The top MIVA outside attackers from the last 25 years have been selected for a new conference honor.
Off the Block announced Friday the outside attacker finalists for the MIVA Quarter-Century Team.
The MIVA Quarter-Century Team recognizes the top players who competed in the conference at any point between the 2001 season and 2025 season. The finalists from each position will be unveiled this week and then the MIVA Quarter-Century Team will be announced later this fall.
Off the Block selected the finalists for the MIVA Quarter-Century Team using a variety of metrics including career and season statistics, conference and national honors and a team’s overall achievements with the player on the court.
The MIVA is the oldest conference in college men’s volleyball and is one of seven leagues in the nation that receives an automatic berth to the Division I-II NCAA Tournament. The conference also in the last 25 years has won six NCAA championships.
