BYU defeated Long Beach State in the final match, 3–2 (15–30, 30–18, 20–30, 32–30, 19–17), to win their third national title. The Cougars (29–4) were coached by Tom Peterson.[2]

BYU's Carlos Moreno was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Moreno, along with six other players, also comprised the All Tournament Team.

Qualification

Until the creation of the NCAA Men's Division III Volleyball Championship in 2012, there was only a single national championship for men's volleyball. As such, all NCAA men's volleyball programs, whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III, were eligible. A total of 4 teams were invited to contest this championship.
