John Speraw enters his third season as head coach at his alma mater in 2014-15. Speraw was named UCLA’s

third head coach on June 5, 2012.Speraw assumed the duties of his collegiate

mentor, Al Scates, who retired after 50 years as the Bruins’ head coach.

Speraw, 43, also serves as the head coach for the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team, a position to which he was named on Mar. 25, 2013.

In 2014, Speraw’s Bruin team peaked at #1 in the AVCA polls after winning the Outrigger Hotels Invitational and posting a win over then top-ranked Stanford. Multiple injuries led to several lineup adjustments over the balance of the season and the team tied for fi fth in the MPSF with a 15-9 league record. Late wins down the stretch over Long Beach and BYU down helped rally the team for post-season. However, the Bruins dropped a hard-fought fi ve-setter at UC Santa Barbara in the opening round of the league tournament to fi nish the year with an 18-11 overall mark.

Th ree players earned AVCA All-America recognition - Gonzalo Quiroga - 1st team; Spencer Rowe and Robart Page - HM. Each earned All-MPSF honors as well, Quiroga on the fi rst team and Rowe and Page on the second-team. Mitch Stahl and Jackson Bantle made the MPSF All-Freshman unit. Rowe repeated as a Capital One third-team Academic All-America selection.

In 2013, Speraw won his 200th career collegiate match, defeating UCSB on Jan. 4, 2013 in his fi rst regular season match as coach at UCLA. Speraw guided the Bruins to an 21-11 overall record and a fourth place fi nish in the rugged MPSF, where UCLA compiled a 16-8 conference record. Team accomplish-ments included a tournament championship at the Outrigger Hotels Invitational, league sweeps over rivals USC and Pepperdine and a fi rst-round MPSF playoff victory — the Bruins’ fi rst since 2006.

Individually, UCLA produced a pair of AVCA All-Americans in fi rst-team selection Quiroga and second-team choices Rowe and Evan Mottram. All three players also earned All-MPSF honors.

In addition, Rowe became the fi rst UCLA men’s volleyball player in 13 years to earn Co-SIDA Academic All-America honors. He joined Mottram on the All-MPSF Academic Team.

In the summer of 2014, Coach Speraw guided the U.S. men’s volleyball team to an upset win over top-ranked and three-time reigning World champion Brazil in the FIVB World League gold-medal match. Brazil had won gold or silver at each of the last three Olympics. Later in the summer, the National Team saw their run at the FIVB World Championship end with a loss to Argentina. Th e U.S. fi nished with an overall record of 6-4, including three wins over teams ranked among the top six in the world.

In his fi rst summer as head coach of the

U.S. National Team, Speraw guided the USA to the second round of the 2013 World League competition. In November 2013, Speraw coached Team USA to a fi fth place fi nish at the FIVB Grand Champions Cup in Japan.

Prior to his appointment as the USA’s head coach, Speraw enjoyed a wide variety of experience and success on the international level, serving as an assistant coach with the U. S. Men’s National Team that captured the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

In 2011, he was given the U.S. Olympic Achievement Award, an honor that recognizes the colleges and universities whose coaches and student-athletes have won Olympic medals in the past two Olympiads.

Speraw also served as assistant coach to Alan Knipe for the 2012 U.S. Men’s Olympic Team, which fi nished fi fth after winning its pool. Earlier that year, he returned as the assistant coach for the FIVB World League and fi lled in as head coach for the 2012 World League team for four oversees pool play matches. Th e U.S. men won the silver medal in the FIVB World League Final Round.

Speraw joined the U.S. men’s staff in 2007, serving under Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon. After winning the gold medal, Speraw worked with the U.S. men, as needed, including a stint as the head coach of a young team that fi nished fi fth at the 2011 Pan American Games.

In 2005, Speraw served as head coach of the U.S. Men’s Junior National Volleyball Team that took home the silver medal at the NORCECA Men’s Junior (U-21) Continental Volleyball Championship.

He also served as an assistant for the U.S. Boys’ Youth National Team (1998 and 2001), the World University Games Team (1997 and 1999) and the Pan American Games Team (1999 and 2007).

For 10 seasons prior to his return to West-wood, Speraw served as head coach at UC Irvine and transformed the program into a national power. Under his direction, the Anteaters won three NCAA titles in his fi nal six years and advanced to the NCAA Championship match a total of four times, won two MPSF regular season titles and a pair of MPSF Tournament championships.

In 2009, Speraw guided the UCI team to a 27-5 overall record and ended the year ranked No. 1 in the country. Th e Anteaters were ranked No. 1 for eight weeks, the most of any team in the nation that season. UCI also captured the MPSF regular season title.

With UCI’s fi rst national championship in 2007, Speraw became the only individual to win a title as a head coach, assistant coach and player in collegiate men’s volleyball history.

Along with the national championship in 2007, Speraw’s team also won its fi rst MPSF tournament championship, ended the year with the No. 1 ranking and recorded a school record 29 victories, a win total that was the best among all NCAA Division I-II schools that season,


Speraw was named 2006 AVCA National Coach of the Year as well as MPSF and Volleyball Magazine Coach of the Year. He has been a fi nalist for National Coach of the Year three times. In 2006, the Anteaters claimed their fi rst-ever regular season MPSF title, fi nishing with a 20-2 league record. Th e team won a school-record 21 consecutive matches to end the regular season and held the top ranking for eight consecutive weeks.

