NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONSHIP RECORDS BOOK 2017 Championship 2 History 3 All-Time Results 10 2017 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Ohio State men's volleyball captures back-to-back championships: Ohio State started 2017 atop the heap of collegiate men’s volleyball as the preseason No. 1 team and then finished as the last squad standing after the national championship match in front of a home crowd amounting to 8,205 attendance. Ohio State defeated BYU in straight sets (25-19, 25-20, 25-22) for the second straight season, capturing the third Buckeye national title since 2011. Nicolas Szerszen capped off his ‘MOP’ performance by obliterating 16 kills at a .480 rate while applying immense and consistent pressure from the service line, and also pacing the Scarlet & Gray with eight digs. He was one of four Buckeyes to attack .400 or better, supplying setter Christy Blough with plentiful options. Maixime Hervoir was responsible for a dozen tallies, bouncing home 10 kills and getting in on four block assists while swinging .471 (10-2-17). After securing victory despite a pedestrian .148 hitting percentage in the opening frame, the Buckeye offense unhitched itself in the next two frames. Ohio State attacked .448 and 480 in the second and third sets, respectively. Trailing 7-6 in the first set, the Buckeyes rattled off a 12-3 run to pull ahead 18-10. BYU trimmed a pair of points off its deficit by set’s end but ultimately came up short in a 25-19 OSU winner. Miles Johnson ignited a Buckeye-dominated second stanza with a kill and block assist in the first two rallies of the set. Johnson would go on to corral six kills in a 25-20 victory. Hervoir and Szerszen added to the punishment from the pins, each burying four kills. Ohio State never trailed in the period. Szerszen took over in the third, inflicting nine kills to the Cougar defense on 12 attempts with a lone error (.667). Hervoir was effective as well, terminating four of his five attempts. However, BYU refused to go away quietly, attacking .455 in set number three. Ohio State sprinted ahead in the offensive track meet though, hitting .480 on 16 kills. Fittingly, the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, Szerszen, sealed the deal on a kill for Ohio State’s 25th and final point. 2017 RESULTS Opening Round Hawaii 3, Penn St. 2 BYU 3, Barton 0 Semifinals Ohio St. 3, Hawaii 0 BYU 3, Long Beach St. 0 Championship Ohio St. 3, BYU 0 2017 Championship 2 HISTORY RESULTS Year Champion (Record) Coach Score Runner-Up Host or Site Match Total Attendance Attendance 1970 UCLA (24-1) Al Scates 3-0 Long Beach St. UCLA 3,143 — 1971 UCLA (29-1) Al Scates 3-0 UC Santa Barbara UCLA — — 1972 UCLA (27-7) Al Scates 3-2 San Diego St. Ball St. — — 1973 San Diego St. (21-5) Jack Henn 3-1 Long Beach St. San Diego St. 7,762 13,412 1974 UCLA (30-5) Al Scates 3-2 UC Santa Barbara UC Santa Barbara 3,000 4,842 1975 UCLA (27-8) Al Scates 3-1 UC Santa Barbara UCLA 8,000 11,500 1976 UCLA (15-2) Al Scates 3-0 Pepperdine Ball St. 4,140 