Penn State's Matthew Luoma is the EIVA Offensive Player of the Week for Feb. 17, 2025. Matthew delivered a memorable performance in Penn State’s home opener, and during a two-match series of 3-0 wins, against Saint Francis. The redshirt-sophomore opposite, who had one career kill before this season, totaled 27 kills while hitting .458 with four aces, three digs and seven blocks. He collected nine kills on .261 hitting with a pair of aces and three blocks in a 3-0 sweep of the Red Flash on Feb. 14. The next day, after the Nittany Lions raised the banner for their 2024 EIVA title, Luoma put down a career-high 18 kills on .640 hitting with two more aces, three digs and a career-high four blocks, one a solo stuff. Luoma also delivered at clutch moments, with a kill on set point of each of the three sets in the Feb. 15 match, as well as kills on the final three points of the match for his third double-digit-kill performance of the season. This is the first EIVA weekly honor of Luoma’s career.
