3 SEASON OUTLOOK After a two-year absence, the USC men s volleyball team is ready to make a run at returning to the NCAA Championships. In fact, the 2015 version of the Trojans appears similar in makeup to the 2012 squad that made USC s last NCAA trip, which was the third in a four-year span for a program that claims four NCAA titles and 14 NCAA Final Four appearances in its history. This team is very similar to our 2012 team that won the MPSF regular season title and advanced to the NCAA Championship match, said ninthyear head coach Bill Ferguson. We have very similar personnel with very similar abilities. Four starters return from 2014, including one of the world s top setters and two Freshmen All- Americans. There also is experience and depth at every position. In all, 12 players on USC s 20-man 2015 roster got into matches last season, including 10 who saw significant playing time. This team has the best culture and chemistry of any team I ve had here, said Ferguson, a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year who has guided USC to three trips to the NCAA Championships, two Mountain Pacific Sports Federation regular season crowns and an MPSF tourney title while going 11-6 against crosstown rival UCLA. It is the tightest-knit team I ve had, the most self-motivated, the most selfaware and the most selfless. The players understand their individual roles better than any group I ve ever had. This also is the best serving team I ve had at USC. We have the ability to score points from the service line with just about everyone in the lineup. This team will have a faster offense than we ve had in recent years. It also has the ability to defend, dig and transition well. Last year, USC nearly tripled its 2013 win total by going overall (14-10 in the MPSF) and finished with a No. 10 national ranking. The Trojans posted wins over eventual NCAA champion Loyola Chicago and five other Top 8-ranked squads. USC must replace four-year starters at opposite hitter (Tanner Jansen) and libero (2014 All-American second teamer Henry Cassiday), as well as versatile Maddison McKibbin, who had 50 career starts at 3 positions, including on the outside last season. The Trojans will revolve around 6-6 senior setter Micah Christenson, a three-year starter who was a 2014 All-American first teamer when he won the Lloy Ball Award (as the nation s top collegiate setter) and then started for the U.S. National Team that won the FIVB World League gold medal. Last season, he led the nation in assists average (11.62), and also led USC in assists (1,046) and aces (25) and was second in digs (210) and blocks (51). Micah has the potential to be one of the best setters ever at USC, a school that has produced some of the game s greatest setters, said Ferguson. He also is one of the best servers and defenders on our team. He runs our team in practice and matches. He gained exceptional experience this past summer competing at the highest level and proved to be among the best setters in the world. Backing up Christenson are a pair of youngsters in 6-5 sophomore Michael Mullahey, who started all three matches in which he appeared last spring, and 6-3 redshirt freshman Jack Yoder. Micah Christenson Michael has established himself as our setter in waiting, said Ferguson. He would start for most teams in our league. He also has a tremendous serve and is a good blocking presence at the net. Jack improved immensely in the fall. On any other team in the league, he would play a significant role. USC is deep and experienced at middle blocker. Robert Feathers, a 6-8 senior who started in 2012 (when he was the National Blocker of the Year) and in 2013 then was a backup last season, appears ready to resume a starting role. A career.380 hitter with 248 blocks, he hit a USC rally scoring era record.453 last year. Sophomore Andy Benesh, at 6-8, was a 2014 Freshman All- American first team honoree while starting all season. He led USC s regulars in hitting percentage (.443) and blocks (91) while also getting 190 kills and 60 digs. He played with the U.S. Junior National Team this past summer. Robert had the best off-season of any player I ve ever coached, said Ferguson. He is ready to have a season similar to his dominating freshman year. He s healthy and in the best shape of his career. His hard work this summer is paying off. Andy is a fierce competitor and one of the best all-around middle blockers in the league. He can affect a match as an attacker and as a blocker. He had a fantastic freshman year. Also competing for time in the middle are 6-8 senior Chris Lischke, who had 16 starts last year, and juniors Tommy Leonard, who at 6-8 has 11 career starts (including nine last season), and 6-6 Tyler Cundiff, who has yet to play at USC. Chris is our best blocker, said Ferguson. He once again will play a key role on our team as a leader off the court and as a player on the court. He should see significant action. Tommy gives us the best depth of any middle blocking corps in the country. He d start on many teams. He s a