CARMEL – Seniors Andrew Kibler and Jalen Masden earned Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday October 4.

Kibler (Cape Coral, Fla.) was tabbed as the HCAC Special Teams Player of the Week on Monday. The senior drove home a career-long 49-yard field goal in overtime to send Manchester University to a thrilling 27-24 upset win over Franklin College on Saturday October 2. Kibler also added a 31-yard FG in the win, while also placing three punts inside the 20-yard line. He punted 9 times for 356, averaging 39.6 yards per punt. Kibler’s longest punt of the afternoon went for 46 yards.

Jalen Masden (Evansville) was named the HCAC Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. Masden spearheaded Manchester’s defensive efforts against Franklin College, leading the Black & Gold with 14 total tackles – 11 of which were solo. The Spartans limited the Grizzlies to just 72 yards rushing and 298 yards of total offense in their 27-24 overtime victory. Manchester’s defense racked up 8.0 tackles-for-loss for 66 yards while forcing 4 turnovers.
