Head Coach 9th Season at UCLA
Assistant Coach 6th Season at UCLA
Assistant Coach 3rd Season at UCLA
STAFF BIOS UCLA head men’s volleyball coach John Speraw, who has produced three NCAA titles and a 2016 Olympic Bronze medal finish as a head coach, is set to begin his ninth season at the helm in Westwood. During his collegiate coaching career he has been named the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Coach of the Year, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Coach of the Year and Volleyball Magazine Coach of the Year. In 2018, he was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Association Hall of Fame. Speraw was the first individual to win an NCAA MVB championship as a head coach (2007, 2009 and 2012 at UC Irvine), an assistant coach (1996, 1998, 2000 at UCLA) and as a player (1993 and 1995 at UCLA). He guided the Bruins into the National Championship match in 2018 and entered the 2021 season with a 348-190 overall collegiate record. Speraw achieved milestone wins No. 100 at UCLA and No. 300 overall during the 2018 campaign. In addition, he led UCLA to the NCAA Championship match that season and to the most program wins (26) since 2006. VolleyballMag.com recognized these achievements by naming Speraw its 2018 Coach of the Year. Voted the 2006 AVCA Coach of the Year, Speraw was named head coach at UCLA in June of 2012 and has tutored 41 All-Americans in his career. He came to UCLA from UC Irvine where he led the Anteaters to three NCAA titles, two Mountain Pacific Sports Federation regular season titles (2006, 2009) and a pair of MPSF Tournament crowns (2007, 2012). He guided UCI to a 199-106 record in ten seasons. Speraw has also enjoyed an extensive coaching resume with the U.S. Men’s National team. After serving as Assistant Coach for the 2008 (Gold in Beijing) and 2012 Olympic Games (advanced to the quarterfinals at London), Speraw was elevated to head coach of the U.S. Men’s Volleyball National Team in March of 2013. The U.S. qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games by winning the 2015 World Cup competition and went on to capture the Bronze medal at the Rio Games. In the summer of 2018, Speraw directed the U.S. Men’s National Team to its first FIVB World Championship medal in 24 years when it beat Serbia for the bronze in Turin, Italy. The U.S. men qualified for the Tokyo Games (to be held in 2021 due to the pandemic) by winning their Intercontinental Qualifying Pool during the summer of 2019. Bruins Micah Ma’a (at UCLA from 2016-19), Mitch Stahl (2014-17) and Garrett Muagututia (2007-10) represented their country in that competition and were also part of the U.S. silver and bronze medal-winning efforts at the FIVB Volleyball Nations League and FIVB World Cup, respectively. Speraw has coached UCLA to as high as No. 2 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) polls in six of the past seven seasons with the Bruins elevating to the top spot in the AVCA national rankings during the 2016 and 2014 seasons. The Bruin grad was named UCLA’s third head coach on June 5, 2012. He assumed the duties of his collegiate mentor, Al Scates, and has been a part of eight NCAA men’s volleyball championship teams (1993-player; 1995-player;1996-asst. coach; 1998-asst. coach; 2000asst. coach; 2007-head coach; 2009-head coach; 2012-head coach). For 10 seasons prior to his return to Westwood, 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 (2012, 2009, 2007) in his final six years and advanced to the NCAA Championship match a total of four times. UCI won two MPSF regular season titles and captured a couple of MPSF Tournament championships. He had the Anteaters ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in five different seasons. This past season, UCLA completed the virus-shortened campaign with a 10-9 mark. Daenan Gyimah earned first-team AVCA All-America honors for the third time and was selected the winner of the Ryan Millar Award as the nation’s top middle attacker for a third straight season. Setter Mads Kyed Jensen ranked fourth nationally in service aces per set (0.60) and was a finalist for the National Server of the Year award. The Bruin team rated third in the country in aces (1.9). Kyed Jensen and opposite Cole Ketrzynski were each picked to the Off the Block Freshman All-America team. In 2019, the Bruins utilized 13 different starting lineups while battling injuries to finish second in the MPSF standings. Setter Micah Ma’a became the all-time school leader in service aces while setting a single-season record with 64 aces. Ma’a and Gyimah each earned firstteam AVCA All-America honors for the second straight season. Gyimah won the Ryan Millar Award as the nation’s top middle attacker. Ma’a was named National Co-Server of the Year. In 2018, Speraw was named the VolleyballMag.com men’s college coach of the year after leading his team into the NCAA championship match. UCLA finished 26-8 on the year, recording the most wins by the program since the 2006 championship campaign. The Bruins, who finished second in the MPSF, avenged a loss in the league championship contest at BYU by sending the No. 2-seeded Cougars home in an NCAA semifinal match. Earlier in 2018, he secured a pair of milestone victories including his 100th win at UCLA (Penn St.) and his 300th career win as a head coach (Ohio State). The 14-1 start to the season was the best by a Bruin team since the 2005 squad opened with wins in 15 of its first 16 matches. UCLA earned the No. 2 spot in the final AVCA Coaches poll. Ma’a and Gyimah, who was named winner of the Ryan Millar Award, each merited first-team All-America honors. The Bruins battled injuries throughout the course of a streaky 2017 campaign. Jake Arnitz and Mitch Stahl went on to earn first-team All-MPSF honors. Arnitz was a second-team AVCA All-America pick for the second straight season. The squad ranked in the top four in the country in hitting percentage, kills per set, set assists per set and service aces per set. However, UCLA could not find consistency around a pair of seven-match win streaks during the season and finished fifth in the MPSF. The 2016 season saw UCLA return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since it had captured the 19th national title in the program’s history in 2006. The 25 wins were the most since that same season and the Bruins, who tied for second in the league during the regular season, advanced to the championship match of the MPSF Tournament and the national semifinals. Ma’a earned first-team AVCA All-America honors and Arnitz and Stahl were secondteam selections. UCLA spent four weeks at number one in the polls during the season. The 10-0 start to the season was the best since 1998. The Bruins ranked among the nation’s Top 10 in

