Number of the Day
3 - We are really only at the half point mark for this season, and yet it feel apt to talk about the possibility of the perfect season. NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball has seen 3 perfect seasons in it’s history. Unsurprisingly, they all belong to the dynasty that is UCLA. Between 1979 and 1984, the Bruins lost a combined 9 total matches and won 5 National Championships.
UCLA in 1984 (38-0)
UCLA in 1979 (30-0)
UCLA in 1982 (29-0)
