NJIT's Wiktor Nowak is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for March 23, 2026. Wiktor delivered a stunning performance to help NJIT rally to a reverse-sweep victory at Princeton on March 21. The sophomore opposite pounded down 28 kills while hitting .571, adding an ace, two blocks and three digs in the 3-2 win. Nowak registered his kill total while making four errors on 42 swings. The rest of the Highlander offense combined for 23 kills on 59 swings, hitting .186, with none delivering more than six kills. He had seven kills in each of the third and fourth sets as NJIT rallied from down 2-0, then had three kills and an ace in the 15-7 final set win. The kill total was one short of his career high, which he delivered Feb. 6 – also against the Tigers. In the season’s two matches against Princeton Nowak totals 57 kills on .439 hitting with two aces, eight blocks and seven digs. Nowak is second in the EIVA in kills (3.85) and points (4.40) per set. Entering the weekend Nowak ranked 14th nationally in kills per set, 16th in points per set and 13th in attacks per set. This is the second EIVA weekly honor of Nowak’s season and career.
