COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Four Buckeyes were named to the All-Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association teams Thursday after a vote of league coaches.Â
Senior Jacob Pasteur and junior Cole Young were named 2024 First Team All-MIVA while redshirt senior Michael Wright and sophomore Shane Wetzel earned second team honors.Â

He finished the regular season with more than 500 (523) career kills, 100 career digs (107), and nearly 500 career blocks (.246). This is the second-consecutive season in which Young has been named to the All-MIVA first team.Â
