Mitch Haly, a 6-7 middle blocker from Corona del Mar (Calif.) High, earned 2017 prep All-American honors and was the All-CIF Division 1 Player of the Year, but a back injury could slow him in 2018.

Chris has a maturity and high volleyball IQ that raises the level of our team’s play each day. Cole has benefited from international competition and brings great experience despite his youth.

USC has attained those feats despite playing in America’s toughest conference. The MPSF, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018, has been reconfigured this season into a 7-team league. Six schools departed for the Big West, leaving USC, UCLA, Stanford, Pepperdine and BYU along with new members Concordia and Grand Canyon. “USC always has the ability to win a national championship,” said Nygaard, who is aided by fulltime assistants Gary Sato and Todd Hollenbeck and volunteer assistant Brian Schirripa. “The league we play in prepares us for that. Even though the MPSF now has a new look, the league is still full of top tier teams, which means we will face strong competition in every match.” In addition to its 12 MPSF contests, Troy’s 2018 schedule features early season appearances at the Texaco Rainbow Warrior Classic at Hawaii and the AVCA Showcase at UCLA (site of the 2018 NCAA tourney), where it will face defending NCAA champ Ohio State and Penn State. The Trojans also will battle some of their former MPSF foes now in the Big West, including Long Beach State, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara.

IN MEMORIAM ERNIE HIX 1936-2016 "THE FATHER OF USC MEN'S VOLLEYBALL" Ernie Hix, known as “The Father of USC Men’s Volleyball” after building the program in its early years as head coach and guiding the Trojans to their first 2 NCAA championships, died of malignant melanoma on June 4, 2016, in Alta Loma, Calif. He was 80. During his 8-year (1974-81) tenure at USC, Hix not only won NCAA titles in 1977 and 1980 and finished as runner-up in 1979 and 1981, but he laid the foundation of the nascent Trojan program and fostered its development into a national power. He won 73.8% of his matches at USC, with an overall record of 138-49. Among the All-American players he coached at USC were Tim Hovland, Dusty Dvorak, Steve Timmons, Celso Kalache, Bob Yoder, Pat Powers and Bill Stetson. Dvorak, Timmons, Kalache and Powers were Olympians. In 1977, midway through Hix’s head coaching tenure at USC, the university started awarding athletic scholarships in men’s volleyball. From 1971 to 1973, Hix served as USC’s assistant coach. A 1958 graduate of USC who played on the 1955 Trojan freshman basketball team and on the varsity in 1956, Hix was a member of a pair of Hollywood (Calif.) High’s Los Angeles City finalist basketball squads. He was founder and president of Hix Homes and Hix Development Corp., a residential homebuilder and land developer in Southern California, from 1963 to 2009. He served in leadership roles in the residential construction industry, including as president of the Building Industry Association Baldy View Chapter in 1992 and then president of the Building Industry Association of Southern California. He also owned and operated assisted living facilities in Southern California since 2002. In fact, Hix passed away at Sunlit Gardens in Alta Loma, an assisted living facility that he developed.

