NJIT's Alessandro Negri is the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week for Jan. 15, 2024. Alessandro had a pair of strong all-around performances in the Highlanders’ first two wins of the season. In a 3-0 sweep of King (Tenn.) on Jan. 12, he knocked down nine kills while collecting four blocks and a pair of digs. The next night in a 3-2 win against Purdue Fort Wayne, he pounded in a career-high-tying 26 kills on .469 hitting with 10 digs and three blocks. For the week he had 35 kills on .422 hitting with a dozen digs and seven blocks. Negri’s 3.65 kills per set and 4.03 points per set both rank fourth in the EIVA. This is the first weekly honor of the season and career for the junior outside hitter.