STAFF BIOS aces/set, blocks/set, kills/set, set assists/set and hitting percentage. In 2015, Speraw guided a Bruin team which featured four freshmen starters. JT Hatch earned MPSF Freshman of the Year honors and second-team All-MPSF accolades. He was joined on the AllMPSF Freshman team by Arnitz. Trent Kersten posted the ninth-best hitting percentage mark in the NCAA. In 2014, Speraw’s Bruins peaked at No. 1 in the AVCA poll after winning the Outrigger Hotels Invitational and defeating then top-ranked Stanford. Injuries led to several lineup adjustments over the balance of the season and the team tied for fifth in the MPSF. Late wins down the stretch over Long Beach and BYU helped rally the team for post-season. However, the Bruins dropped a hard-fought fivesetter at UC Santa Barbara in the opening round of the league tournament. Three players earned AVCA All-America recognition - Gonzalo Quiroga - 1st team; Spencer Rowe and Robart Page - Honorable Mention. 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 first regular season match as coach at UCLA. Speraw guided the Bruins to an 21-11 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the rugged MPSF. Team accomplishments included a tournament championship at the Outrigger Hotels Invitational, league sweeps over rivals USC and Pepperdine and a first-round MPSF playoff victory — the Bruins’ first since 2006. Individually, UCLA produced a pair of AVCA All-Americans in first-team selection Quiroga and second-team choices Rowe and Evan Mottram. The three players also earned All-MPSF honors. In addition, Rowe became the first UCLA men’s volleyball player in 13 years to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. 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 previous three Olympics. The U.S. finished with an overall record of 6-4, including three wins over teams ranked among the top six in the world. Prior to his appointment as the USA’s head coach, Speraw enjoyed a wide variety of experience and success on the international level, including 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 finished fifth after winning its pool. Earlier that year, he returned as the assistant coach for the FIVB World League and filled in as head coach for the 2012 World League team for four oversees pool play matches. The 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, he worked with the U.S. men, as needed, including a stint as the head coach of a young team that finished fifth at the 2011 Pan American Games. In 2004, Speraw had 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 to qualify for the 2005 Championships. 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). In the collegiate ranks, Speraw directed UC Irvine to a 26-5 mark and their third NCAA Championship in 2012 before leaving to return to Westwood. In 2009, he guided UCI to a 27-5 overall record and finished the year ranked No. 1 in the country with the school’s second NCAA title. During the season, the Anteaters were ranked No. 1 for eight weeks, the most of any team in the nation that season. UC Irvine also captured the MPSF regular season title that year. In 2007, the Anteaters claimed their first national title, winning its initial MPSF tournament championship while ending the year with the No. 1 ranking and registering 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 was a finalist for National Coach of the Year three times while at UCI. In 2006, the Anteaters claimed their first-ever regular season MPSF title, finishing with a 20-2 league record. The team won a school-record 21 consecutive matches to end the regular season and held the top ranking in the nation for eight consecutive weeks. Speraw, who compiled a 199-106 (.652) overall record at UC Irvine, 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 (Jayson Jablonsky). UC Irvine players earned All-America distinction 21 times during Speraw’s tenure at UCI, including nine first-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 five different seasons at UCI, placed the Anteaters in the Top 10 of the final rankings all but one year while at the helm. 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 Influential People in the Newport/Costa Mesa Area. Speraw was on the Most Influential 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.