2018 USC MEN’S VOLLEYBALL HISTORY
AN ERA OF EXCELLENCE Since volleyball scholarships were first awarded at USC in 1976-77, the USC men’s and women’s teams have combined to become a dominant force in the sport. The men have captured 4 national titles and played in 14 Final Fours in the last 41 years, while the women have won 6 national crowns and played in 12 Final Fours since 1976. The men have a winning percentage of .613 in that span (758-478), while the women are at .741 (978-341-4). 1976-77: After the Trojan women won the national title in the fall of 1976, the men made it a USC sweep when they won the NCAA championship in the spring. The Trojans finished 18-1 with a team that included future Olympians Celso Kalache and Dusty Dvorak, and future coach Bob Yoder. This was the year that volleyball scholarships were first awarded at USC. 1977-78: Though the women won their second straight national crown, the men fell short of a second straight title when they were stopped by Long Beach State in the NCAA regionals and finished 14-7. 1978-79: Ernie Hix’s squad rebounded to reach the Final Four again, where Troy downed Rutgers-Newark but fell to host UCLA in the final. USC began the season with wins in its first eight matches and finished 23-5 overall. 1979-80: The Trojans avenged the previous season’s NCAA final loss to UCLA by beating the Bruins in the title game this time. Tim Hovland, Dusty Dvorak and Pat Powers all were named first team All-Americans as the Trojans won their second NCAA crown in four years. Troy was 22-6 overall. 1980-81: For the third straight year and the fourth time in five seasons, the Trojans made an appearance in the NCAA title match. Their bid for a second straight crown fell short, though, when UCLA won in five games, the fifth 15-13. The Trojans were 21-5 overall in Ernie Hix’s last season as coach, winning the California Intercollegiate Volleyball Association title along the way. USC’s women won the national title that season. 1981-82: Under new head coach Bob Yoder, himself a former player at Troy, USC reached the Final Four for the fourth straight year. Though the Trojans were stunned by host Penn State in the semifinals, Yoder’s first team still finished 22-10 overall and third in the nation. The Women of Troy, meanwhile, captured a second straight national championship. 1982-83: USC found itself in the unusual position of rebuilding, and for the first time in the decade failed to make the NCAA Tournament, finishing the season 14-13. The Trojan women were second in the country. 1983-84: USC rebounded from its mediocre 1983 season, winning its first six matches en route to a 29-13 overall mark. Only a loss in the finals of the NCAA Western Regional kept the Trojans from another Final Four trip. 1984-85: After a two-year hiatus, the Trojans returned to the Final Four and finished second in the nation. First team All-Americans Bill Yardley and Adam Johnson led USC to a 28-9 record and a spot in the NCAA title game, where Troy was stopped by Pepperdine, 15-13, in the match’s deciding game. 1985-86: After the Women of Troy finished third nationally, Yoder’s squad began its season with a loss at UCLA in the Kilgour Cup, then ran off 27 straight victories, including an unprecedented 20 without a blemish in the CIVA. Only a heartbreaking five-game loss to Pepperdine in the closest NCAA final ever (the fifth and deciding game was 16-14) kept the Trojans from a national title in a 27-2 season. College Player of the Year Adam Johnson led Troy, which was in the Final Four for the seventh time in 10 years. 1986-87: For the third year in a row, USC was the NCAA runner-up, losing in the final to UCLA (no other school in the country had been to the Final Four each of those years). Featuring 3-time All-American Adam Johnson and second team All-American Dave Yoder (the coach's brother), USC’s 29 victories (29-11) equalled a school season record. 1987-88: After three straight second-place finishes in the NCAA tourney, USC won the national championship (the school’s third). The Trojans set a school victory record by going 34-4 and were led by the likes of College Player of the Year Tom Duke, All-American Jen-Kai Liu, College Freshman of the Year Bryan Ivie and third team All-American Chris Martz. The Women of Troy, after a year layoff, advanced into the NCAA tourney. 1988-89: For the first time in 5 years, USC didn’t advance to the NCAA Final Four. The Trojans, 28-11 overall, finished tied for fourth in the WIVA and lost to Stanford in the NCAA regional. Although all but one player returned from the 1988 NCAA titlists, injuries to 3 starters hampered Troy’s hopes.
