UC Irvine won the NCAA volleyball title after winning their game against USC. Irvine had a ton of support in the crowd, approximately 3,015 people from their student body were in the stands.




ESPN reports that Ammerman of UC Irvine was elected as the tournaments most valuable player, after sticking out a rough junior season. He had six kills, 12 blocking assist, and one solo block in today's game. According to the OC Register Irvine's coach Speraw attempts to ensure that people know their 2007 win was not just by luck, "This shows that 2007 wasn't just lightning striking," Speraw added. "Any program can win one (championship) with the right recruiting class, a couple of transfers and a few breaks in the playoffs. To get to three national championships and win two of them shows we have something special here." LA Times elaborates on how proud Speraw is of his team's win, "That was an epic battle," UC Irvine Coach John Speraw said. "I think people could be talking about that match for a very, very long time."