5,514 1977 Southern California (18-1) Ernie Hix 3-1 Ohio St. UCLA 4,500 5,152 1978 Pepperdine (21-4) Marv Dunphy 3-2 UCLA Ohio St. 4,756 7,415 1979 UCLA (30-0) Al Scates 3-1 Southern California UCLA 6,100 6,870 1980 Southern California (22-6) Ernie Hix 3-1 UCLA Ball St. 3,000 5,242 1981 UCLA (32-3) Al Scates 3-2 Southern California UC Santa Barbara 5,000 3,946 1982 UCLA (29-0) Al Scates 3-0 Penn St. Penn St. 5,641 7,476 1983 UCLA (27-4) Al Scates 3-0 Pepperdine Ohio St. 3,638 6,580 1984 UCLA (38-0) Al Scates 3-1 Pepperdine UCLA 9,809 12,898 1985 Pepperdine (25-2) Marv Dunphy 3-1 Southern California UCLA 6,378 7,908 1986 Pepperdine (22-7) Rod Wilde 3-2 Southern California Penn St. 3,610 6,925 1987 UCLA (38-3) Al Scates 3-0 Southern California UCLA 8,952 11,689 1988 Southern California (34-4) Bob Yoder 3-2 UC Santa Barbara Fort Wayne 6,207 12,807 1989 UCLA (29-5) Al Scates 3-1 Stanford UCLA 7,244 9,436 1990 Southern California (26-7) Jim McLaughlin 3-1 Long Beach St. George Mason 5,511 8,347 1991 Long Beach St. (31-4) Ray Ratelle 3-1 Southern California Hawaii — 5,184 1992 Pepperdine (24-4) Marv Dunphy 3-0 Stanford Ball St. 7,391 13,102 1993 UCLA (24-3) Al Scates 3-0 CSUN UCLA 8,482 11,018 1994 Penn St. (26-3) Tom Peterson 3-2 UCLA Fort Wayne 7,908 15,495 1995 UCLA (31-1) Al Scates 3-0 Penn St. Springfield, Mass. 4,376 7,925 1996 UCLA (26-5) Al Scates 3-2 Hawaii UCLA 7,688 11,396 1997 Stanford (27-4) Ruben Nieves 3-2 UCLA Ohio St. 3,798 6,237 1998 UCLA (28-4) Al Scates 3-0 Pepperdine Hawaii 9,822 18,901 1999 BYU (30-1) Carl McGown 3-0 Long Beach St. UCLA 8,026 13,513 2000 UCLA (29-5) Al Scates 3-0 Ohio St. Fort Wayne 2,738 5,031 2001 BYU (23-4) Carl McGown 3-0 UCLA Long Beach St. 4,807 9,009 2002 *Hawaii (24-8) Mike Wilton 3-1 Pepperdine Penn St. 5,357 10,614 2003 **Lewis (29-6) Dave Deuser 3-2 BYU Long Beach St. 4,317 8,157 2004 BYU (29-4) Tom Peterson 3-2 Long Beach St. Hawaii 4,105 7,812 2005 Pepperdine (25-2) Marv Dunphy 3-2 UCLA UCLA 6,853 9,800 2006 UCLA (26-12) Al Scates 3-0 Penn St. Penn St. 5,453 8,916 2007 UC Irvine (29-5) John Speraw 3-1 Fort Wayne Ohio St. 4,755 6,884 2008 Penn St. (30-1) Mark Pavlik 3-1 ***Pepperdine UC Irvine 4,531 9,003 2009 UC Irvine (27-5) John Speraw 3-2 Southern California BYU 3,015 5,579 2010 Stanford (24-6) John Kosty 3-0 Penn St. Stanford 6,530 10,395 2011 Ohio St. (26-6) Pete Hanson 3-2 UC Santa Barbara Penn St. 3,683 7,444 2012 UC Irvine (26-5) John Speraw 3-0 Southern California Southern California 9,612 13,987 2013 UC Irvine (25-7) David Kniffin 3-0 BYU UCLA 6,295 11,186 2014 Loyola Chicago (29-1) Shane Davis 3-1 Stanford Loyola Chicago 4,485 8,806 2015 Loyola Chicago (28-2) Shane Davis 3-2 Lewis Stanford 2,419 4,643 2016 Ohio St. (31-2) Pete Hanson 3-0 BYU Penn St. 2,745 5,519 2017 Ohio St. (32-2) Pete Hanson 3-0 BYU Ohio St. 8,205 13,734 *Participation in 2002 championship vacated by NCAA Committee on Infractions. **Participation in 2003 championship vacated by NCAA Committee on Infractions. ***Participation in 2008 championship vacated by NCAA Committee on Infractions.
