Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association

George Mason's Alexander Lillie is the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week for Feb. 3, 2025. Alexander had the net covered in a pair of Patriot matches, a 3-0 sweep of St. Thomas Aquinas on Jan. 31 and a 3-1 loss to No. 16 CSUN on Feb. 2. The freshman middle hitter delivered five kills on an error-free seven swings to hit .714, adding five blocks in the first match. Two days later he had six kills with two assists, an ace, a dig and four blocks, one solo. He totaled 11 kills on .300 hitting with two assists, an ace, nine blocks and a dig for the No. 20 Patriots. Lillie ranks sixth in the EIVA at 0.81 blocks per set. His .500 hitting for the season would be second in the EIVA and fourth nationally if he had six more swings to reach the NCAA criteria of 3.3 attempts per set. This is the first career conference honor for the freshman.
