STEIN

In 2017, the Bruins picked up a lot of firsts, but none were larger than knocking off crosstown rival No. 1 USC in the semifinals of the Pac-12 Championship. UCLA also posted its first-ever win over then-No. 2 Florida State, 3-2, in the final game of the Inaugural East Meets West Challenge, hosted by UCLA at legendary Manhattan Beach Pier in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Along the way, UCLA finished with a then-school-record 30 wins compared to just six defeats and won a then-school-record 24 consecutive duals, finishing second at the Pac-12 Championship.

METZGER Head Coach 9th Season at UCLA 160-43 (.788) UCLA ‘96

In 2016, the Bruins finished third at the inaugural NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship in Gulf Shores, Ala. UCLA ended the season with a 22-8 overall record, including going 3-2 at NCAA’s, defeating 8th-seeded Stetson (3-2), 3rd-seeded Pepperdine (3-2) and 5thseeded Hawai’i (3-0). The Bruins fell in the elimination bracket to No. 1 Florida State (3-1). Beach volleyball saw several changes in 2015, when UCLA announced that Coach Metzger would leave his duties as assistant indoor coach to focus solely on beach. In addition, the Pac-12 Conference announced during the summer of 2015 that beach volleyball would become a Pac-12 sponsored sport effective the 2016 season. Additionally, the NCAA officially sponsored its first national championship in 2016.

Stein Metzger, the 2017 and 2018 Pac-12 Coach of the Year and the 2017 and 2018 USMC/AVCA National Coach of the Year, enters his ninth season as the UCLA Beach Volleyball Head Coach in 2021 after guiding UCLA to back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2018 (40-4) and in 2019 (35-3). He also led UCLA to a 13-2 mark in a shortened 2020 campaign with the Bruins ranked No. 2 in the final AVCA poll of the year and two wins over USC early in the year.

The Pac-12’s adoption of beach volleyball made it the league’s 23rd sport and the first major conference to sponsor beach volleyball. Eight member institutions currently sponsor beach volleyball, well above the conference threshold of six. In a related decision, beach volleyball had a Pac-12 Championship beginning in the spring of 2016.

The Bruins’ three losses in 2019 were all to USC by a score of 3-2. But seeded No. 2 for the NCAA Championship after the Trojans won the Pac-12 Championship, UCLA used it as fuel to the fire and defeated top-seeded USC in the NCAA title match, 3-0, without dropping a single set. The Bruins had four All-Americans for the first time in school history in 2019 as Megan and Nicole McNamara from court one and Sarah Sponcil and Lily Justine from court two were all honored by the AVCA. Additionally, the McNamara twins became the first tandem in the history of the NCAA to earn first team All-America honors all four years.

The 40 wins in 2018 were a school and NCAA record for a single season. UCLA also won a school-record 31 consecutive duals during the 2018 campaign and won its first-ever Pac-12 Conference Championship, defeating the defending champions USC twice on the same day to win the title. The Bruins beat the best all season long with 33 of their 40 victories coming in wins over nationally-ranked teams and going 5-1 on the year against the defending NCAA Champions, USC. Additionally, all four losses on the year were to teams ranked in the top four. A U.S. Olympian and UCLA Hall of Famer, Metzger enters the 2021 season with an overall record of 160-43 (.788) and has gone 118-15 (.887) in the last four seasons (2017-20).

COACHING STAFF In 2004, Metzger earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Beach Volleyball team, finishing in fifth with partner Dax Holdren. A year prior, the duo won the silver medal at the 2003 Beach Volleyball World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Metzger also has two international titles to his credit with Wong in 2001 and ‘02, as well as a Bronze medal at the ‘01 Goodwill Games.

Metzger completed his third season with the UCLA women’s indoor volleyball staff in 2014, his second as an assistant coach, while serving as a volunteer coach in 2012. Metzger has guided UCLA Beach Volleyball since its inaugural season in the spring of 2013. The Bruins have been ranked in the Top 10 throughout each of their first seven campaigns. Debuting the sand team competitively just two months after the sport was added to UCLA’s athletic program, Metzger guided Kelly Reeves to the program’s first sand All-America award in 2013, while two pairs (Reeves and Meg Norton and Zoë Nightingale and Becca Strehlow) each made the AVCA National Championships.

