Description

Long Beach State secures another national championship with a commanding sweep over UCLA, showcasing their unparalleled team culture and championship mentality. Their "blue collar" approach and ride-or-die brotherhood has created a volleyball program where bench energy is so intense it earned yellow cards during their championship celebration.

• Long Beach's first set domination, hitting nearly .800 against UCLA
• Moni Nikolov's clutch serving, delivering two consecutive aces when UCLA led 20-18 in the second set
• The stark contrast between UCLA's grim timeout huddle and Long Beach's electrified bench
• Long Beach volleyball culture as elite, gritty, and built on intense loyalty
• Post-match championship F-bomb continuing the Long Beach tradition
• Way-too-early predictions for next season's contenders: Hawaii, Stanford, and USC
• High school volleyball update with Open Division Championship preview

Join us for season three as the podcast may be moving to a new home with some exciting changes ahead!