Speraw, who compiled a 199-106 (.652) overall record at UCI, mentored both the AVCA Division I-II Men’s National Player of the Year and the AVCA Division I-II Men’s Newcomer of the Year in 2006. UC Irvine players earned All-America distinction 21 times during Speraw’s tenure at UCI, including nine fi rst-teamers. While at Irvine, Speraw’s players also captured MPSF Player of the Year, MPSF Freshman of the Year, NCAA Championship MVP, NCAA All-Tournament Team, numerous national and conference Player of the Week honors as well as academic distinctions such as Academic All-American, MPSF & UCI Scholar-Athletes and Lauds & Laurels Athlete of the Year. Speraw, who had a team ranked No. 1 in fi ve diff erent seasons at UCI, placed the Anteaters in the Top 10 of the fi nal rankings all but one year while at the helm at Irvine.

In 2008, he received a Pillar Award, which showcases outstanding achievement in ethical leadership at the 12th Annual Ethics in America Awards. Speraw was also named to OC METRO Business Magazine’s 18th annual list of the Hottest 25 Business People of Orange County and was tabbed No. 16 in the Daily Pilot’s 2007 Top 103 Most Infl uential People in the Newport/Costa Mesa Area. Speraw was on the Most Infl uential list his last four years at UCI, including the Sports Newsmaker of the Year in 2006.

Prior to his appointment at UC Irvine, Speraw was involved with UCLA’s program for 12 years as a player and assistant coach. He lettered four seasons as a middle blocker, was a member of two NCAA championship teams (1993/’95), and earned NCAA All-Tournament honors for the Bruins in 1995.

As a senior in 1995, he started 29 matches as the Bruins rolled to a 31-1 record and swept Penn State for their 15th NCAA title. In the fi nal against the Nittany Lions, Speraw hit .625 (11-1-16) with eight blocks. For the tournament, he hit .586 (18-1-29). In his four-year career, Speraw hit .421 with 394 kills. He boasted a career blocking average of 1.3 bpg.

After earning his undergraduate degree in microbiology and molecular genetics from UCLA in 1995, Speraw served three seasons (1996-98) as a vol-unteer assistant coach — while also working at the UCLA Hospital — before being elevated to a full-time position in the summer of 1998. He remained in that post until taking the UC Irvine job in 2002. Overall, he was involved with fi ve NCAA title teams (1993, 95, 96, 98 and 2000) during his playing and coaching tenure at UCLA.

Brad Keller, a former outside hitter at Loyola Mary-mount, begins his third season at UCLA. With a reputation for building championship-caliber teams, Keller has spent the last nine seasons on the collegiate level, including helping lead USC to the 2009 NCAA men’s volleyball title match. In his fi rst two seasons at UCLA, Keller has

rounded up a couple of the nation’s best recruiting classes. He was credited with signing the nation’s top class in 2013 — a group of eight student-athletes, all of whom earned Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 honors. Two went on to earn 2014 All-MPSF Freshman team honors. Th e current freshman class includes Volleyball Magazine’s top-two ranked players in Jake Arnitz and Christian Hessen. All of the newcomers in the class were included in the nation’s Fab 50 recruits as listed by Volleyball Magazine. Th is past summer, Keller was on the coaching staff of the U.S. Boys’ Youth National Team which defeated Cuba, 25-23, 25-21, 25-20 on July 19 to win the NORCECA Boys’ Under-19 Continental Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Team USA fi nished the tournament 4-0 and 12-0 in sets. With the result, the U.S. has qualifi ed for the 2015 FIVB Boys’ U19 World Championship. Prior to his appointment at UCLA, Keller served at UConn for the 2011 season working with the Huskies’ women’s volleyball team. Before mov-ing to Storrs, CT, Keller helped guide the UC Irvine men’s team to an 18-11 regular season record, and a No. 3 national ranking. Th e Anteaters fi nished sixth nationally in 2011. In 2010, his fi rst season at UCI, the Anteaters fi nished eighth in the nation. Before his stint at UC Irvine, Keller served as an assistant coach at USC from 2007-10 with the men’s volleyball team. As the off ensive coordinator during the 2009 season, Keller helped guide the Trojans to the NCAA Final, as the USC ended the year ranked second nationally in kills and assists as well as fi fth in hitting percentage. USC lost 15-12 in the fi fth set to UC Irvine. In four seasons with the Trojans, he coached two All-Americans as well as six All-Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation honorees. Keller also helped USC sign some of the best recruiting classes in the nation during his tenure there. In addition, Keller has worked in several capacities for USA Volley-ball. In 2010, he was an assistant coach with the USA Volleyball Men’s Junior National Team, guiding it to its fi rst Gold Medal in USA Volleyball history. Th at fall, Keller helped prepare the U.S. Men’s National Team for the 2010 FIVB World Championship as an advance scout, developing reports for use during World League competition. Keller, 34, founded the Bay to Bay Volleyball Club in San Jose, Calif., a youth boys’ volleyball club created to serve the needs of the South Bay community. He served as the Chief Director from 2001-06 and was heavily involved in all aspects of the organization. Bay to Bay has produced more than 70 varsity collegiate athletes in the past 12 years. As a student-athlete,Keller played two seasons at Loyola Marymount where he graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and

Andrea Becker, who served as an assistant men’s volleyball coach at UC Irvine in 2012 when the Anteaters marched to the NCAA title, begins her third season as UCLA’s assistant coach.