In addition to his collegiate coaching accolades, Metzger has trained U.S., French and Israeli National Beach teams. He has also coached with the USA Volleyball Elite Development Program. A 1996 graduate of UCLA with a degree in environmental studies, Metzger was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009. Metzger and his wife, Emily, live in Redondo Beach with their daughter, Quinn, and son, Otto.

Over the first three seasons of Bruin sand volleyball, Metzger, who is one of UCLA’s NCAArecord 13 Beach Volleyball Olympians, led the program to 20 dual wins (10 in 2015) and coached three sets of pairs’ teams to the AVCA National Championships, including Zoë Nightingale and Kamila Tan in 2015.The fast-growing discipline became an NCAA-sponsored sport in 2016, the first year an NCAA Championship was awarded in beach volleyball. In the first two years, members of the Bruin indoor team populated the beach roster, but the 2015 campaign brought the first-ever sand-only players. Metzger returned to his alma mater as a coach, having played on the Bruin men’s team from 1993-96 and winning three National Championships. Metzger, who was a teammate of current head coach Michael Sealy on the ‘93 title-winning squad, is second all-time in UCLA history in assists (5,158) and sixth in aces (110).

Metzger’s Career Coaching Record Year Overall Record 2013 3-7 2014 7-8 2015 10-5 2016 22-8 2017 30-6 2018 40-4 2019 35-3 2020 13-2 Totals (8 yrs) 160-43 (.788)

He went on to win two more National Championships in 1995 and ‘96, getting named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team both times. Metzger earned AVCA First-Team All-America and ASICS/Volleyball Magazine All-America honors both seasons, while earning AVCA CoPlayer of the Year accolades as a team captain during his senior campaign. He was also named to the all-conference team three times, including First Team in ‘96. Following his days in Westwood, Metzger competed professionally on the AVP Tour, winning 16 times with partners Kevin Wong (two times), Jake Gibb (four), Mike Lambert (nine) and Mark Williams (one). Metzger was twice a part of the AVP Team of the Year with Gibb (‘05) and Lambert (‘06), ranking as the Tour’s top player both seasons. He earned the Crocs Cup title in 2006.

Associate Head Coach Eighth Season UCLA ‘96

Johnson Jordan has been a High Performance Coach for USA Volleyball and is also USAV Beach Cap Certified. In 2012, she became the first beach volleyball coach at her alma mater, Windward High School, and that year was also the head coach for the LAVA girls club volleyball beach program.

Former Bruin standout and Olympian Jenny Johnson Jordan returned to Westwood and is in her eighth season with the UCLA beach volleyball program in 2021. Johnson Jordan served the first seven years as an assistant coach and was promoted to associate head coach on July 13, 2020.

Johnson Jordan, who graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s in communications in 1996, comes from a rich tradition of Bruins and athletic pedigree. Her father, Rafer, was an Olympic Gold medalist in the Decathlon in 1960 and a Silver medalist in that event in 1956. Her mother, Betsy, also attended UCLA, as did her brother Josh, a former javelin thrower, and uncle Jimmy, a former football player who went on to a career with the San Francisco 49ers and is a member of the NFL Hall of Fame.

Johnson Jordan then helped the Bruins win back-to-back NCAA titles on May 5, 2019 (35-3) and was named the AVCA National Assistant Beach Coach of the Year on May 9, 2019.

Johnson Jordan is married to former UCLA All-American wide receiver Kevin Jordan (class of ‘95). The couple have two children, Jaylen and Kory.

She played in 127 matches and 406 sets in her four seasons, recording 1,212 kills and 1,214 digs, ranking as one of 12 Bruins to post at least 1,000 career kills and digs. Johnson Jordan, who sits eighth in school history in digs and 21st in kills, also had 93 service aces and 225 blocks. She led the Bruins in aces in 1993 and 1995, as well as digs in 1995. Johnson Jordan earned a pair of Volleyball Magazine All-American Honorable Mention accolades in 1994 and ‘95. She was also a two-time All-Pac-10 Conference First Team honoree (‘93 and ‘95) and a two-time Pac-10 All-Academic selection. Following her playing days at UCLA, Johnson Jordan played on the beach, competing in the sport’s grandest stage. In 2000, with partner and former Bruin Annett (Buckner)

