UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State redshirt junior Jason Donorovich was named the EIVA Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts during the Nittany Lions' three wins last week Jan. 21-26.
The 6-9 middle blocker was a force at the net all week long, compiling 15 blocks over three games, including five solo blocks. He has also had eight digs.
Donorovich's finest defensive game of the week came last Saturday, Jan. 26, versus Lindenwood. He had nine total blocks (two solo, seven assists), a single-game total that was just one short of his career high set last season, April 17, at George Mason.
Donorovich also had an effective week offensively with 25 kills, a .579 hitting percentage, and four service aces over the three-game span.
This EIVA Defensive Player of the Week is the second for Donorovich, who won the award after his 10-block game against George Mason in 2018.
Donorovich and the Nittany Lions will be on the road this week for a pair of nonconference road games in Illinois. They'll take on Lewis Thursday at 8 p.m. before facing Loyola-Chicago Saturday at 4 p.m.