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 definitions of such statistics kept by member schools was not ensured until 1986. The format of a match changed in 2008. The term “game” was changed to “set.” In addition, scoring for those sets moved from 30 points to 25 points, except for the fifth set which is still played to 15. The match format previously changed in 2001, with scoring for each set moving from 15 points to 30 points, except for the fifth set. Official NCAA records began with the 1981 season. In 2011, individual season blocking categories were added for seasons since 2001. In reflection of those changes, categories under different scoring formats are separated to avoid eliminating the achievements of those student-athletes who played under the previous formats. With due respect to the legends of UCLA Men’s Volleyball, their names may not be listed because our records are incomplete in some early years.

RECORDS
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. The 19 titles for a single sport rank tied for 10th-most among all Division I programs (first is Oklahoma State wrestling which has captured 34 titles).
1979 - AT UCLA After a two-year title drought, the Bruins returned to the NCAA Championships on their home court unbeaten and primed to become collegiate volleyball’s first undefeated team. Despite dropping the first 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.
1970 - AT UCLA The Bruins won the first NCAA championship in Pauley Pavilion by surviving a round-robin tournament and easily sweeping Long Beach State in the final. The Bruins’ Dane Holtzman (MVP), and All-Tournament selections Kirk Kilgour and Ed Becker gave coach Al Scates the first of 19 title trophies.
1971 - AT UCLA Again UCLA played host and repeated as champion. The Bruins, despite an easy victory in their first match, survived the tough round-robin pool play format where they were extended to three games twice. In the finals, UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara in three games. Kirk Kilgour ended a brilliant UCLA career by sharing Co-MVP honors with the Gauchos’ Tim Bonynge. The Bruins’ Larry Griebenow and Ed Machado were All-Tournament selections.
1981 - AT UC SANTA BARBARA UCLA overcame injuries to win Joe Mica earned NCAA All-Tournament Team honors a five-game match against arch in 1979. rival USC. The Trojans led 5-1 and 9-7 in the fifth 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. The victory avenged the previous year’s four-game loss to USC in the finals at Ball State.
1972 - AT BALL STATE The Bruins won their third consecutive title as heavy underdogs to San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara at Ball State. The Bruins, who received an at-large bid, were routed by SDSU in round-robin play, but an upset against UCSB gave them a final match showdown against the Aztecs. SDSU appeared ready for a three-game sweep, winning the first 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.
1982 - AT PENN STATE Ranked No. 1 and undefeated, the Bruins entered the NCAA Tournament as heavy favorites. UCLA swept Ohio State in the semifinals. The 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 STATE Despite losing three of their first 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. The Waves won the wildcard spot, setting the stage for another UCLA-Pepperdine battle. In the semifinals, UCLA cruised to a threegame victory over Ohio State, and the Waves obliged by beating Penn State. In the final, UCLA dominated play at the net and limited the Waves to a .099 hitting percentage. The three-game sweep gave coach Al Scates his 10th NCAA title, tying him with John Wooden. Ricci Luyties was voted Most Outstanding Player and Wally Martin, Doug Partie and Steve Gulnac joined him on the All-Tournament Team.
1974 - AT UC SANTA BARBARA UC 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 John Zajec was a member of UCLA’s first the Gauchos ahead 6-1 in the fifth game, three NCAA title teams and earned NCAA Scates inserted seldom-used freshman All-Tournament honors in 1972. Sabin Perkins, who served six straight points, including three aces, to reverse the momentum and give UCLA its fourth championship in five years. UCLA’s Bob Leonard was named MVP, and Mike Normand and Jim Menges were named to the All-Tournament squad.
1984 - AT UCLA Several 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. The 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.
1975 - AT UCLA UC 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 final match performance from MVP John Bekins and fine 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 STATE Down 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. The Bruins went on to easily win Games 2 and 3 and their sixth title of the decade.

