NJIT's Alessandro Negri is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for Jan. 27, 2025. Alessandro was tough to stop in a pair of non-conference Highlander victories. The senior outside hitter racked up 23 kills on .475 hitting with four assists, two service aces, two blocks and nine digs. Negri delivered 11 kills on .333 hitting with a pair of assists, a pair of blocks and six digs during a 3-0 sweep of Queens (N.C.) on Jan. 24. The next night in a 3-0 win against Saint Francis, he knocked in a dozen kills on an error-free 19 swings to hit .632, adding two assists, a pair of aces and three digs. Negri ranks in the EIVA top 10 in hitting (7th, .330), kills per set (10th, 3.07) and digs per set (2nd, 2.13). This is the first EIVA weekly award for Negri and the second of his career.
