Princeton's Ben Harrington is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for Jan. 15, 2024. Ben delivered an NCAA-record-setting performance during the No. T-15 Tigers’ three-match week, all on the road. The senior pin-hitter fired in 13 service aces, while making only two errors, and added eight kills, a block and a dig during a 3-0 sweep at Queens on Jan. 8. Harrington broke the NCAA men’s record of aces in a match, formerly 11 by four different players, as well as his own Tigers’ program record of seven. The next night against the Royals, he had 18 kills on .531 hitting with one ace, seven digs and four blocks. He notched seven kills, three aces and two blocks during a 3-1 loss at No. 3 UC Irvine on Jan. 13. For the week he totaled 33 kills on .278 hitting with 17 aces, eight digs and seven blocks. He leads the nation in total aces (17) and aces per set (1.545). This is the first EIVA weekly award of the season for Harrington and the fifth of his career.
