UCLA won the first NCAA men's volleyball championship in 1970
Don’t forget! The Men’s NCAA Volleyball Semi-Finals and Championships will be held at Penn State on May 5th – 7th. I’ve contemplated taking the drive north to State College to see the matches live, but a $400 round trip in gas prices for my not so fuel-efficient SUV is scaring me away. At least I can watch them on TV or online. Following is the ESPN broadcast schedule:
