BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Six members of the St. Olaf College men's soccer, women's soccer, and volleyball teams were voted to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) All-Playoff Teams in their respective sports on Tuesday.
First year
Robi Buzakovic was named the Playoff Most Valuable Player and was joined on the Men's Soccer All-Playoff Team by juniors
Victor Gaulmin and
Jordan Oberholtzer, while senior
Tessa Anderson was selected to the Women's Soccer All-Playoff Team. Fifth-year senior

Catherine Moore landed spots on the Volleyball All-Playoff Team. The teams were voted on by the head coaches of the teams that qualified for the postseason.
Buzakovic had three goals and one assist in two games to lead St. Olaf to its third MIAC Playoffs title with wins over Bethel University and previously-unbeaten Gustavus Adolphus College. After recording a goal and an assist in the semifinal victory over the Royals, Buzakovic scored both of the Oles' goals in a 2-1 win in St. Peter on Sunday, including netting the game-winner with 1:01 remaining to send St. Olaf back to the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season.
Gaulmin also scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-0 semifinal victory over Bethel, while Oberholtzer earned the penalty kick that resulted in the game-tying goal for St. Olaf in the win at Gustavus.
Anderson scored in both of St. Olaf's games in the MIAC Women's Soccer Playoffs, tallying the game-winner to give the Oles their first-ever win in the tournament with a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over Saint Mary's before scoring St. Olaf's lone goal in a 3-1 semifinal loss at Carleton College the next day.
Lannom and Moore helped lead St. Olaf to a runner-up finish in the MIAC Volleyball Playoffs. Lannom recorded 21 kills, nine digs, and five aces over the Oles' two matches in the tournament, while Moore finished with 27 kills.