In season two at UCLA, coach Becker assisted in bringing in another outstanding recruiting class featuring four recruits listed on Volleyball Magazine’s

Fab 50, two of whom were listed as the publication’s highest ranked high school seniors. In her role as academic monitor, she has provided support and guidance for the six Bruins who graduated in 2014, including Spencer Rowe a two-time third-team Captial One Academic All-America selection. In addition to her role as an assistant coach for the men’s volleyball team, Becker provides sport psychology services to other teams, coaches and athletes on the UCLA campus. During the off -season, Becker serves as Head of Delegation and as a sport psychology consultant for the U.S. men’s volleyball team. In July 2014, the team captured a Gold Medal by beating top-ranked Brazil in the FIVB World League Finals in Florence, Italy. Becker, 35, is also a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Cal State Fullerton. In assuming her duties at UCLA, she has taken a sabbatical from CSUF. In 2012, Becker helped UC Irvine capture the NCAA champion-ship. Th e Anteaters fi nished with a 26-5 record, won the MPSF Tournament crown and defeated top-ranked USC in three sets to capture their third NCAA championship in six years. Becker received her PhD in Sport Studies from the University of Tennessee in 2007 where she also worked in the Volunteer athletic department, providing sport psychology services to athletes, coaches and teams. In her fi nal year at Tennessee, she was honored with the Edward A. Capen Research Award and the Extraordinary Professional Promise Award. She received her BS (2001) and MS (2003) degrees in Kinesiology and Sport Performance from Sacramento State, where she was honored with the A.W. Hobt Teaching Award for the 2004-05 academic year. Becker is an active member of the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and the National Assn. for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. She has published her research in Th e Sport Psychologist, where she also serves on the editorial board. She is also co-author of Focused For Fastpitch, a softball-specifi c mental training book.

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 23 years. With due respect to the legends of UCLA Men’s Volleyball, their names are not listed because our records are incomplete.

UCLA VOLLEYBALL LETTERMEN, 1960-PRESENT


Since 1970, UCLA has won 19 NCAA volleyball titles, all under the direction of coach Al Scates. Among UCLA sports, that total is a school record. Below are capsule summaries of UCLA’s 19 NCAA title teams.

1970 - AT UCLATh e Bruins won the fi rst NCAA championship in Pauley Pavil-ion by surviving a round-robin tournament and easily sweeping Long Beach State in the fi nal. Th e Bruins’ Dane Holtzman (MVP), and All-Tournament selections Kirk Kilgour and Ed Becker gave coach Al Scates the fi rst of 19 title trophies.

1971 - AT UCLAAgain UCLA played host and repeated as champion. Th e Bruins, despite an easy victory in their fi rst match, survived the tough round-robin pool play format where they were extended to three games twice. In the fi nals, UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara in three games. Kirk Kilgour ended a brilliant UCLA career by sharing Co-MVP honors with the Gau-chos’ Tim Bonynge. Th e Bruins’ Larry Griebenow and Ed Machado were All-Tournament selections.

1972 — AT BALL STATETh e Bruins won their third consecutive title as heavy underdogs to San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara at Ball State. Th e Bruins, who received an at-large bid, were routed by SDSU in round-robin play, but an upset against UCSB gave them a fi nal match showdown against the Aztecs. SDSU appeared ready for a three-game sweep, winning the fi rst two games, 15-10, 15-9, and opening an 8-3 lead in Game 3. But the Bruins rallied after Scates called a timeout. MVP Dick Irvin and All-Tournament selection John Zajec sparked the comeback.

1974 - AT UC SANTA BARBARAUC Santa Barbara was the heavy favorite to win at home and easily beat the Bruins in Games 1 and 3 in the title match. With the Gauchos ahead 6-1 in the fi fth game, Scates inserted seldom-used freshman Sabin Perkins, who served six straight points, including three aces, to reverse the momentum and give UCLA its fourth championship in fi ve years. UCLA’s Bob Leonard was named MVP, and Mike Normand and Jim Menges were named to the All-Tournament squad.

1975 - AT UCLAUC Santa Barbara invaded Pauley Pavilion unbeaten and with the reputation as the best collegiate volleyball team in history. Before more than 8,000 fans, Scates received a great fi nal match performance from MVP John Bekins and fi ne hitting and blocking from All-Tournament

members John Herron and Joe Mica, as well as Chris Irvin, Fred Sturm and Denny Cline.

1976 - AT BALL STATEDown 15-14 in Game 1 against Pepperdine at Ball State, the Bruins staged another of their patented comebacks after backup setter Steve Suttich made a diving save off what appeared to be the game point. Th e Bruins went on to easily win Games 2 and 3 and their sixth title of the decade.