1987 - AT UCLA
1996 - AT UCLA
The Bruins stormed into the NCAA Tournament with all the advantages: a 25-match winning streak, a No. 1 seeding, two weeks of rest, the country’s best record, the home court crowd and a wealth of tradition. In typical Al Scates fashion, UCLA breezed past Ohio State in the semifinals, while USC needed five games to outlast a tough Penn State team. A crowd of 8,952, third largest in collegiate volleyball 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 finishing 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.
The improbable championship proved one of the most exciting and gratifying for coach Al Scates. “This 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 five-game, three-hour and twenty-seven minute final against Hawaii, the preseason favorite. The 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.
1989 - AT UCLA The Bruins were hosts for the 20th annual tournament, featuring a final 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 first title match. In the semifinals, the Bruins swept Penn State, while the Cardinal got a scare from Ball State before winning in four. In the final, 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.
1998 - AT HAWAI’I The Bruins saved their best for last in winning for Scates a record-breaking 17th title. After outlasting Lewis University 3-2 in the semifinals, the final against Pepperdine on a hostile court proved to be a match of veterans vs. inexperience. With five of six starters boasting NCAA championship match experience, the Bruins cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Waves, who claimed just Kevin Wong earned NCAA All-Tournament honors as one starter with previous champi- a sophomore in 1993. onship experience. Scates saved his best game plan for the final, 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 five blocks, was named Most Outstanding Player. Setter Brandon Taliaferro and outside hitter Fred Robins also were named to the All-Tournament Team.
1993 - AT UCLA UCLA ended a three-year championship drought by sweeping Ohio State in the semifinals and upstart Cal State Northridge in the finals. The 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 finals 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 Roger Clark earned NCAA All-Tournahonors. Senior Dan Landry and sophomore ment honors in 1984. Kevin Wong also were voted to the NCAA All-Tournament Team. The 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, MA The championship returned to volleyball’s birthplace and the kingpin of the sport reclaimed its crown. Following the second-place finish to Penn State the previous year, UCLA’s four fifth-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 semifinals. Revenge also served as the major motivation against Penn State. The Bruins swept them in the finals to restore order to the collegiate volleyball 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.

2000 - AT IPFW This championship was all about avenging past demons. The 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 first round of the 1999 league playoffs. Senior setter Brandon Taliaferro guided UCLA to a pair of sweeps over Penn State in the semifinals and Ohio State in the finals. Against OSU, the Bruins hit .459 for the match, served eight aces, and out-blocked the Buckeyes, 12-6. Senior Evan Thatcher 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. The turning point in the match came in Game 3 when senior Ed Ratledge rallied the Bruins from a 13-8 deficit by serving two points, including an ace. Taliaferro earned Most Outstanding Player honors and seniors Seth Burnham and Thatcher were named to the All-Tournament Team.
2006 - AT PENN STATE On March 17, the Bruins rallied to defeat USC 3-2 to win the Kilgour Cup. The 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 quarterfinals, 3-0 vs. Pepperdine in the league semifinals and 3-1 vs. Long Beach State in the MPSF championship match. The Bruins buried IPFW 3-0 in the NCAA semifinals 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 eightpoint deficit in Game 2 to win their second NCAA title at Penn State (the first 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. The Bruins’ 26-12 overall record represented the most losses by a national champion. The Bruins celebrate their 19th Men’s Volleyball National Championship after defeating Penn State in 2006.

