NJIT's Martin de Chavarria is the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week for March 27, 2023. Martin returned from a long injury break in a big way to help the Highlanders to a conference victory. The senior middle blocker was nearly perfect with 11 kills and one error on 12 swings to hit .833, adding three blocks, as NJIT swept George Mason 3-0 on March 21. His presence helped NJIT win the block 9-1 against the Patriots. The Highlanders had been without de Chavarria for more than a month and struggled during the stretch by losing eight of their last 10 matches. The senior injured his ankle Feb. 17 at Long Beach State and missed the next eight matches. His 1.00 blocks-per-set average ranks fourth in the EIVA. De Chavarria captures his second weekly EIVA award for this season and fourth of his career.