tremendous attacker and he continues to improve as a blocker. Tyler has improved immensely and is healthy for the first time in a year. He will continue to be a solid contributor for us on and off the court. Cristian Rivera, a 6-6 senior with 26 career starts at opposite hitter and outside hitter, has emerged as the likely starter at opposite. He had seven starts there in 2014 and posted 89 kills, 37 digs and 14 blocks overall. Junior Josh Kirchner, at 6-6, has switched from middle blocker (where he has 13 career starts) to opposite hitter and has taken well to the move. Jon Rivera, a 6-5 freshman who like Cristian Rivera hails from Puerto Rico (they are not related), is also in the conversation at opposite hitter. He led his Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola High School team to a pair of national championships and was his league s Player of the Year as a senior. He also played for the Puerto Rico Junior National Team and trained with the country s National Team. Cristian had a phenomenal off-season, said Ferguson. He matured greatly. He is a smart attacker and a solid blocking presence on the right side. He also gives us the ability to pass with four players when we are facing a team with tough servers. Josh is making the transition from the middle to playing opposite and he is doing very well. He will compete for playing time. He is a very effective blocker and is one of our better servers. Robert Feathers PAGE 1 Andy Benesh

4 SEASON OUTLOOK Jon has a fantastic arm and a great work ethic. He has quickly gotten into the mix at opposite hitter and he has the potential to compete for playing time. Outside hitter Lucas Yoder, a 6-4 sophomore, returns after being named the National and MPSF Freshman of the Year in 2014 when he had a team-best 394 kills while hitting.303, along with 111 digs, 33 blocks and 13 aces. He was sixth nationally in kills average last year (4.02). But Ferguson said the starting outside jobs are up in the air. After coming off a big freshman year, Lucas got off Cristian Rivera to a slow start in the fall and is competing to get back in the mix, said Ferguson. He is the best natural passer on our team and has the best court vision of any hitter. Among those challenging to start on the outside are 6-4 junior Alex Slaught and 6-3 soph Christopher Orenic. Slaught has 27 career starts, including the first 10 matches last year, while Orenic saw backup action in 14 matches last spring. Alex had a fantastic fall, said Ferguson. He has emerged as one of our strongest players. He is a reliable attacker and solid passer. Christopher has one of the best arms on our team. He also is the best end blocker and best server of our outside hitters. He has the ability to start. There also is a trio of freshmen battling for time at outside hitter: 6-4 Jack Wyett of Laguna Beach (Calif.) High, who was a 2014 All-CIF Division II first team pick, 6-2 Larry Tuileta of Honolulu s (Hi.) Punahou School, where he was a three-time All-State outside hitter in volleyball (he was the National High School Player of the Year in 2014) and quarterback in football, and 6-6 Conor Inlow of Mira Costa High in Manhattan Beach (Calif.). All three made the Volleyball Magazine Fab 50 list. Tuileta spent this past fall as a reserve quarterback on the Trojan football team. Jack was our team s most pleasant surprise of the fall, said Ferguson. He established himself as an effective outside hitter. He is a solid player in every facet of the position. If Larry can make the transition from college football to college volleyball like he did at the high school level, then he ll have a chance to be a significant contributor to this team. He is an outstanding passer and defender, and he has great range and vision as an attacker. Conor has improved a ton. He ll focus on playing outside hitter this year, but he ll likely play other positions here in the future, as he can also play opposite and middle. Lucas Yoder Junior Brooks Varni, at 6-2, will inherit the starting libero spot. He has appeared in 27 matches in his career, with nine starts. Backing Varni, and also available as defensive specialists, are 6-3 redshirt freshman Riley Mallon and 5-9 sophomore Vinnie Rios. Neither has played yet. Brooks plays the libero position better and understands the role of the position better than anyone I have coached, said Ferguson. He is a tremendous competitor who helps drive our team in practice. Riley has shown tremendous improvement as he continues to transition from a high school outside hitter to a libero in college. He is one of the best natural passers on our team. We may use him as a back row passing sub. Pound for pound, Vinnie is the best athlete on our team. He is an animal in the back court digging balls, and he continues to improve as a passer and playing the libero position. I expect him to compete for a role on this team. If all these players come together like Ferguson thinks they will, don t be surprised if the 2015 Trojans end up in a familiar place, the NCAA Championships. Location...