1989-90: Although it lost in the semifinals of the WIVA Tournament, USC was selected to an NCAA tourney berth ... and made the most of it. The Trojans, 26-7 overall, won their fourth NCAA title. Under the guidance of firstyear coach Jim McLaughlin, USC’s senior-less team was led by College Player of the Year Bryan Ivie, second team All-Americans Dan Greenbaum and Kevin Shepard, and Freshman All-American Jason Perkins. The women also had a new coach, Lisa Love, who led them into the NCAA playoffs. 1990-91: USC spent all year ranked No. 1 nationally and had a schoolrecord 30-match win streak en route to a 34-2 record (tying the Trojan season win mark), but Troy lost in the NCAA final to Long Beach State. USC, the nation’s top hitting team, lost only 21 games. Bryan Ivie won College Player of the Year honors again and Dan Greenbaum was a first team All-American. 1991-92: For the first time since scholarships were awarded in the sport at USC (1977), the young (no seniors, four frosh/soph starters) Trojans finished with a sub-.500 record (11-13). It was USC’s fewest wins since 1976. The Women of Troy, however, went 23-8 to advance into the NCAAs. 1992-93: For the second consecutive year, USC didn’t advance to the NCAA Final Four (only the second such two-year occurence since scholarships were awarded in the sport at Troy in 1977). But the Trojans were improved, posting an 18-12 overall mark. Sophomore Jason Mulholland, who set NCAA records for most kills in a match (55) and highest kill average in a season (7.67), was a second team All-American, while Jason Perkins closed out his career with USC’s highest all-time hitting percentage (.430). USC’s women went 21-9 and were an NCAA tourney team. 1993-94: USC started off 10-0 and ranked No. 2 nationally, but leveled off to finish with a 17-7 NCAA mark (23-8 overall). It was the first time in the school’s scholarship-era history that it went three years without a Final Four visit. Jason Mulholland and Chris Underwood were first team All-Americans. The Women of Troy, 22-9 overall, advanced to the NCAA second round. 1994-95: USC — with just one senior — began the season at 11-5, but won just five of its next 17 matches to finish at 16-17 overall (11-14 NCAA). USC’s women went 22-8 and made it to the NCAA regional finals. 1995-96: For the first time since 1983, USC didn’t qualify for a berth in the conference tournament. The Trojans were 14-16 overall (10-12 NCAA). The Women of Troy were 18-9 and advanced to the NCAA regional semis. 1996-97: Pat Powers — the one-time USC All-American, Olympic gold medalist and pro beach star — took over as Troy’s head coach. He guided the Trojans to an 18-14 record (12-12 NCAA), but they failed to advance to the conference tourney for the second year in a row. USC’s women went 21-9 and made it to the NCAA regional semifinals. 1997-98: In Powers’ second season, USC finished 17-17 (11-15 NCAA) but missed out on the MPSF Tournament by one game. In the fall, the Women of Troy made it to the NCAA Pacific Region semifinals and had a record of 23-6, the squad’s most wins since 1991. 1998-99: A senior-less USC team came within a victory of advancing to the NCAA Final Four, losing in the MPSF Tourney championship to host and top-ranked BYU. But the Trojans finished strong with wins over No. 7 Hawaii, No. 4 Pepperdine and No. 2 Long Beach State before the BYU loss. USC finished 24-12 (17-11 NCAA) and ranked No. 7. All-American setter Donald Suxho's 63 aces was a school season record and Brook Billings was the MPSF Freshman of the Year. USC's women went 24-6 in the fall and made the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. 1999-2000: For the second straight year, USC was 1 win away from the NCAA Final Four, losing in the MPSF Tourney semis to Pepperdine. Troy went 26-6 overall (No. 4 in final poll) and, for the first time since 1991, won a share of the MPSF Pacific Division title at 16-3. USC went 14-0 at home, was ranked No. 1 nationally for 2 weeks near season's end, twice beat a No. 1 team (Long Beach State and UCLA, to break a 13-match losing streak to the Bruins). The Women of Troy went 21-9 and got into the NCAA's second round. 2000-01: The Trojan men, with 5 starters returning, then went 15-11 and qualified for the MPSF tourney with a 10-7 record. The Women of Troy went 29-3 and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the first time since 1985, losing in the semifinals.