#20 • DOUG PARTIE: QH 6-6 Santa Barbara, Calif. • Dos Pueblos HS
#45 • DENNY CLINE: MB 6-3 Newport Beach, Calif. • Newport Harbor HS
Doug Partie played alongside Ricci Luyties and formed an unbeatable combination. The 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-conference and All-America selection. On the U.S. National Team, he won a gold medal in 1988 and a bronze in 1992. He played professionally in the prestigious Italian League for two seasons and earned league allstar 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. Doug was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2017. Partie’s son Kendall also played volleyball at UCLA.
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’ first 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).
#22 • SINJIN SMITH: S 6-3 Santa Monica, Calif. • Loyola HS
#29 • STEVE SALMONS: H/MB 6-4 Pacific Palisades, Calif. • Palisades HS
Sinjin Smith began his UCLA career in 1976 with an NCAA title and finished it by leading the Bruins to their first undefeated season in 1979, for which he was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Smith was a three-time all-conference player, twotime 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. The 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 qualified for the Olympic beach competition and advanced to the semifinals before losing in an epic battle to eventual gold medalists Karch Kiraly and Kent Steffes. In August 2001, Smith retired from the game at the Manhattan Open, a tournament he had won five times. Today, he serves as an ambassador for the game and administrator for the FIVB. Sinjin was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2017. Smith’s oldest son Hagen played on the UCLA team from 2014-17.
Steve Salmons was a three-time All-American, who was selected the Player of the Year in 1978. In 1979, he played on the first undefeated volleyball 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. Salmons was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in May of 2018. His son, Reece, joined the men’s volleyball team at UCLA for the 2017 season.
#43 • LARRY RUNDLE: 6-1 Detroit, Mich. • Santa Monica HS #54 • ERNIE SUWARA: 6-2 New York, N. Y. •
#11 • RICCI LUYTIES: S 6-5 Pacific Palisades, Calif. • Palisades HS Ricci Luyties played for the Bruins from 1981-84 and finished every season with a national championship ring. During two of those seasons, 1982 and 1984, the Bruins went undefeated. They 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. He was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2017.
Larry Rundle and Ernie Suwara 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 championship teams, also played on the U.S. Pan American and World Games teams and was a five-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. Both players were inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in May of 2018.

#13 • KIRK KILGOUR: QH 6-5 Manhattan Beach, Calif. • Mira Costa HS
• MIKE O’HARA: QH 6-4 Santa Monica, Calif. • Santa Monica HS
Kirk Kilgour was the first 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’ first 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, working several Olympiads. In 1977, Dr. Paul Berns and Al Scates organized the Kilgour Cup in his honor, and the benefit match continued for 35 years. Kilgour died July 10, 2002 but his legacy continues in a book — Lucky Break — written by his former fiancee, Belinda Begley. He was inducted into the SoCal Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in the Class of 2019.
Mike O’Hara, an outstanding outside hitter, was a UCLA pioneer in the sport and was instrumental in making volleyball a varsity sport at UCLA. In 1953, with Athletic Director Wilbur Johns’ permission, O’Hara’s championship fraternity volleyball team represented UCLA and won the National Collegiate Championship in Omaha, Nebraska. The 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 tournaments and was named USVBA MVP in 1961 and ‘63. O’Hara and teammate Mike Bright dominated beach tournaments in the 1960s, winning the first five 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. Additionally, 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. He was inducted into the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2017.
#24 • ASBJORN VOLSTAD: QH 6-4 Forde, Norway • Recruited entirely from a videotape, Asbjorn (Ozzie) Volstad 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 captured 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.
#5 • STEIN METZGER: S 6-4 Honolulu, Hawai’i. • Punahou School Stein Metzger 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 five UCLA single season marks in set assists. He was named firstteam 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 finished fifth. Metzger is currently serving as UCLA’s beach volleyball coach and led his squad to the 2018 and 2019 NCAA Championships.
#31 • KARCH KIRALY: S 6-3 Santa Barbara, Calif. • Santa Barbara HS Considered America’s greatest volleyball player, Karch Kiraly 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 Springfield, 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 influential person in the sport’s first 100 years.

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 competition in Atlanta. His 148 career open beach victories and his career winnings of more than $3 million rank first on the all-time lists.