1979 - AT UCLAAfter a two-year title drought, the Bruins returned to the NCAA Cham-pionships on their home court unbeaten and primed to become collegiate volleyball’s fi rst undefeated team. Despite dropping the fi rst game, 12-15 to USC, Joe Mica sparked the comeback that gave UCLA its historic 31-0 season. Sinjin Smith was voted MVP and Steve Salmons, Peter Ehrman and Mica were named to the All-Tournament team.

1981 - AT UC SANTA BARBARAUCLA overcame injuries to win a fi ve-game match against arch rival USC. Th e Trojans led 5-1 and 9-7 in the fi fth game, but All-Tournament selection Steve Salmons, who spent most of the season rehabilitating his knee, rallied the Bruins this time. MVP Karch Kiraly set brilliantly and Steve Gulnac earned All-Tournament honors. Th e victory avenged the previous year’s four-game loss to USC in the fi nals at Ball State.

1982 - AT PENN STATERanked No. 1 and unde-feated, the Bruins entered the NCAA Tournament as heavy favorites. UCLA swept Ohio State in the semifi nals. Th e next night the Bruins downed host Penn State, 15-4, 15-9, 15-7. Kiraly became the first player in collegiate volleyball history to receive MVP honors two straight years, and Doug Partie, Mark Kinnison and Dave Mochalski were All-Tournament selections.

1983 - AT OHIO STATEDespite losing three of their fi rst six conference matches, the Bruins rolled to their second straight league title, forcing Pepperdine, which had beaten UCLA in two of three meetings, into the grueling regionals. Th e Waves won the wildcard spot, setting the stage for another UCLA-Pepperdine battle. In the semifi nals, UCLA cruised to a three-game victory over Ohio State, and the Waves obliged by beating Penn State. In the fi nal, UCLA dominated play at the net and limited the Waves to a .099 hitting percentage. Th e three-game sweep gave coach Al Scates his 10th NCAA title, tying him with John Wooden. Ricci Luyties was

UCLA’S 19 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS


voted Most Outstanding Player and Wally Martin, Doug Partie and Steve Gulnac joined him on the All-Tournament Team.

1984 - AT UCLASeveral milestones were achieved during this historic season. In addition to an undefeated season, the Bruins’ 38 victories were an NCAA men’s volleyball record as well as a school record. Scates guided UCLA to an unprecedented fourth consecutive national championship, his 11th in the 15-year history of the sport, moving him ahead of Wooden. Th e title match drew a record 9,809 spectators, and UCLA’s Ricci Luyties earned Most Outstanding Player honors for the second straight year. Other Bruins named to the All-Tournament Team were seniors Doug Partie and Roger Clark, plus freshman Ozzie Volstad, who would be instrumental in the Bruins’ next title season.

1987 - AT UCLATh e Bruins stormed into the NCAA Tournament with all the advantages: a 25-match winning streak, a No. 1 seeding, two weeks of rest, the coun-

try’s best record, the home court crowd and a wealth of tradition. In typical Al Scates fashion, UCLA breezed past Ohio State in the semifi nals, while USC needed fi ve games to outlast a tough Penn State team. A crowd of 8,952, third largest in collegiate vol-leyball history, cheered as the Bruins swept past their arch rivals in a two-hour, three-game match, 15-11, 15-2, 16-14. UCLA tied its school record for single season victories by fi nishing with a 38-3 record, and senior All-American Ozzie Volstad capped an outstanding career by earning Most Outstanding Player honors. Seniors Jeff Williams and Arne Lamberg also were named to the All-Tournament Team.

1989 - AT UCLATh e Bruins were hosts for the 20th annual tournament, featuring a fi nal match showdown between a veteran coach and his young understudy. Fred Sturm, a member of the Bruins’ 1976

NCAA title team, entered Pauley Pavilion as head coach of Stanford, playing in its fi rst title match. In the semifi nals, the Bruins swept Penn State, while the Cardinal got a scare from Ball State before winning in four. In the fi nal, the Bruins jumped off to a quick start and won Games 1 and 2, 15-1, 15-13. Stanford appeared to have regrouped in Game 3 by stomping the Bruins 15-4, but Scates and MVP Matt Sonnichsen hung on to win Game 4, 15-12. Bruins named to the All-Tournament team were Trevor Schirman, who shut down Stanford Olympian Scott Fortune, and seniors Anthony Curci and Matt Whitaker.

1993 - AT UCLAUCLA ended a three-year championship drought by sweeping Ohio State in the semifi nals and upstart Cal State Northridge in the fi nals. Th e Bruins continued several championship streaks: they extended their Pauley

Pavilion NCAA post-season winning string to 20 consecutive matches and ran their record in home court NCAA fi nals to 14-0. Scates’ 14th NCAA title inched him closer to the national record. Senior setter Mike Sealy and sophomore quick hitter Jeff Nygaard earned co-Most Outstanding Player honors. Senior Dan Landry and sophomore Kevin Wong also were voted to the NCAA All-Tournament Team. Th e Bruins set a two-match NCAA Tournament record by hitting .463, and Nygaard set a single match championship record by hitting .867 (13-0-15) against Ohio State.