2018 USC MEN’S VOLLEYBALL HISTORY
AN ERA OF EXCELLENCE (con't.) 2001-02: USC's men struggled through their most difficult season, going 6-22 overall (finishing 11th in the MPSF at 3-19). Troy set school records for most losses, as well as most consecutive overall and MPSF losses (11). USC's women were 25-4, getting to the NCAA regional final. 2002-03: The Women of Troy went 31-1 and captured their fifth national championship, while Turhan Douglas took over the men's program and went just 6-25 (a school record for losses in a season) in his first year. 2003-04: USC's women had a perfect 35-0 season for their sixth national title (second consecutive). The Trojan men posted their third straight 6-win season (this time 6-23) while tying school records for most consecutive overall and MPSF losses (11) and setting the consecutive home loss mark (8). 2004-05: USC's men, hampered by injuries throughout the year, were 7-23. The Women of Troy went 23-6 and advanced to their third consecutive NCAA Final Four, losing in the semis. 2005-06: After USC's women forged a 17-11 record and advanced to the NCAA second round, the Trojan men posted an 11-18 mark (their best since 2001), including wins over UCLA and Pepperdine to break 6- and 5-year losing streaks to those teams. 2006-07: The Trojan men, under new head coach Bill Ferguson, had their best season since 2001, going 12-16 overall and 9-13 in the MPSF for eighth place to qualify for the conference tournament. Along the way, Troy had its first 3-game win over UCLA since 1991 and first win at Hawaii since 1999. The USC women went 27-5 and made it to the NCAA third round. 2007-08: USC's men had their most overall (13) and league (10) wins since 2001, their first repeat MPSF tourney visit since 2001, their first victory at Pepperdine since 1999 and their first consecutive wins over UCLA since 1991 (and first consecutive wins at UCLA since 1990). The Women of Troy made it to the NCAA Final Four (losing in the semifinals), finishing at 29-5. 2008-09: The Trojan men, after tying for fifth in the MPSF, re-emerged onto the volleyball map by winning their first MPSF Tournament and advancing to the NCAAs for the first time since 1991 (they lost in the final to UC Irvine, 3-2).

