Harvard's Owen Woolbert continues to be tough to beat above the net as he repeats as the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week after a 1-1 weekend for the Crimson. The junior middle blocker had 10 kills on .643 hitting with one ace, one dig and eight blocks, one solo, in a 3-0 sweep of American International on March 6. The following day he had four kills, two digs and four blocks, one solo, during a 3-1 loss to St. Thomas Aquinas. For the week he had 14 kills on .370 hitting with one ace, three digs and a dozen blocks, two solo. Woolbert ranks fourth in the EIVA hitting .284 and is sixth at 0.91 blocks per set. This is the third EIVA weekly honor of Woolbert’s career and he is the fifth player since 2021 to win the same award back-to-back weeks.