5 Bill Ferguson Head Coach COACHES It took ninth-year USC men's volleyball head coach Bill Ferguson just a short time to put the Trojans back on the nation's volleyball map. He was promoted to lead the USC program on May 16, He has a record in his 8 seasons at USC, with 3 trips to the NCAA Championships (2 runnerup finishes), 2 MPSF regular season crowns and an MPSF tourney title. He has gone 11-6 against crosstown rival UCLA. He also coached the Southern California Volleyball Club 17 boys team to a gold medal at the 2011 Junior Olympics, the 18 boys team to a silver medal at the 2012 Junior Olympics, the 15 boys team to a gold medal at the 2013 Junior Olympics and the 16 boys team to a silver medal at the 2014 Junior Olympics. In 2014, USC was overall (14-10 in the MPSF) with a No. 10 final national ranking. The Trojans posted wins over eventual NCAA champ Loyola Chicago (which spent much of the season ranked No. 1) and 5 other Top 8-ranked squads. Micah Christenson was named an All-American and won the Lloy Ball Award, Lucas Yoder was the National and MPSF Freshman of the Year and Andy Benesh was a Freshman All-American. The young, injury-plagued 2013 Trojans struggled through a rebuilding year, going 6-18 overall and in the MPSF. Along the way, though, USC defeated teams that were ranked No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 nationally. Eighteen of the 23 Trojans were underclassmen, including 10 freshmen. Troy tried 14 different starting lineup in its 24 matches. In 2012, he took a team that lost 4 starters from 2011 (including the National Player of the Year, 2 other All-Americans and the school hitting percentage record holder) and, despite being picked fifth in the MPSF preseason poll and starting off with a 5-4 mark, turned it into a squad that went 24-6 overall with a No. 2 final national ranking and won a second consecutive MPSF regular season title (for its first time ever) with an 18-4 mark. Troy was the runnerup in the NCAA Championship (appearing in its third NCAA Final Four in 4 years) and played in its sixth consecutive MPSF Tournament (advancing to the semifinals), both as the host school (the near-sellout 9,612 fans at the NCAA final were the third most ever at an NCAA final). For this, he won his second AVCA National Coach of the Year honors and also was Volleyball Magazine National Co-Coach of the Year. Along the way, the Trojans had an 18-match overall winning streak (their longest since 30 in a row in ), a 14-match MPSF winning streak (the longest since 18 straight in ) and an 11-match home winning streak. USC held the nation's No. 1 ranking for 4 weeks. The Trojans posted 3-0 sweeps in 17 of their 24 victories, while 11 of the 27 sets they lost were by the minimum 2 points (including 2 sets in the NCAA final). USC was second nationally in winning percentage (.800) and third in blocking (a school rally scoring era record 3.13), and led the MPSF in opponent hitting percentage (.192). Ferguson notched his 100th career win midway through the season. Tony Ciarelli was the AVCA National and MPSF Player of the Year (the first time USC had back-to-back honorees) while leading the nation in aces (he set the USC career record and MPSF match standard), Micah Christenson was the AVCA National Newcomer of the Year and MPSF Freshman of the Year, Robert Feathers led the nation in blocking and Steven Shandrick set the school career hitting percentage record. In the summer of 2012, he was the head coach of the USA Volleyball Men s Junior National A2 team. In 2011, he was named MPSF Coach of the Year as his fifth USC team went 23-4 (USC s most wins since 1999) and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the second time in 3 years, where it fell in the semifinals. The Trojans went 20-2 in the MPSF (their most league victories since 1986), won their first MPSF regular season title since 1999 (the first outright since 1991) and were the runner-up in the MPSF tourney. USC was ranked No. 1 nationally the entire season until finishing third in the final poll. Along the way, the Trojans won 12 consecutive matches (their longest streak since a school-record 30 in ), 17 straight home matches (their longest streak since a school-record 19 in ) and 11 MPSF matches in a row (their most since 18 in ). Thirteen of USC s wins were 3-0 sweeps. The team s first 3 losses of 2011 came in 5 sets. USC led the nation in kills (14.16), digs (9.76) and assists (13.35) and its.351 hitting PAGE 3 percentage was a school rally scoring era record. The Trojans snapped a 17-match losing streak to Cal State Northridge and held UCLA to its fewest total (55) and set (12) points against USC in the rally scoring era that began in Murphy Troy was the AVCA National and MPSF Player of the Year (USC's first AVCA honoree since 2000 and first ever by the MPSF) and Riley McKibbin was an All-American first teamer. In 2010 in his fourth Trojan campaign, his team was overall and 13-9 in the MPSF for a sixth place finish. USC began the season ranked No. 1 in the AVCA poll (its first pre-season top ranking since 1991 and its first No. 1 ranking anytime since late in 2000). Troy held that top spot for the first 4 polls while getting off to a 6-1 overall start and 4-0 MPSF start (its best starts since 2000). USC appeared in its fourth consecutive MPSF tourney, its longest streak since going to 7 straight from 1989 to In 2009 in just his third year at USC, he was named the AVCA and VBall Magazine National Coach of the Year as he guided the Trojans to a overall mark (USC's most overall wins since 2001) and a fifth-place tie in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation standings at 13-9 (USC's most MPSF victories since 1999). USC won its first-ever MPSF Tournament title. His Trojans defeated 7 Top 6-ranked teams. He guided USC into the NCAA Championships for the first time since 1991, where it lost a 5-set heartbreaker in the final. He also helped USC to the MPSF tourney final for the first time since 1999 and its first back-to-back-to-back appearances in the MPSF tournament since a 3-year streak from 1999 to 2001, as well as to its highest national ranking (second) since USC's 