George Mason's Georgi Zahariev is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for April 13, 2026. Georgi guided the Patriot offense to a pair of wins over Princeton, improving their win streak to 10 straight, and kept them in the hunt for the EIVA regular-season title. The senior setter gave out 37 assists as George Mason hit .352 with only 12 errors in a 3-1 win April 10. He also had six kills on an error-free eight swings to hit .750, two aces, seven digs and one block. The following day he posted a career-high 59 assists while GMU hit .244 in a 3-2 victory, adding three kills, two aces, four digs and two blocks. Over nine sets he totaled 96 assists, nine kills on .467 hitting, four aces, 11 digs and three blocks as the Patriots hit .289. The 59 assists in the second outing are an EIVA single-match best in 2026, marking the third time he has topped 50 this season, and he surpassed 2,000 career assists during Match 1. Zahariev leads the EIVA with 10.03 assists per set, ranking 11th nationally entering the weekend, and the Patriots lead the EIVA hitting .279. This is Zahariev’s third career EIVA weekly honor and second of the season.