1995 - AT SPRINGFIELD, MATh e championship returned to volleyball’s birthplace and the kingpin of the sport reclaimed its crown. Follow-ing the second-place fi nish to Penn State the previous year, UCLA’s four fi fth-year seniors vowed revenge in earnest. UCLA avenged a shocking 3-0 mid-season loss to Ball State by spanking the Cardinals 3-0 in the semifi -nals. Revenge also served as the major motivation against Penn State. Th e Bruins swept them in the fi nals to restore order to the collegiate vol-leyball world. Along the way the Bruins established some impressive records: 34 straight weeks as the nation’s No.1 ranked team, a string of 34 home victories and three consecutive 19-0 MPSF title seasons. Senior Jeff Nygaard won his second straight AVCA and Volleyball Magazine Player of the Year awards, and Stein Metzger, John Speraw and Nygaard were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team, the latter selected as Most Outstanding Player.

1996 - AT UCLATh e improbable championship proved one of the most exciting and gratifying for coach Al Scates. “Th is one was special because we had to work so hard for it,” said Scates, whose 16th title tied him with former Houston golf coach Dave Williams for the NCAA lead. With four starters gone from the previous season, the Bruins gutted out No.16 in a thrilling fi ve-game, three-hour and twenty-seven minute fi nal against Hawaii, the preseason favorite. Th e victory raised the Bruins’ intimidating post-season home-court record to 24-0 and improved their overall NCAA playoff record to 43-4. UCLA’s Stein Metzger, the AVCA co-Player of the Year, earned All-Tournament honors along with the Bruins’ Tom Stillwell, who led the country in blocking average.

1998 - AT HAWAI’ITh e Bruins saved their best for last in winning for Scates a record-breaking 17th title. After outlasting Lewis University 3-2 in the semifi nals, the fi nal against Pepperdine on a hostile court proved to be a match of veterans vs. inexperience. With fi ve of six starters boasting NCAA championship match experience, the Bruins cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Waves, who claimed just one starter with previous championship experience. Scates

Roger Clark earned NCAA All-Tournament honors in 1984.

Kevin Wong earned NCAA All-Tournament honors as a sophomore in 1993.



John Speraw (l) and Erik Sullivan team up for this block against Penn State in the 1995 NCAA fi nals at Springfi eld, MA.

saved his best game plan for the fi nal, which produced a Bruin hitting percentage of .454 and nine aces. Adam Naeve, who spiked 23 kills on .629 hitting and added three aces and fi ve blocks, was named Most Outstanding Player. Setter Brandon Taliaferro and outside hitter Fred Robins also were named to the All-Tournament Team.

2000 - AT IPFWTh is championship was all about avenging past demons. Th e coaches were determined to eradicate all the bad memories of losing the 1994 championship match to Penn State at IPFW and the players wanted to redeem themselves after losing in the fi rst round of the 1999 league playoff s. Senior setter Brandon Taliaferro guided UCLA to a pair of sweeps over Penn State in the semifi nals and Ohio State in the fi nals. Against OSU, the Bruins hit .459 for the match, served eight aces, and out-blocked the Buckeyes, 12-6. Senior Evan Th atcher led all players with 25 kills (.468). Taliaferro and junior Mark Williams added three aces apiece and sophomore Matt Komer led the team with six blocks. Th e turning point in the match came in Game 3 when senior Ed Ratledge rallied the Bruins from a 13-8 defi cit by serving two points, including an ace. Taliaferro earned Most Outstanding Player honors and seniors Seth Burnham and Th atcher were named to the All-Tournament Team.

2006 - AT PENN STATEOn March 17, the Bruins rallied to defeat USC 3-2 to win the Kilgour Cup. Th e victory improved the Bruins’ overall record to 13-12 and ignited a 14-match winning streak that included several improbable upsets: 3-1 at Hawaii in the MPSF quarterfi nals, 3-0 vs. Pepperdine in the league semifi nals and 3-1 vs. Long Beach State in the MPSF championship match. Th e Bruins buried IPFW 3-0 in the NCAA semifi nals and defeated host Penn State in the championship to capture their 19th NCAA crown under Scates and UCLA’s 98th overall. In the championship match, the Bruins rallied from an eight-point defi cit in Game 2 to win their second NCAA title at Penn State (the fi rst came in 1982). Damien Scott and Dennis Gonzalez were named to the All-Tournament team, and Steve Klosterman, who had battled back from shoulder surgery the previous season, was named Most Outstanding Player. Th e Bruins’ 26-12 overall record represented the most losses by a national champion.

BRUIN ALL-STARS


Denny Cline (45) lettered at UCLA from 1974-76 and was, in Al Scates’ words, “a player who got more production out of less talent than any I’ve ever coached.” After being cut as a freshman, Cline fought his way into the lineup and the Bruins won three straight NCAA titles. Cline earned NCAA All-Tournament honors as a

senior captain in 1976. He went on to play for the U.S. National Team that year and graduated from UCLA in 1977 with a 3.6 grade point average in Political Science. During the 1977

season, he served as a graduate assistant coach, and in 1978 Scates elevated him to full-time status. Cline served two stints and eight seasons as an assistant coach. As a player and assistant coach, he was involved in seven of the Bruins’ fi rst 11 NCAA titles. He coached all three of UCLA’s undefeated teams, played on the Bruins’ second three-peat championship run (1974-76), and coached three-straight national championship teams (1982-84).

