo Stadium.