#15 • DANNY FARMER: QH 6-4 Los Angeles, Calif. • Loyola HS
#10 • PAUL NIHIPALI: OPP 6-7 Yorba Linda, Calif. • Esperanza HS
A two-sport star, Danny Farmer excelled on both the gridiron and the volleyball court and was inducted in the Class of 2015. He started his career as a walk-on on the scout team for football and finished as UCLA’s all-time leader in receiving yards with 3,020. Farmer became the first freshman in school history to lead the team in receptions, and he earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors as a sophomore in 1997. During his junior year in 1998, he earned first-team All-Pac-10 acclaim after setting a school record with 1,274 receiving yards and averaging 106.2 yards per game. During his senior season, he was named a preseason All-American and a UCLA team captain and won the Red Sanders Award as the team’s Offensive MVP. He also earned a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and won the Pac-10 Conference Medal. Farmer was drafted in the fourth round of the 2000 NFL Draft and played three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Farmer was just as prodigious in volleyball, helping lead UCLA to NCAA Championships in 1996 and 1998 and earning All-America honors in 1999. He played a big role in UCLA’s 1998 NCAA semifinal victory, coming off the bench to ignite a 19-point rally that turned the match around and finishing with a season-high 26 kills and four blocks. During his senior season, he was amongst the nation’s leaders in attack percentage, hitting .444. Farmer joins his father George, a 2000 inductee, in the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.
Paul Nihipali, a four-time All-American was inducted in the Class of 2015 after finishing his career as UCLA volleyball’s all-time kills leader with 2,096 and is still the only Bruin ever to surpass 2,000 career kills. He also holds school records for most kills in a single match (52) and in a season (650 in 1997), as well as career kills per game (5.40).

AL SCATES’ CAREER COACHING RECORD Conf. National Year Record Finish Finish*
#50 • AL SCATES: OH/COACH • Santa Monica, Calif. • Westchester HS Considered one of the greatest collegiate coaches in history, Al Scates was the architect of a men’s volleyball program that won USA Volleyball Collegiate Championships in 1965 and 1967 and helped volleyball become an NCAA Championship sport in 1970. Scates won 19 NCAA championships, 24 conference titles, produced three undefeated seasons and won more than 1,200 matches in 50 seasons at UCLA. 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 19 NCAA titles in 37 years ---- 1970-71-72-74-75-76-79-81-8283-84-87-89-93-95-96-98-2000 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 first active coach to be inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame (2003). He was also enshrined in the SoCal Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame (2017), the CIF Los Angeles City Hall of Fame (2013), the AVCA Hall of Fame (2004), the California Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame (1998) and the first active coach to be inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame (1993). In addition, he was also given the 2003 UCLA Alumni Assn. Award for Professional Achievement. In 2012, he was presented with the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Gil Stratton Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2002, Al was named USA Volleyball Men’s All-Era Coach and in 2018 was recognized as the Pac-12 Volleyball Coach of the Century. 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 25-0 in NCAA semifinals and 19-6 in NCAA Championship matches. His NCAA Tournament match record in Pauley Pavilion is 25-1. 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 and led the U.S. Men’s National Team to the bronze medal in the Rio Olympic Games. 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. Michael Sealy (UCLA ‘93) guided the UCLA women’s team to an NCAA Championship in 2011. Stein Metzger (UCLA ‘96) led UCLA to its first NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship in 2018. 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 first 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 Championship 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 title, the1986 FIVB World Championship, in addition to the 1988 Olympic championship.

PAULEY PAVILION RECORD Pauley Pavilion, presented by Wescom, is the home of UCLA’s championship volleyball, basketball and gymnastics teams. The 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 15 NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championships (1970, ’71, ’75, ’77, ’79, ’84, ’85, ’87, ’89, ’93, ’96, ’99, ‘05, ‘13 and 2018). Championship history lives in this pavilion. From the rafters hang 11 NCAA championship banners won by the UCLA men’s basketball teams. UCLA men’s volleyball teams have won nine of their 19 NCAA championships here, and the men’s gymnastics team captured national championships in the arena in 1984 and ’87. The 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 first NCAA championship in Pauley. The 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. The 1987 NCAA championship match between the Bruins and USC Trojans attracted 8,952 spectators. The 1993 NCAA final between UCLA and CSUN drew 8,482 fans and the 1996 final between the Bruins and Hawaii attracted 7,688 fans. Over 7,000 fans were on hand for the 2018 championship. Renovation of the storied building began in the Spring of 2010 and was completed in October 2012. Highlights of the renovation and expansion include a new seating bowl, a retractable seating system on the event level that includes a new floor system and over 1,000 seats. The facility features a new center-hung HD video board and LED ribbon board. The renovation has allowed for additional points of sale for concession and an increased number of restrooms. The North side of the building includes two large locker rooms with lounges and a film room. Other amenities for the student-athletes include a sports medicine room, weight room, equipment room and storage. The Pavilion Club on the mezzanine of the same structure will serve the campus for numerous special events. UCLA dedicated the floor in Pauley Pavilion as “Nell and John Wooden Court” prior to a UCLA men’s basketball game against Michigan State on Dec. 20, 2003.