JOSE

LOIOLA Volunteer Assistant Coach First Season

UCLA head women’s beach volleyball coach Stein Metzger announced on Jan. 5, 2021, the hiring of beach volleyball Hall of Famer Jose Loiola as the Bruins’ volunteer assistant coach effective immediately. He will be in his first season in 2021. While this is Loiola’s first collegiate post, he has been coaching some of the world’s youngest and brightest stars for over a decade. He is currently coaching emerging stars on both the men’s and women’s professional tours. Under his tutelage, Tri Bourne and Trevor Crabb placed third overall in the 2020 AVP Champions Cup Series and won The Porsche Cup in August. On the women’s side, he also coached Sara Hughes and Brandie Wilkerson to a third-place overall finish in the 2020 AVP Champions Cup Series with a best finish of second at The Wilson Cup in July.

Jose Loiola won four AVP Offensive Player of the Year Awards (1995-98).

“I am thrilled to have Jose join our staff,” Metzger said. “He is one of the greatest beach volleyball players of all time and is now coaching some of the top teams on the professional scene. His experience, knowledge and passion are unrivaled and I know the team will benefit tremendously from his mentorship. As a student at UCLA, and later on the professional tour, I looked up to Jose and learned a great deal from his play. I now look forward to learning more from one of the masters in the game.” Loiola got his start working with professional athletes in 2014 when he coached UCLA’s Jeremy Casebeer and Casey Jennings out of BYU. He mentored three different teams in 2015, highlighted by the duo of Theo Brunner and Nick Lucena, who placed fourth at the FIVB World Championship. Also in 2015, he coached the tandem of Irene (Hester) Pollock and Caitlin Ledoux. Pollock would later help guide the Bruins to their second straight NCAA Championship in 2019 as the volunteer assistant coach.

2018 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

#116 GULF SHORES, Ala. – The top-seeded UCLA beach volleyball team made history Sunday, winning the first NCAA Championship in program history. UCLA defeated fourth-seeded Florida State, 3-1, avenging a Friday loss to the Seminoles that put the Bruins one loss away from elimination. They proceeded to win four matches in two days, capped by Sunday’s triumph, which gave UCLA its 116th overall NCAA Championship. The Bruins won 35 of its final 36 matches to complete their historic season with a 40-4 overall record. The 40 wins represent a single-season NCAA record, previously set by USC last year (38). The Seminoles dropped to 33-7. The win marked UCLA’s first over Florida State in an NCAA Championship setting, with the Bruins having been eliminated by the Seminoles in 2016 and 2017. Returning to the flight format used throughout the regular season, pairs 4 and 5 took to the sand first. In their first action since Saturday’s semifinal, the Seminoles got off to a hot start, claiming each first set. The Bruins would not go quietly, however, as each tandem recovered to force a first-to-15 third set. The 2018 NCAA Champions won UCLA’s 116th NCAA title with a 3-1 victory over Florida State.

UCLA’s No. 5 pair of Izzy Carey and Megan Muret posted a dramatic 24-22 second-set victory and rode its newfound momentum to a 17-21, 24-22, 15-8 win over Madison Fitzpatrick and Francesca Goncalves to get the Bruins on the board first. The Florida State duo of Molly McBain-Brooke Kuhlman would soon make it a best-of-three affair, though, pulling the Seminoles even with a 21-15, 19-21, 15-12 defeat of Elise Zappia-Mac May in a battle of No. 4 pairs. The top three courts came out determined in the second flight, sweeping the first sets to put the Bruins on the brink of history. UCLA’s Court 3 team of Zana Muno and Savvy Simo grabbed their opportunity with a convincing

win over Macy Jerger-Sara Putt, 21-19, 21-9, to inch the Bruins one step closer. With both Courts 1 and 2 on match point, the duo of Sarah Sponcil-Lily Justine played the part of hero. The second-court pair knocked off Katie Horton-Hailey Luke of the Seminoles, 21-18, 21-19, setting off a storming of the court in celebration. The pairs of Nicole McNamara-Megan McNamara (Court 1) and Izzy Carey-Megan Muret (Court 5) were selected to the All-Tournament Team.
