UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - There have been 37 national champions since the NCAA DI women's volleyball National Championship first began in1981. More than a third of those championships since the events inception belong to Penn State and Stanford, two programs both very familiar with each other on the court.
The Nittany Lions and Cardinal have each won seven national titles, tied for the most of any NCAA DI women's volleyball program nationally. Between the two teams, both programs have met four times in the national championship game, three of which were won by the Nittany Lions.
