Princeton, N.J. – Junior, Ben Harrington, of Princeton Men's Volleyball, has been named the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA) Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, February 13th following a pair of matches against CSUN and Saint Francis Brooklyn.
Harrington continues to be a force within the Tigers' offense, and finished the weekend with a pair of solid performances against two, strong, non-conference opponents.
Ben delivered some big numbers both at the net and at the service line for the Tigers in a split week. The junior outside hitter put down 19 kills on .282 hitting with five aces, three digs and three blocks in a 3-2 loss to Cal State-Northridge.
He added eight kills while hitting .375 with seven aces and two digs in a 3-0 sweep of St. Francis-Brooklyn on Feb. 11. The seven-ace performance was a career high and a single-match high among all EIVA student athletes this season.
For the week he totaled 27 kills while hitting .309 with a dozen aces, five digs and three blocks. Harrington leads the EIVA in both kills per set (3.85) and aces per set (0.85) and ranks third nationally in the latter category. He earns the second weekly EIVA honor both for the season.
Princeton will return to action against Penn State to open up EIVA play on Friday February 17th at 7 p.m. in University Park, Pennsylvania.
