For the first time in program history, Charleston has swept the EIVA's weekly awards as Ras Jesse Delancy has been named Offensive Player of the Week and Karl Lennert Klehm is the Defensive Player of the Week for Feb. 26, 2024.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Ras Jesse Delancy, Jr., OH, Charleston
Ras put up some huge numbers on the weekend in a two-match split against George Mason. The junior outside hitter knocked in 10 kills on .381 hitting with an assist, two digs and two blocks as the Golden Eagles won 3-1 on Feb. 23. The following day he blasted in 27 kills while hitting .524, adding four digs and two blocks, one a solo denial. His kill total is the second highest posted in the EIVA this season. For the weekend Delancy posted 37 kills on .476 hitting with an assist, six digs and four blocks. Delancy ranks second in the EIVA and fifth in the nation with his .424 hitting, and his 3.31 kills per set is fifth in the EIVA. This is Delancy’s first EIVA weekly award of his career.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Karl Lennert Klehm, Fr., MB, Charleston
Karl led the way in building the Golden Eagles’ huge defensive wall against George Mason over the weekend. During a 3-1 win on Feb. 23, the freshman middle blocker had six kills while hitting .500, adding three aces, four digs and six blocks, two of them solos. In a 3-2 loss on Feb. 24, he did not have any kills but delivered two aces and 10 blocks, with three solo stuffs. The block total matches the season high in the EIVA this season. Over two matches he had six kills, five aces, four digs and 16 blocks, five solo. He is averaging 1.23 blocks per set this season, though he has only played 22 sets and started only three matches. Despite not seeing much on-court action until recently, his 27 blocks already ranks third for Charleston. This is the first EIVA weekly honor of Klehm’s career.
