Volleyball NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Volleyball NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S 2011 Championship Highlights Ohio State captures fi rst national title; Buckeyes knock off UC Santa Barbara in fi ve sets to win 2011 championship: Add another title to Ohio State’s championship resume. Shawn Sangrey had a game-high 30 kills and the Buckeyes rallied to beat UC Santa Barbara 20-25, 25-20, 25-19, 22-25, 15-9 on May 7 to win their fi rst NCAA men’s volleyball crown. It’s just the third time a team outside of the West has claimed the title. Penn State won in 1994 and 2008. The Gauchos (18-15) trailed 2-1 but took the fourth set in part to stellar play at the net by fi ery leader Jeff Menzel. He fi nished with 12 kills, and Cullen Irons had 16. But Ohio State (26-6) closed the match with a 5-0 run, capped by a block on Menzel that started the Buckeyes’ party in Happy Valley. UC Santa Barbara had put together a surprising postseason run that included back-to-back wins against top-ranked Southern California. The Gauchos had said all week they play their best when faced with elimination, and they came close to proving it again. The Buckeyes were pushed to the limit and responded in the fi nal set. Sangrey’s powerful right arm overwhelmed the Gauchos, and setter Steven Kehoe deftly set up the off ense with 65 assists. Kehoe won the tournament Most Outstanding Player award. The Buckeyes celebrated by singing the Ohio State alma mater in front of more than four dozen red-clad fans, rocking back and forth in unison while wearing their new black championship hats. It was an odd sight in Rec Hall on the campus of Penn State, a fi erce Big Ten football rival. After Ohio State’s mistake-fi lled fi rst set featuring nine service errors, the Buckeyes regrouped in an entertaining second set highlighted by terrifi c defense and long rallies. They pulled away with a 12-4 run that included four kills from Sangrey. Lewis, a Division II school in Romeoville, Ill., won the 2003 title, but that was later vacated for using ineligible players.

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.

Ammerman, the Anteaters’ setter, registered a career-high 13 total blocks, tied a career high with six kills and recorded 55 assists to help UC Irvine rally for a 26-30, 30-23, 26-30, 30-17, 15-12 victory. It is the program’s second national title in the last three seasons. As proficient as Ammerman was, the tournament’s most outstanding player wasn’t interested in hearing about his individual statistics. “I just wanted to win and that’s it,” said Ammerman, whose team went 27-5 this season. The Anteaters, who were swept by Southern California in the semifinals of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament nine days before the NCAA finale, had a season-high 20.5 blocks to gain a measure of revenge against the Trojans (21-11). Southern California entered the final as a long shot, having gained a spot in the four-team national bracket by upsetting No. 4 Stanford, the top-ranked Anteaters and second-ranked Pepperdine in the MPSF tourney. The postseason run came after the Trojans lost four of their previous six regular-season matches. “The clock struck midnight on us,” said Trojans coach Bill Ferguson, whose team beat defending national champion Penn State in the NCAA semifinals.
