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 the MIVA. Loyola loses the most starting production from graduating seniors in terms of blocks (No. 3 nationally), digs (No. 4), kills (No. 4), and aces (No. 5). Defending MIVA champion, Lewis, is No. 3 in the nation in terms of assists lost due to the graduation of MIVA Player of the Year, Matt Yoshimoto.

On the other end of the spectrum, McKendree loses the least of senior starter production in terms kills, assists, aces, and blocks. They lose the sixth most in the conference in digs with the graduation of libero Zach Thompson.