Sinjin Smith (22) began his UCLA career in 1976 with an NCAA title and fi nished it by leading the Bruins to their fi rst undefeated season in 1979, for

which he was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstand-ing Player. Smith was a three-time all-conference player,

two-time All-American and led the Bruins to a record of 85-9. Smith earned a spot on the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team, but did not compete when the United States boycotted. He then dedicated the rest of his athletic career to beach volleyball, where he ruled the sand with partner Randy Stoklos for more than a decade. Th e pair won a record 114 open beach tournaments together, more than $1.6 million and was responsible

for the tremendous popularity of the sport. In 1996 at age 39, Smith and former Bruin Carl Henkel qualifi ed

for the Olympic beach competition and advanced to the semifi nals before losing in an epic battle to eventual gold medalists Karch Kiraly and Kent Steff es. In August 2001, Smith retired from the game at the Manhattan Open, a tournament he had won fi ve times. Today, he serves as an ambassador for the game and administrator for the FIVB.

Smith’s oldest son Hagen is a sophomore on the current UCLA team.

Doug Partie (20) played alongside Ricci Luyties and formed an un-beatable combination. Th e Bruins won 126 of 133 matches with each of his four seasons resulting in an NCAA title. Partie controlled the

net as one of collegiate volleyball’s most feared blockers—the Bruins established blocking records during his tenure that still stand. He was a three-time all-con-

ference and All-America selection. On the U.S. National Team, he won a gold medal in

1988 and a bronze in 1992. He played profession-ally in the prestigious Italian League for two seasons and

earned league all-star recognition. On the four-man pro beach circuit he earned league all-star honors, and in 1995 led Team Sideout to the regular season championship for which he won MVP honors. Partie’s son Kendall also played volleyball at UCLA.

Larry Rundle (43) and Ernie Suwara (54) were All-Americans together on some of the great UCLA

teams of the 1960s before volleyball became an NCAA sport. Suwara was an Olympian in 1964 before playing at UCLA from 1965-67, and Rundle

served as captain of the U.S. Olympic Team in 1968 after his success with the Bruins from 1965-66. Rundle, who played for a pair of UCLA conference champion-ship teams, also played on the U.S. Pan American and

World Games teams and was a fi ve-time MVP in the USVBA national championshps from 1966-72. Suwara served as captain of the Bruins in

1967, played for three league championship teams and the Bruins were 72-8 during his college career. On the sand, Rundle won 13 beach tournaments and Suwara won two.

Ricci Luyties (11) played for the Bruins from 1981-84 and fi nished every season with a national championship ring. During two of those seasons, 1982 and 1984, the Bruins went undefeated. Th ey also won 83 straight home matches during his career, compiled a

record of 126-7 and won three- straight league titles. Individually, Luyties earned All-America honors twice, all-conference honors three times, and was selected Volleyball Magazine’s Player of

the Year and the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player two straight years. He is the only player to receive

both of the aforementioned awards two straight seasons. As a member of the U.S. National Team, he played on the 1988 team that won a gold medal in Seoul. On

the pro beach circuit, Luyties won seven tournaments, including the 1991 U.S. Championships at Hermosa Beach. Currently, he is the head women’s volleyball coach at UC San Diego.

Steve Salmons (29) was a three-time All-American, who was selected the Player of the Year in 1978. In 1979, he played on the fi rst undefeated volley-

ball team in NCAA history alongside fellow Hall of Famer Sinjin Smith. In 1981, after rehabilitating an injury during the regular season, he earned NCAA All-Tournament honors and led the Bruins to their

eighth NCAA title. After leaving UCLA, he played for the U.S. National Team with Karch Kiraly until 1986 and helped lead the United States to the triple crown of international volleyball — the Olympic

gold medal in 1984, the World Cup Championship in 1985, and the World Championship title in 1986. As a professional beach player, he was a member of the team that won the 1993 Japan Open. His teams

also won 12 tournaments on the Budweiser 4-Man Tour from 1993-97. He earned all-league and Best Middle Blocker honors in 1994.

UCLA’S VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAMERS


Recruited entirely from a videotape, Asbjorn (Ozzie) Volstad (24) became one of the greatest volleyball players in UCLA

history. He arrived on campus from Forde, Norway and quickly earned a starting spot on the three-time defending

NCAA championship team in 1984. As a freshman quick hitter, Volstad played on a team that recorded a 38-0 record and cap-tured its fourth consecutive NCAA title. In his career, he was selected an All-America and all-conference player four times (equalled only by Karch Kiraly), and led the Bruins to a pair of NCAA titles. In 1987, his senior season, he swept player of the year honors for Volleyball Magazine, the conference,

and the NCAA Tournament as the Bruins boasted an overall record of 38-3, 18-0 in conference play. He also held the UCLA career records for digs (746), kills (1,237) and blocks (337) for several years. Until the Libero position was created, he held the single season digs record of 308 set in 1986. A standout in the

classroom, Volstad earned Academic All-America honors twice and was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship for the 1986-87 year.