2009-2010: After the USC women went 22-10 and got to the second round of the NCAAs, the men were 16-11 and qualified for the MPSF tourney. 2010-2011: Both the USC women (who went 29-5) and men advanced to the NCAA Final Four, losing in the semifinals. The 23-4 men (their most wins since 1999) won their first MPSF title since 2000 and were ranked No. 1 nationally until the final poll, led by AVCA National Player of the Year Murphy Troy. 2011-12: For the second consecutive year, USC's women (19-5) and men (24-6) made it to the NCAA Final Four. The women won the first-ever Pac-12 title and the men (the NCAA runnersup) won their second straight MPSF regular season title for the second year in a row (for the first time ever). Both teams featured the AVCA National Player of the Year, Alex Jupiter and Tony Ciarelli. 2012-13: USC's women went 30-6 while advancing to the NCAA regional final, as Natalie Hagglund repeated as an All-American first teamer and Samantha Bricio was the National Freshman of the Year.

2018 USC MEN’S VOLLEYBALL HISTORY
USC’S SETTERS AND THE 5-1 SYSTEM USC was one of the earliest proponents of the 5-1 offense in college volleyball. Much of the Trojans’ success over the years — four NCAA crowns, eight runners-up placings and two thirdplace finishes — can be attributed to the 5-1 offense. The 5-1, which features only one setter handling the entire offensive scheme, has long been recognized internationally as the premier offensive system. With the success of the U.S. men’s National Team, which uses the system, all of today’s college teams have gravitated to the 5-1. USC began with the system in the early 1970s with Carlos Fonseca at setter (1973-74-75). Although three players shared the setting position in 1976 (Gary Fisette, Brent Peterson and Alan Rosehill), the Trojans have had only 16 setters since then: Dusty Dvorak (1977-78-79-80), Bill Stetson (1981-82), Rudy Dvorak (1983-84-85-86), Mike Lauterman (1987-88), Dan Greenbaum (1989-90-91), Ty Price and Aaron Boone in 1992, Price and Steve Loeswick in 1993, Loeswick in 1994-96, Donald Suxho in 19972000, Miles McGann in 2001 and 2003, McGann and J.T. Gilmour in 2002, Gilmour in 2004, Jimmy Killian in 2005-08, Riley McKibbin in 2009-11, Micah Christenson in 2012-15, Jack Yoder and Gert Lisha in 2016 and Lisha solely in 2017. The accomplishments of these setters are a testament to the efficiency and effectiveness of the system as employed by USC. During Dusty Dvorak’s tenure, the Trojans won two national championships (1977-80). Under the guidance of coach Ernie Hix, and with the talent and creativity of Dvorak, much of the playset offense and quick transition attack was developed. The USC system combined the quickness of the Japanese and the playset options and back-row attack of the Polish teams (both were Olympic gold medal winners). The USA National Team adopted the system when Dvorak moved there. As the setter, Dvorak led the U.S. to international dominance and an eventual gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. He is still recognized as perhaps the best setter ever produced in the U.S. Bill Stetson set the Trojans to the NCAA Final Four in 198182. He proved himself internationally as the setter for West Germany’s 1988 national champions. And Stetson was the starting setter for this country’s most successful club team, Molten America, guiding his squad to several national championships. Rudy Dvorak, an All-American in 1986, brought USC back to collegiate volleyball prominence with two NCAA runners-up finishes in 1985-86. He has since trained with the U.S. National Team, and played internationally in Italy and professionally on the beach. Mike Lauterman, a walk-on surprise, set USC in the 1987 and 1988 NCAA Finals, guiding Troy to its third NCAA title (1988) when he was named to the NCAA All-Tournament team. Dan Greenbaum took over the setting reins in 1989 and helped the Trojans win the 1990 NCAA crown. He was an All-American for the 1991 NCAA runners-up and then was with the U.S. Olympic team. First-time Trojan Ty Price handled most of the setting duties in 1992, while first-year freshman Steve Loeswick took over for Price in mid-1993 and continued on solely in 1994, 1995 and 1996. Donald Suxho of Albania started at setter for 4 years (1997-2000), earning National Player of the Year honors in 2000 before joining the U.S. Olympic squad. He was succeeded in 2001 and 2003 by Miles McGann (McGann and J.T. Gilmour handled the duty in 2002). Gilmour (along with Gio Altamura at times) was the 2004 setter. Jimmy Killian took over in 2005 through 2008 (Gilmour filled in at times in 2005). Riley McKibbin inherited the job in 2009, getting the Trojans their first NCAA berth since 1991, and continued setting in 2010 and while earning All-American first team honors in 2011. Micah Christenson was the AVCA National Newcomer of the Year in 2012 as he guided USC to the NCAA runnerup spot and continued in that role in 2013 and as an All-American first teamer in 2014 and 2015 (while also setting for the U.S. National Team). Jack Yoder and Gert Lisha shared the setter job in 2016, with Lisha handling it in 2017.

USC IN THE NCAA AND MPSF
USC IN REGIONAL/CONFERENCE TOURNEYS
USC has been one of the most successful teams in college volleyball over the last 41 years. The Trojans won the NCAA title in 1977, 1980, 1988 and 1990, finished second in 1979, 1981, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 2009 and 2012, and placed third in 1982 and 2011. The 7-member men's volleyball version of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation originally was a merger in 1993 of the three largest conferences in the West — the Pac-10, Big West and Western Athletic — along with several independents and it was comprised of 13 teams. A number of teams joined or left the MPSF over the next 24 years (it was a 12-team league in 2017). As the MPSF celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2018, the league was reconfigured into a 7-team league, maintaining inaugural members USC, UCLA, Stanford, Pepperdine and BYU and adding newcomers Concordia and Grand Canyon. The MPSF, formerly the Western Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, was formed to pool resources in several nonrevenue sports and yet maintain a high level of competition. Schools play a 12-match MPSF schedule, with overall records against league teams determining seeding into the postseason 7-team MPSF Tournament. The tourney winner gets 1 of the 5 automatic NCAA Tournament bids. In all but 8 of the 48 years of the NCAA tourney, the national champ has come from the MPSF (or its predecessor conferences).

