George Mason's Robert Evangelista has been named the EIVA's Offensive Player of the Week for March 3, 2025. Robert put up a solid effort both offensively and defensively in the Patriots’ split weekend of matches at the NEC-EIVA Challenge at Saint Francis. The sophomore outside hitter racked up 26 kills on .281 hitting with a pair of aces, nine digs and four blocks. Evangelista notched nine kills on .286 hitting with a pair of digs in a 3-0 loss to the host Red Flash on Feb. 28. The next day he matched his career high with 17 kills while hitting .278 with seven digs, also a career best. He additionally had an ace and two blocks in each contest. Evangelista ranks sixth in the EIVA in kills per set (3.18), seventh in points per set (3.68) and 10th in hitting (.246). This is the first EIVA weekly honor of the season and career for Evangelista.