Kirk Kilgour (13) was the fi rst volleyball player inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame as a charter member in 1984. As a player, Kilgour

enjoyed the distinction of playing on Al Scates’ fi rst two NCAA championship teams. A three-time All-American (USVBA and NCAA), Kilgour’s record was 80-5, including a record of 29-1 in

1971 when he was selected as the NCAA Tournament’s co-Most Outstanding Player. After college, he played for several years on the U.S. National Team and in the Italian professional league before a tragic accident in 1976 ended his volleyball career. Kilgour’s accident did not diminish his enthusiasm for the game. He was an assistant coach at Pepperdine when the Waves won the NCAA title in 1985 and served as head coach from 1979-82. He also worked as a volleyball broadcaster for all the major networks and cable outlets, working several Olympiads, most recently 1996. In 1977, Dr. Paul Berns and Al Scates organized the Kilgour Cup in his honor, and the benefi t match continued for 35 years. Kilgour died July 10, 2002 but his legacy continues in a book

— Lucky Break — written by his former fi ancee, Belinda Begley.

Considered America’s greatest volleyball player, Karch Kiraly (31) has earned nearly every award imaginable in his sport. In addition to being inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993, he also was inducted into the

Volleyball Hall of Fame in Springfi eld, MA, on Oct. 19, 2001. In Dec. 2000, he was voted Male Volleyball Player of the Century by the FIVB. In 2005, he was

inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame and in January, 2006, he was voted the most infl uential person in the sport’s fi rst 100 years. In 1984 and ’88, he led the U.S. Olympic Team to a pair of volleyball gold medals and kept the team atop the world rankings for several years with victories in the World Cup, World Champion-ships, and USA Cup. He was voted Most Valuable

Player in the Olympics, World Cup, and USA Cup as well as the FIVB’s MVP twice. On the sand, Kiraly was a

three-time Beach Volleyball World Champion and won the Olympic gold medal in the inaugural beach volleyball com-petition in Atlanta. His 148 career open beach victories and his career winnings of more than $3 million rank fi rst on the all-time lists. At UCLA, Kiraly led the Bruins to three NCAA

titles, two undefeated seasons, and a record of 126-5. He was a four-time All-American and two-time NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. In the classroom, he earned Academic All-America honors and the NCAA Top Five Award. Kiraly is currently the Head Coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team. Both of Kiraly’s sons are UCLA graduates.

Mike O’Hara, an outstanding outside hitter, was a UCLA pioneer in the sport and was in-strumental in making volleyball a varsity sport at UCLA. In 1953, with Athletic Director Wilbur Johns’ permission, O’Hara’s championship fra-ternity volleyball team represented UCLA and won the National Collegiate Championship in Omaha, Nebraska. Th e following year, Johns elevated men’s volleyball to varsity status and the Bruins once again captured the national championship. In both seasons, O’Hara received All-America honors. After graduating from UCLA, O’Hara played on the USA National Team in 1959, ‘63 and ‘64. He was a member of the 1959 gold medal team at the Pan Am Games and a member of the 1964 Olympic

team. O’Hara also competed in U.S. Volleyball Association national tourna-ments and was named USVBA MVP in 1961 and ‘63. O’Hara and teammate Mike Bright dominated beach tournaments in the 1960s, winning the fi rst fi ve Manhattan Beach Opens. O’Hara was elected to the USA Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1996. Addition-ally, O’Hara was Vice-President of the L.A. Olympic Organizing Committee for the 1984 Olympics, and helped negotiate the location of the Olympic Organizing Committee headquarters, later known as the Peter V. Ueberroth building on campus.

Jeff Nygaard (9) starred at UCLA for four seasons (1992-95). He made an immediate impact in Westwood and was named both conference and NCAA

Freshman of the Year in 1992. Nygaard helped the Bruins to the 1993 NCAA title, setting a championship record by hitting .867 against Ohio State in the semifi nals. He was named the 1993 NCAA Championship’s co-Most Outstanding Player. In 1994, he set UCLA records with 650 kills while averaging 6.98 kills per game. Th e Bruins advanced to the championship match and Nygaard made the NCAA All-Tournament Team. In 1995, Nygaard helped lead the Bruins to a 31-1 record, an undefeated league record and was named Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA Tournament. For three straight seasons (1993-95), Nygaard received all-conference and fi rst-team All-America honors as well as being honored as the consen-

sus National Player of the Year in 1994 and 1995. For his career, Nygaard ranks in the Top 10 in kills (1,800), blocks (658), aces (123), digs (571), blocking average (1.88), kills per game (5.14) and kill percentage (.427).

In 2001, he joined the AVP, won a total of six events in his career, was named the 2003 AVP Most Valuable Player and AVP Team of the Year with partner Dain Blanton. Nygaard is currently an assistant men’s volleyball coach at USC.




Stein Metzger (5) was a standout setter for the Bruins from 1993-96. During his career, UCLA captured four conference titles and three NCAA crowns (93-95-96). Metzger started on two of those national championship teams and earned NCAA All-Tournament honors twice. Metzger ranks second on the UCLA all-time list in set assists with 5,158, and owns two of the top fi ve UCLA single season marks in set assists. He was named fi rst-team all-conference in 1996 and an AVCA 1st Team All-American in 1995 and 1996. In 1996, he was also honored as conference Player-of-the-Year and the AVCA National co-Player of the Year. Metzger was one

of the most colorful and popular players on the AVP circuit. He paired with Jake Gibb to form the 2005 AVP Team of the Year while capturing four event titles, leading the Tour in digs (950), ranking second in hitting percentage (.452) and third in kills (1,314). During his beach career, he captured a total of 18 titles (16 domestic, 2 international), won bronze at the 2001 Goodwill Games and silver at the 2003 FIVB World Championships. Metzger was also a 2004 Olympian in Beach Volleyball where he and partner Dax Holdren fi nished fi fth.