5-match early-season winning streak was its longest since USC posted its first back-to-back wins over BYU since and snapped a 14-match losing skid to the Cougars that stretched to His Trojans posted a third consecutive victory over UCLA, USC's longest such streak over the Bruins since getting 4 in a row in (he has a 4-2 coaching mark against UCLA). With a 3-0 win over UC Irvine in the MPSF tourney semis, USC also snapped a 10-match losing streak to the Anteaters that stretched to 2004 and was the Trojans' first win at Irvine since 2000, ending an 11-match losing string there (that 2000 victory was also the last time USC beat UCI in 3 sets). USC also won a pair of pre-season tournaments (in Canada and Hawaii). Murphy Troy was USC's first All-American first teamer since In 2008 in his second season at Troy, he led USC to its most overall and league wins since 2001 and its first back-to-back appearances in the MPSF tournament since a 3-year streak from 1999 to USC was overall and for eighth place in the MPSF. His Trojans swept UCLA, the first time USC defeated the Bruins twice in a row since 1991 and the first time since 1990 that USC recorded consecutive wins at Pauley Pavilion. And his squad had a 5-game victory at Pepperdine (USC's first victory in Malibu since 1999, snapping a 9-match losing streak there). In 2007, his first season as head coach, he guided USC to its best season in 6 years. The Trojans had their most overall (12-16) and MPSF (9-13) wins, their highest MPSF finish (eighth) and their first appearance in the MPSF tournament since USC beat UCLA at Pauley Pavilion for the first time since 2000 and the 3-0 win was its first sweep over the Bruins since 1991, giving Ferguson a victory in his debut against legendary UCLA coach Al Scates. Troy also snapped a 12-match losing streak to Hawaii and did so in Honolulu, its first win there since Ferguson, 44, was an assistant at USC in 2006, when he also served as Troy's recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator in addition to coaching the setters.

29 Since volleyball scholarships were first awarded at USC in , 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 38 years, while the women have won 6 national crowns and played in 12 Final Fours since The men have a winning percentage of.622 in that span ( ), while the women are at.747 ( ) : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 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 : 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 overall and third in the nation. The Women of Troy, meanwhile, captured a second straight national championship : 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 The Trojan women were second in the country : USC rebounded from its mediocre 1983 season, winning its first six matches en route to a overall mark. Only a loss in the finals of the NCAA Western Regional kept the Trojans from another Final Four trip : 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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : For the first time in 5 years, USC didn t advance to the NCAA Final Four. The Trojans, 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. PAGE 27 AN ERA OF EXCELLENCE : 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 : 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 : 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 The Women of Troy, however, went 23-8 to advance into the NCAAs : 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 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 : USC started off 10-0 and ranked No. 2 nationally, but leveled off to finish with a 17-7 NCAA mark (23-8 overall).

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 (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 : 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 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).

31 PAGE 29 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 third-place 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 ( ). Although three players shared the setting position in 1976 (Gary Fisette, Brent Peterson and Alan Rosehill), the Trojans have had only 14 setters since then: Dusty Dvorak ( ), Bill Stetson ( ), Rudy Dvorak ( ), Mike Lauterman ( ), Dan Greenbaum ( ), Ty Price and Aaron Boone in 1992, Price and Steve Loeswick in 1993, Loeswick in , Donald Suxho in , Miles McGann in 2001 and 2003, McGann and J.T. Gilmour in 2002, Gilmour in 2004, Jimmy Killian in , Riley McKibbin in and Micah Christenson in 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 ( ). 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 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 He has since trained with the U.S. National Team, and played internationally in Italy and professionally on the beach. Mike Lauterman, a walkon 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 Donald Suxho of Albania started at setter for 4 years ( ), 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 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 (after setting for the U.S. National Team).

32 USC IN THE NCAA AND MPSF USC has been one of the most successful teams in college volleyball over the last 38 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 The 12-member men's volleyball version of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation was a merger of the three largest conferences in the West the Pac-10, Big West and Western Athletic along with several independents. The MPSF, formerly the Western Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, was formed in 1993 to pool resources in several non-revenue sports and yet maintain a high level of competition. Schools play a 24-match MPSF schedule, playing each team twice, with overall records against MPSF teams counting toward selection to the postseason eight-team MPSF Tournament. The teams are seeded, with the tourney winner getting the West Region s automatic NCAA berth. In all but 5 of the 45 years of the NCAA tourney, the national champ has come from the MPSF (or its predecessor conferences)! USC IN THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS Year Record Finish Opponents st def.
