The Pac-12 released its All-Century Men's Volleyball team on Wednesday with four Trojans earning a spot on the roster along with current USC head coach Jeff Nygaard, who was recognized for his playing career at UCLA. USC is represented by two-time All-American Dusty Dvorak (pictured above on the right), two-time National Player of the Year Bryan Ivie, NCAA tournament MVP Celso Kalache (pictured above on the left) and two-time All-American Pat Powers.
This honor is just one of many for these four talented Trojans, who established USC men's volleyball as an elite program. Kalache led the Trojans to their first NCAA title in 1977, earning All-American honors that season, while also playing for the Brazilian National Team in the 1972 and 1976 Olympics. Dvorak joined Kalache on the 1977 NCAA title team, while also aiding the Trojans to their second NCAA crown along with Powers in 1980. Both Dvorak and Powers also played together for the United States National Team, leading them to a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics. Once Powers retired from playing professionally, he became the USC head coach from 1997-2002. Finally, Ivie still owns several USC records, including career (2,380) and season kills (770), and career (661) and season blocks (199). He also represented the United States at the 1992 Olympics, where he earned a bronze medal, and the 1996 Olympics as well.
