Harvard's James Bardin is the Defensive Player of the Week for Feb. 12, 2024. James ran a sound offense for the Crimson in a pair of wins but also delivered some solid defense. The junior setter totaled 10 kills on .471 hitting with 64 assists, an ace, eight blocks and a dozen digs. In a 3-0 sweep of Merrimack, he had six kills while hitting .500 to go with 25 assists, six digs and a pair of blocks. In a 3-2 victory against Lincoln Memorial, he had four kills on error-free .444 hitting with 39 assists, an ace, six digs and six blocks, including a solo denial. For the weekend the Crimson hit .286 under Bardin’s direction. His six blocks were an EIVA weekend high, a personal best on the season and Bardin’s most in a match since he posted 11 against George Mason in 2022. This is the first EIVA weekly honor of Bardin’s career.
