KUTZTOWN, Pa. – The 23rd-ranked Kutztown University football team continued its succession of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) weekly awards as redshirt-junior quarterback Collin DiGalbo earned East Athlete of the Week honors Monday afternoon as voted on by the conference office.

DiGalbo helped guide the Golden Bears (5-0 overall, 2-0 PSAC East Division) to a 35-33 win on Saturday, Oct. 6 at East Stroudsburg University. He threw for season-highs with four touchdowns and 344 yards, going 26-for-39.

In total, the Kutztown offense rolled up 547 total yards, rushing and passing for over 200 yards for the third time this season. 10 different Golden Bears caught passes in the game, making it three straight games that KU has had double-digit pass-catchers.

It is the second time this season that DiGalbo received the accolade and the fifth week that a KU player has been tabbed Athlete of the Week.
