The 1992 NCAA men's volleyball tournament was the 23rd annual tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA men's collegiate volleyball. The tournament was played at the John E. Worthen Arena in Muncie, Indiana during May 1992.[1]
Pepperdine defeated Stanford in the final match, 3–0 (15–7, 15–13, 16–14), to win their fourth national title. The Waves (24–4) were coached by Marv Dunphy.
Pepperdine's Alon Grinberg was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Grinberg, along with five other players, 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.
