Championship Teams
California-based universities dominate the men's volleyball national championship; Penn State, Ohio State and Brigham Young University are the only non-California universities to have won the NCAA Div. I championship; Hawaiʻi and Lewis also won the championship tournament, but had their victories vacated due to NCAA rules violations. Only six non-California universities have participated in the NCAA Div. I championship match (Brigham Young, Penn St., Ohio St., IPFW, Hawaiʻi, and Lewis), although universities such as Princeton and Ball State have participated in the final four.
UCLA, Southern California, Penn State, Stanford, and Long Beach State are the only schools in Division I to have won an NCAA national championship in both men and women's volleyball. (But for Hawaiʻi's vacated 2002 title, it would have matched this feat with 3 NCAA and 1 AIAW women's national championships.) In addition, Stanford (1996–97) and Penn State (2007–08) are the only universities the men and women's volleyball programs of which have won the national championship in the same academic year. The 2013 Championship tournament will be held on May 2, 4, 2013 at the newly renovated Pauley Pavilion, Los Angeles.

Famous quotes containing the word teams:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
