Final ’09 Top 25 Poll: Who loses Whom? (2010)

The following are the senior losses and potential returnees for all teams in the final 2009 Top 25 poll. My benchmarks for key returnees are 100+ kills, digs or assists and/or 50+ blocks. Tis a long post. Figured I’d beat the AVCA site to the punch again.

Also see: senior losses and potential returnees for all Central Region teams.
