Penn State's Michal Kowal is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for Feb. 12, 2024. Michal earns his second consecutive EIVA weekly honor after carrying a heavy load in the No. 9 Nittany Lions’ 3-1 win against Fairleigh Dickinson on Feb. 10. The senior outside hitter knocked in 24 kills with one error to hit .697. He had at least six kills in three of the four sets and his total was one short of his career high set in his previous match. He also posted eight digs, two blocks and was 19 for 19 in service receptions as Penn State played the match missing three starters. Kowal has hit double digits in kills six times this season, including each of his last five matches. In his last two outings, he has 49 kills on .513 hitting with three aces, three blocks and 15 digs. This is Kowal’s second EIVA weekly award of the season and third of his career.
