Fan Choice Player of the Year Contest Starts This Week Off the Block | offtheblockblog.wordpress.com | Telephone: 972-345-6618 | Email: [email protected] Fan Choice Player of the Year contest starts this week For immediate release May 21, 2012 Sixty-five players have been selected for the Off the Block Fan Choice Player of the Year tournament field. The Fan Choice Player of the Year recognizes the best individual performances from NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball players during the season and gives volleyball fans from around the world the chance to determine who was the best player. The contest is a bracket-style seven-round tournament matching up the nation’s best players against each with the winner being determined through online voting on the Off the Block website, offtheblockblog.com. The tournament will begin at 12:01 a.m. (EST) Tuesday with the play-in match between Penn State middle attacker Aaron Russell and UCLA outside attacker Gonzalo Quiroga. The 32 first-round matches will then begin on Wednesday and Thursday. Every round will last one day with the polls closing at 11 p.m. (EST). The player with the most votes when the polls close will advance to the next round. Several volleyball organizations give a National Player of the Year award at the end of each season. However, the Off the Block Fan Choice Player of the Year is the only player of the year award solely determined by the fans. Off the Block selected and seeded the tournament field using several factors, including a player’s performance during the season, all-conference and All-American honors, level of competition played throughout the season and how the player’s team fared. Each team in the EIVA, MIVA, MPSF, the Conference Carolinas and teams in the process of transition from the NAIA to Division II received one automatic bid to the tournament. Off the Block also award 30 at-large bids to complete the 65-player field. Players selected to the tournament were placed into four regions. Each region — the Matt Anderson Region, the Ryan Millar Region, the Reid Priddy Region and the Clay Stanley Region — was named after a member of the U.S. National Men’s Volleyball Team, which will compete at the upcoming Olympics in London. This is the second year of the Off the Block Fan Choice Player of the Year. Loyola outside attacker Mike Bunting won the 2011 Off the Block Fan Choice Player of the Year as more than 15,000 votes were cast throughout the event.

And rightfully so. They keep adding to their resumes with significant honors – most recently, Taylor’s 4-Star FIVB tournament with Jake Gibb (November in Chetumal,W Mexico) and Trevor’s sublime triumph at the Manhattan Beach Open last August. But while Taylor and Trevor won a few NORCECAs playing together, they could never capture an AVP or FIVB title, which, in part, led them to seek different partners. The Crabbs are not the only elite brother combo (see page 22) to seek the pro beach volleyball limelight. In fact, the most intriguing set of siblings may be the Partains, 19-year-old Marcus and 18-year-old Miles. Together, they were the youngest team to make an AVP main draw, which they achieved in Hermosa Beach, California, in July of 2017. Separately, Miles, at 15 years and seven I do (get excited when Miles months, became the youngest individual to ever make an AVP main draw. “ But it wasn’t until this past fall that Miles really broke out.

  • USA Profile.Qxd
    USA TEAM PROFILE - Men’s The U.S. Men’s national Volleyball team is looking to regain some of the shine that it had when it won three straight Olympic medals in Los Angeles (gold in 1984), Seoul, South Korea (gold in 1988) and Barcelona, Spain (bronze in 1992).To get to that point, however, Hall of Fame head coach Doug Beal needs more consistency from a relatively young team that went 19-17 in 2002 and fin- ished ninth at the World Championships in Argentina. At that tournament the men won their first four matches, including a come-from-behind five-set thriller over eventual world champion Brazil, and was in a perfect position to reach the quarterfinals. But a crushing five-set loss to Greece and a four-game setback to Serbia and Montenegro in the final match of the second round ended the sea- son for Team USA. The men, ranked No. 13 in the world to start this new year, showed glimpses of its potential to return to the upper echelon of the Volleyball world last season, posting wins over three of the top four teams in the world (No. 2 Brazil, No. 3 Serbia and Montenegro and No. 4 Italy). But losses to teams like No. 20 Bulgaria, No. 20 Canada and No. 19 Czech Republic revealed the dark side of the team’s potential. Young talent like Brook Billings, Clay Stanley, Jim Polster, Adam Naeve, Dave McKienzie, Reid Priddy and Chris Seiffert all emerged as possible players that Beal can depend on this coming season.

The national title is the second in program history as the 2018 squad joins the 1991 team as the only two men’s volleyball programs at Long Beach State to win a national champion- ship. Head coach Alan Knipe secured his first national title as a head coach, and second overall as he was a junior on the 1991 squad. After winning the first set, Long Beach State (28-1) dropped the next two and had its back up against the wall in the fourth set, but the Beach battled back and knocked off UCLA (26-8) on its home court of Pauley Pavilion in front of an electric crowd of 7,248 to force a fifth set. Then, with the match tied at two sets a piece, Long Beach State earned a 15-12 victory over the Bruins to capture the title. The Beach had three players named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team led by Most Outstanding Player, Josh Tuaniga. Joining Tuaniga on the All-Tournament Team were juniors TJ DeFalco and Kyle Ensing.
