Formal statistics have evolved slowly in the sport of collegiate volleyball since the sport was sanctioned by the NCAA in 1970. Unfortunately, the accuracy and defi nitions of such statistics kept by member schools was not ensured until 1986. Th e record-keeping for certain categories, for example, set assists and blocking, only has been required in the last 18 years. With due respect to the legends of UCLA Men’s Volleyball, their names are not listed because our records are incomplete. Paul Nihipali, four-time All-American
