The 27 finalists consist of players and coaches that range from the 1940s to the 2000s. Numerous finalists have already been inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame and others have been inducted into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame. Almost all nominees have won NCAA, AIAW or USVBA National Championships and over two-thirds have competed or coached in at least one Olympic Games. Of the 27 selected, the leading colleges for the finalists are UCLA with eight having either played or coached there and USC in second with six having either played or coached there. Stanford, San Diego State, Long Beach State and Pepperdine have 3 that have either played or coached there. “The SCIVBHOF committee had the unique job of reviewing nearly 100 nominees to reach the 27 finalists and I know it be a challenging process to reach the 15 hall of fame inductees,” said Michael Sondheimer, SCIVBHOF Executive Director. “Anyone associated with USA and Southern California indoor volleyball should be proud of the first two years of accomplishments for the SCIVBHOF in recognizing the legends of the sport and in efforts to grow the future of the indoor sport through making non-profit youth volleyball donations.” The SCIVBHOF is located at American Sports Centers in Anaheim and is a free display open to the public in the Sidelines Café.

  • Volleyball DIVISION I
    Volleyball DIVISION I 2009 Championship Highlights Penn State Erases Two-Set Deficit To Take Unprecedented Third Straight Crown Over Texas: Since before the season started, this was the matchup that the college volleyball world had dreamed of. And did it turn out to be a sweet reality. One of the most highly anticipated NCAA Championship matches of all-time delivered in every way possible, ending with No. 1 Penn State (38-0) becoming the first team to claim three consecutive national titles, with a 22-25, 20-25, 25-23, 25-21, 15-13 victory over second-seeded Texas (29-2) on December 19 in the St. Pete Times Forum. Penn State and Texas held the top two spots in every version of the AVCA poll this season, occupied the top two seeds in the NCAA tournament and lost just one set apiece in the Tournament en route to advancing to the title match. Their combined 66-1 record coming in was the second-best ever among teams in the final. Despite the high expectations, this match didn’t disappoint - de- livering an individual performance for the ages, high-level play all the way and a stirring comeback from the champions. In what seemed to be fitting, the match came down to one final set—and it was just as exciting as the rest of the match. The score was tied for the 10th time in the fifth at 12-12, when Darcy Dorton’s kill nudged Penn State ahead. On the next point, Texas’ Destinee Hooker sent an attack attempt long, which gave the Nittany Lions a match point.
