BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) unveiled its annual volleyball awards on Wednesday, with two Saint Mary's University standouts earning spots on the 2025 MIAC All-Conference Team.

Junior middle hitter Kali Olson was recognized for the second consecutive year, while senior outside hitter Brenna Bruchert picked up her first career All-Conference honor. The dynamic duo powered the Cardinals offense all season long, consistently leading the team in kills and overall production. 

Olson finished the season with 316 kills, ranking fourth in the MIAC with an average of 2.98 kills per set. The New York Mills native also led the entire conference in total points at 406 and anchored the Cardinals defense with 93 blocks, good for fifth in the MIAC.

Bruchert capped off her senior campaign in dominant fashion, posting 344 kills to lead both the team and the conference with 3.25 kills per set. In addition to her offensive firepower, the senior outside hitter from Eau Claire also added 26 service aces on the year.

Together, Olson and Bruchert helped guide Saint Mary's to a strong 11-16 overall record and a competitive 4-7 mark in MIAC play, narrowly missing out on a postseason berth but marking a significant step forward for the program.
