Penn State's Owen Rose is the EIVA's Defensive Player of the Week for March 6, 2023. Owen was nearly flawless to help No. 3 Penn State to a pair of road wins on the west coast. The sophomore middle blocker had five kills on .417 hitting with seven blocks in a 3-0 sweep of Concordia Irvine on March 4. The next night he had nine kills on .529 hitting with five blocks in a marathon 3-2 win at No. 6 UC-Irvine. Over the two matches he had 14 kills without an error to hit .483 with a dozen blocks, two digs, an assist and an ace as Penn State improved to 6-1 against ranked opponents. His 1.214 blocks per set leads the EIVA and ranks fifth in the nation. This is the second weekly EIVA award of the season and career for Rose.
