1988 NCAA National Champion, USC
USC Rallies to Beat UC Santa Barbara in Final May 08, 1988|JERRY CROWE | Times Staff Writer
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Bob Yoder joked this week that, should USC lose again this season in the final match of the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. volleyball tournament, he had a noose ready in his hotel room. The Trojan coach had no reason to hang himself, though, after USC rallied to beat UC Santa Barbara, 15-17, 14-16, 15-10, 15-11, 15-9, before a crowd of 6,207 Saturday night at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Victory in the 2-hour 50-minute match gave USC its first NCAA men's team championship since the volleyball team won its last title in 1980. The Trojans had lost in the volleyball final four times since then, and Yoder's teams were runners-up each of the last three years. Their frustration ended on a night when junior hitter Lawrence Hom was brilliant off the bench, helping USC become only the second team in the 19-year history of the tournament to win the championship after losing the first two games of the final match. Hom, who replaced Scott McKeough with USC trailing, 4-1, in the third game, sparked the Trojans with his steady passing and defense, and also was successful on 37.9% of his kill attempts, "We just weren't getting any offense or defense out of that position," Yoder said. "We needed a change and (Hom) had been playing well in practice. I just thought it was right for him. "I thought if anybody could turn it around, he could. And he played the match of his life." Said Hom, who opened the season as a starter, but lost his position to McKeough: "I'm just happy I got in. It was kind of a surprise, but everything just clicked. We started doing everything right." The Trojans had played well to that point, but UCSB rallied at the end to win each of the first two games. "They just put rushes on us," Yoder said. "They were playing so well. It was just a great effort to stay in there and turn it around." Hom's play and the dominance of the middle by freshman Bryan Ivie, who put down 50% of his kill attempts, ruined Santa Barbara. "We didn't defend Hom very well," said UCSB Coach Ken Preston, whose team made its first appearance in the final since 1975. "He hit high off the hands and I don't think we defended him deep enough." Said UCSB's David Rottman, who took a match-high 74 sets: "I think it was just a matter of them gaining some confidence and feeling better about themselves. And it just snowballed. "The ball started falling on our side more than it did on their side."

With Welsh-White on staff, the Bison won 43 matches, claimed back-to-back MEAC tournament crowns, and earned consecutive berths into the NCAA tournament (2018-19). During the shortened 2020-21 spring season, he helped coach Bison Jessica Bolden and Amari Patterson to All-MEAC Rookie honors.
In his first season at Howard, Welsh-White was instrumental in recruiting and developing the core of HU’s championship roster. The Bison went 20-10 that year and won a fourth consecutive MEAC title. In 2019, he was part of a Howard staff that guided the Bison to a 20-13 mark (14-1 MEAC) when HU won its fifth straight MEAC championship. Welsh-White and the Bison played a non-conference match at Galen Center that fall during the Trojan Invitational.

While on staff with the Pride, he compiled and analyzed practice statistics, scouted opponents, and was an on-court skills coach.
For two years (2012-14), Welsh-White was a volunteer assistant junior varsity coach at Cowan High School (Muncie, Ind.) where he helped coach the team to several top sectional, regional and state finishes, including the team’s first appearance in the Indiana state championship.
As a collegian, Welsh-White spent four years at Ball State (2012-15) and played three seasons, with one redshirt year due to injury. He then transferred to Springfield College for his final year and helped the Pride to an NCAA Division III runner-up finish in 2016.

Before coaching at Cal, Lugo-Rodriguez spent time playing with the U.S. National Team Program, where he started as a middle blocker for Team USA in the 2017 World University Games. He also earned a preliminary roster spot for the 2015 Pan American Cup and played a season professionally in France's first division.
Lugo-Rodriguez served as the director of operations for the men's volleyball team for a year at his alma mater, Long Beach State. During his time in operations, the 49ers won the 2018 Big West Conference regular-season title before later going on to capture the 2018 NCAA Championship.

He then moved to Lincoln to join legendary coach John Cook's staff. In his first season with the Cornhuskers, Sato helped the club to a 29-7 record, including a 15-5 mark in league play and an 18-3 stretch at historic Devaney Center. The Huskers fell in the national championship game vs. No. 1 Stanford in a five-set thriller in Minneapolis, earning NCAA Tournament wins over Missouri, Kentucky, Oregon and Illinois. Sato, a former standout libero, helped coach a backline that saw five players total at least 190 digs during the season, led by 4.03 digs per set from senior All-American Kenzie Maloney. Maloney earned third-team AVCA All-America and first-team All-Big 10 honors in 2018.
The Cornhuskers again had a historic season in 2019 with Sato on the staff, claiming 28 wins and advancing to the NCAA Regional Final at Wisconsin. Nebraska went 28-5 and a staggering 17-3 in conference and 17-2 at the Devaney Center. Five liberos totaled at least 200 digs during the season for the Huskers, with freshman Kenzie Knuckles averaging a team-leading 3.83 digs per set.
