It is fitting that USC is fielding a team this inaugural season. After all, the sport was born on Southern California’s beaches. Furthermore, it is perfect fit for a school like USC with such a successful volleyball tradition, both on the sand and indoor. In its storied indoor history, USC has won six national championships and produced more than three dozen All-American first teamers along with numerous Olympians and beach stars (including April Ross and Jennifer Kessy, who currently rank among the world’s top teams).
