2019 senior starter production lost (ConfCarolinas edition)

Jonathan Bates | Associate Editor

As noted before, this was a historic year for the high-level of production and sheer number of contributing seniors in college men’s volleyball. Since the season is over, Off the Block has crunched the numbers for 41 of the 43 with senior starters this past season, and we will be unveiling the data in a six-post installment.

The percentage of production lost is from starting seniors only. Off the Block included liberos as starters, and some teams will have more than seven starters listed as some teams have two players split time as starters at a given position.

Off the Block is releasing the data by conference, and today we continue with ConfCarolinas. No team stands out in terms of losing starting senior production across the board. Conference champion Barton loses the most due to senior starters graduating in terms of kills (29.1%) and digs (43.3%).

Belmont Abbey is one of the two teams in Division I/II who do not lose a senior starter (Daemen).
