The term “game” was changed to “set.” Also, scoring for each set moved from 30 points to 25 points, except in matches that go to the full five sets, in which the winning score in the fifth set remains 15 points. The match format previously changed in 2001, with scoring for each set moving from 15 points to 30 points, except in matches that went to the full five sets, in which the winning score in the fifth set remained 15 points. In reflection of these changes, and to copy the NCAA Records format, category leaders under the different scoring formats for Match and Season are separated in order to not eliminate the achievements of those student-athletes who played with the previous format. www.midwestconference.org --Yearly Volleyball Champions/Tournament Champions-- CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS MWC TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS Year Conference Champion Year MWC Tournament Champion 2012 Cornell 2012 Cornell 2011 St.
