Eicher makes it two straight NEC Player of the Week awards for Saint Francis U, as she follows Korrin Burns, who was the league’s first honoree of the 2023 campaign. The outside hitter’s performances helped lead the Red Flash to another 2-1 weekend that featured the program’s first-ever victories over Manhattan and Stony Brook at the Red Flash Classic. During that three-match stretch, Eicher averaged 2.92 kills and 1.92 digs per set, adding five service aces and four blocks to that total. The Rostraver Township, PA native had a hot hand to start the weekend, as she hit .421 with just two errors in 19 attempts in a straight-set victory over Manhattan on Friday. On Saturday, she registered a double-double on 15 kills and 12 digs in a hard-fought 3-2 setback to Purdue Fort Wayne before she put together a 13-kill effort in a five-set victory over Stony Brook. Eicher was named to the All-Tournament Team at the conclusion of the weekend. Delivering double-digit kills in each of her six appearances this season, she enters the week ranked third in the circuit in kills per set (3.19) and eighth in service aces per set (0.35).
