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.

  • Volleyball National Collegiate Men’S
    Volleyball NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S 2009 Championship Highlights Career performance leads Anteaters to volleyball crown: UC Irvine’s Ryan Ammerman made his last match his most memorable one by turning in a career performance to lead the Anteaters to a five-set victory over Southern California in the National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship match May 9 in Provo, Utah. 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.

  • 2004 Ncaa Championship Recap
    2004 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP BYU's Fourth Win over 49ers Has Title Ring BYU's top-ranked men's volleyball team captured its third National Collegiate Men's Volleyball Championship since 1999 with a 3-2 victory over Long Beach State May 8 at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu. It was the Cougars' second crown in the past four years. It was a hard-fought victory for BYU, which won the match, 15-30, 30-18, 20-30, 32-30, 19-17. Jonathan Alleman's four kills in the fifth game helped put the Cougars over the top. "On the stat sheet they outplayed us," said BYU head coach Tom Peterson. "But, the bottom line is, it just seemed like we had the heart whenever we needed it. The team absolutely did it all at the end, just like they've done all year." Peterson made NCAA history by becoming the first men's coach to win a national championship with two different teams. He previously led Penn State to the title in 1994. BYU ended its season at 29-4, while Long Beach State posted a 28-7 campaign, with four of the losses to the Cougars. Long Beach State quickly cruised to a 30-15 win in game one, but the Cougars gained the momentum in game two. The match swung back toward Long Beach State's favor in game three as the 49ers broke an 11-11 tie and ended the game on a 19-9 run. BYU then extended the match by winning a fourth game that included 13 ties but only two lead changes.