After beating Rutgers Newark in the NCAA semifinal, USC defeated Ohio State in 4 games (15-11, 9-15, 15-10, 15-12) to win its first NCAA Championship. Kalache and Yoder were All-American first team picks, while Dvorak and Steve Obradovich were All-American second teamers. Kalache was the NCAA All-Tournament team MVP.
USC'S 1980 NCAA CHAMPIONS
The Trojans and head coach Ernie Hix found themselves in their third Final Four in 4 years. USC defeated UCLA in four games (15-7, 6-15, 15-13, 158) to win its second NCAA Championship. Troy (22-6), one of the best teams in college volleyball history, featured 3 future Olympic gold medalists (Dusty Dvorak, Steve Timmons and Pat Powers) and a 3-time All-American first teamer (Tim Hovland). Powers went on to coach the Trojans from 1997 to 2002. Hovland, Dvorak and Powers were All-American first team selections that year, with Dvorak earning NCAA All-Tournament team MVP honors.

USC'S 1988 NCAA CHAMPIONS
After being down two games to none in the NCAA Championship match, USC head coach Bob Yoder subbed Lawrence Hom into the lineup…and Hom sparked one of the greatest comebacks in NCAA history as Troy won the next three games to defeat UC Santa Barbara, 15-17, 14-16, 15-10, 15-11, 15-9, en route to the school’s third NCAA Championship (after three straight NCAA Championship runnerup seasons). The Trojans (34-4) were led by All-American first teamer and NCAA All-Tournament team MVP Jen-Kai Liu, All-American first teamer and College Player of the Year Tom Duke and College Freshman of the Year Bryan Ivie.
USC'S 1990 NCAA CHAMPIONS
The Trojans (26-7), under the guidance of first-year head coach Jim McLaughlin, were in their 10th Final Four in 13 years. Troy’s lineup of future Olympians Bryan Ivie, Dan Greenbaum and Nick Becker defeated Long Beach State, 15-10, 12-15, 15-4, 15-6, to win its fourth NCAA Championship. Ivie was honored as an All-American first teamer, College Player of the Year and NCAA All-Tournament team MVP. Greenbaum, Kevin Shepard and Freshman All-American Jason Perkins joined Ivie on the NCAA All-Tournament team.

HOME RECORD USC's quaint North Gym (capacity 1,000), in the Physical Education Building, was the original home of the Trojan men's volleyball team. Troy played there from the team's inception in 1970 through 1988, then played its matches in the Lyon Center (capacity 1,300) from 1989 to 1996. USC then went back to the North Gym from 1997 to 2002 until splitting time between the North Gym and Lyon Center from 2003 to 2006 before taking up residence in the new Galen Center (capacity 10,258) in 2007. Here is the USC men’s volleyball team’s year-by-year home record: 2013 ............. 4-7 2004 ........... 3-10 1977 ............. 8-0 1986 ........... 11-0 1995 ............. 7-5 2014 ........... 10-4 1978 ............. 8-3 1987 ............. 9-3 1996 ............. 3-6 2005 ............. 5-8 2015 ........... 12-3 1979 ............. 8-1 1988 ........... 13-1 1997 ............. 9-4 2006 ............. 6-7 2016 ............. 5-8 2007 ............. 5-8 1980 ............. 8-2 1989 ............. 8-3 1998 ............. 7-4 2017 ........... 10-4 2008 ............. 6-6 1981 ............. 8-0 1990 ............. 9-3 1999 ............. 8-6 1982 ............. 9-2 1991 ............. 9-0 2000 ........... 14-0 2009 ........... 10-3 .. 328-158 (.675) 1983 ............. 4-4 1992 ............. 7-4 2001 ........... 10-2 2010 ............. 8-4 2002 ............. 5-9 2011 ........... 14-1 1984 ............. 9-3 1993 ............. 6-4 1985 ............. 9-1 1994 ............. 8-1 2003 ........... 1-11 2012 ........... 15-3
