Penn State's Will Kuhns has been named the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week for March 3, 2025. Will recorded an all-around match for the No. 19 Nittany Lions in a 3-1 win against Merrimack on Feb. 28, Penn State’s lone match of the week. The graduate student outside hitter posted his first career double-double with 15 kills on .357 hitting with an ace, four assists and 11 digs, the latter two both career highs. He also was 14 for 15 in his service receptions. His defensive play helped Penn State hold the Warriors to .163 hitting. Kuhns has 48 kills over his last three matches and has hit double figures in kills in nine of his 13 matches this year. He ranks third in the EIVA in points per set (3.83), fourth in kills per set (3.36) and fifth in hitting (.298). This is the second EIVA weekly honor of the season and career for Kuhns.