Considered one of the greatest collegiate coaches in history, Al Scates (50) was the architect of a program that won 19 NCAA championships, 24 conference ti-tles, produced three undefeated seasons and won more than 1,200 matches in 50 seasons. Eighty of his players earned All-America honors, 44 played on the U.S. National Team, 27 participated in the Olympic Games and seven were named collegiate Players of the Year at least once. In half a century, Scates compiled a coaching record of 1,239-290 (.812), one of the best percentages in NCAA history.

Scates won NCAA titles in 1970-71-72-74-75-76-79-81-82-83-84-87-89-93-95-96-98-2000 and 2006. He was the only coach to lead a team to three successive titles three times, including four straight from 1981-84. Scates was named Coach of the Year six times (1984-87-93-96-98-2006).Scates was the fi rst active coach to be inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame (2003). He was also enshrined in the AVCA Hall of Fame (2004), the California Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame (1998), the USA Volleyball Hall of Fame (1995) and the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Springfi eld, Mass. (1993). In addition, he was also given the 2003 UCLA Alumni Assn. Award for Professional Achievement.When he retired, UCLA held 27 NCAA men’s volleyball team and individual records, including consecutive victories (48), consecutive home court victories (83), consecutive NCAA Tournament victories (15) and most undefeated seasons (3). No other program claims an undefeated season. Finally, he guided the Bruins to a record of 52-7 in NCAA Tournament matches and a record of 25-1 in NCAA Tournament matches at Pauley Pavilion.Many of Scates’ former players have become successful coaches. John Speraw (UCLA ‘95), who succeeded him in 2012, won three NCAA titles at UC Irvine in a decade as the Anteaters’ head coach. Karch Kiraly (UCLA ‘83), the all-time leader in beach doubles victories with 149, helped guide the U.S. Women’s National Team to a pair of silver medals as an assistant coach before being promoted to head coach following the 2012 London Olympics. Dave Nichols, who played for Scates in the 1970s, has won two NCAA Division II championships and won more than 300 matches in his coaching career.Scates tutored some of the greatest names in volleyball history. In addition to Kiraly, who has won two indoor gold medals and one on the beach, he coached the legendary Sinjin Smith, who ranks fi rst all-time with 114 beach doubles victories with partner Randy Stoklos, also a former UCLA letterman. Smith won six Manhattan Beach Open titles, four FIVB World Champion-ship crowns and was voted the AVP’s Best Defensive Player three times. Dave Saunders and Doug Partie teammed with Kiraly in the mid-1980s to help the U.S. Team capture its only Triple Crown: the 1985 World Cup crown, the1986 FIVB World Championship, in addition to the 1988 Olympic championship.

SALUTING UCLA’S OLYMPIANS


Pauley Pavilion is the home of UCLA’s championship volleyball, basketball and gymnastics teams. Th e site of the 1984 Olympic gymnastics competition where the U.S. men’s team earned a gold medal, Pauley Pavilion has been the host site for an unprecedented 14 NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championships (1970, ’71, ’75, ’77, ’79, ’84, ’85, ’87, ’89, ’93, ’96, ’99, ‘05 and 2013). In May 2018, UCLA will host its 15th NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship.

Championship history lives in this pavilion. From the rafters hang 11 NCAA championship banners won by the UCLA men’s basketball teams. UCLA volleyball teams have won nine of their 19 NCAA championships here, and the men’s gymnastics team captured national championships in this arena in 1984 and ’87. Th e Bruin women’s volleyball team earned two of its four NCAA titles on the Pauley hardwood. In the Spring of 2004, the women’s gymnastics team won its fi rst NCAA championship in Pauley.

Th e pavilion has hosted some of the largest collegiate volleyball crowds in history. In 1984, the men’s NCAA championship match between UCLA and Pepperdine drew 9,809 fans to set a collegiate record that stood for 15 years. Th e 1987 NCAA championship match between the Bruins and USC Trojans attracted 8,952 spectators, third largest in NCAA history. Th e 1993 NCAA fi nal between UCLA and CS Northridge drew 8,482 fans and the 1996 fi nal between the Bruins and Hawaii attracted 7,688 fans.

Renovation of the storied building began in the Spring of 2010 and was completed in October 2012. High-lights of the renovation and expansion include a new seating bowl, a retractable seating system on the event level that includes a new fl oor system and over 1,000 seats. Th e facility features a new center-hung HD video board and LED ribbon board. Th e renovation has allowed for additional points of sale for concession and an increased number of restroom.Th e building’s north side includes two large locker rooms with lounges and a fi lm room. Other amenities for the student-athletes include a sports medicine room, weight room, equipment room and storage. Th e Pavilion Club on the mezzanine of the same structure will serve the campus for numerous special events.UCLA dedicated the fl oor in Pauley Pavilion as “Nell and John Wooden Court” prior to a UCLA men’s basketball game against Michigan State on Dec. 20, 2003.
