2015 AWARDS – The Waves returned only two starters from last year with Matt Tarantino, who tabbed All-MPSF second team honors last season, and Mitchell Penning. The Waves graduated six key letterwinners after last season, including four starters and a libero. Graduates Josh Taylor and Matt West were named to the AVCA All-American First Team, and Parker Kalmbach earned second team honors. The Waves led the MPSF with six All-MPSF selections: Josh Taylor, Matt West and Kalmbach were placed on the first team, while Tarantino and Brennan Anderson snagged second-team acclaim, and Scott Rhein picked up an honorable mention.

Kalmbach was a finalist for the Bryan Ivie Award (best opposite). Taylor was a finalist for the Karch Kiraly Award (best outside hitter), with Penn State’s Aaron Russell taking top honors. VOLLEYBALL HISTORY – Pepperdine has won five NCAA men’s volleyball championships, second only to UCLA. The Waves have won the MPSF Tournament three times and have won or shared 10 regular-season conference titles. The Waves have finished in the top six in the final AVCA poll in 16 of the last 18 seasons. Pepperdine student-athletes have won national player of the year honors nine times and All-American accolades 81 times. A Pepperdine alum has competed for the U.S. at the Olympics every time since 1984 (Sean Rooney won gold in 2008).

MARV DUNPHY – Now in his 33rd season as head coach of the Waves, Marv Dunphy has time and again proven himself to be one of the top teachers in the sport. He has directed Pepperdine to four NCAA championships, each in a different decade (1978, 1985, 1992, 2005). He was the 2005 National Coach of the Year and is a three-time MPSF Coach of the Year. He entered the 2016 season with a career record of 589-254 (.699)*. Dunphy has long been involved with USA Volleyball, having been part of the coaching staff at six Olympics, including head coach of the 1988 team and consultant coach for the 2008 squad, both of which won gold. Dunphy, along with David Hunt and Joe Trinsey, were on staff when the U.S. Women’s National Team won their first-ever gold medal at a major event (including the Olympics), after winning the 2014 FIVB World Championships. He has been inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame (1994), AVCA Hall of Fame (2009) and the Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame (2010).

ABOUT PEPPERDINE – Pepperdine boasts a one-of-a-kind athletic department with unprecedented success for a school of its size. The Waves have won NCAA Division I Championships in five different men’s sports — one of just 17 schools to have accomplished this feat — and nine overall. Of this elite group, Pepperdine has the smallest undergraduate enrollment, is the only school without football and is the only university that has not been affiliated with a “major” conference. The Waves have won a total of 25 team or individual national championships in their history. Pepperdine has also earned the Division I-AAA All-Sports Trophy, an award based on postseason success that’s given to the top non-football school, three times (most recently in 2011-12). Located in scenic Malibu, Calif., the university overlooks the Pacific Ocean and its campus and athletic facilities are regularly voted among the nation’s most beautiful. Pepperdine, which is affiliated with the Church of Christ, ranks No. 52 overall on U.S. News and World Report’s list of America’s best colleges.

Widely recognized as one of the game’s premier coaches, Dr. Marv Dunphy has directed Pepperdine to four NCAA men’s volleyball titles and is heading into his 33rd season as the Waves’ head coach in 2016.

Dunphy, who holds a career record of 602-264 (.697)*, is noted for his highly technical ap-proach to the game and diligent training methods. He was the 2005 National Coach of the Year and is a three-time MPSF Coach of the Year.

As a result of his training, 22 different Waves have earned 38 All-American first team ac-colades. Overall, 42 Pepperdine players have been named All-Americans 72 times under

Dunphy’s direction. Six different athletes have gone on to earn either AVCA or Volleyball Magazine National Player of the Year honors a combined nine times in Bob Ctvrtlik (1985), George Roumain (1998, 1999), Brad Keenan (2002, 2003), Sean Rooney (2004, 2005), Jonathan Winder (2007) and Paul Carroll (2009). With six AVCA Player of the Year selections, no other men’s program has had more POTY recipients than Pepperdine since the organization began issuing the awards in 1991.

Dunphy has had a long, successful coaching tenure with the U.S. National Team. The American squad maintained a No. 1 world ranking and compiled an impressive overall record of 197-31 (.864) during his time as coach. Additionally, the team won every major international tournament: the 1985 World Cup, the 1986 World Championships, the 1987 Pan American Games and, most importantly, the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.

Since then, he has been an assistant coach for the men’s team at the 2000 Olympics and a consultant coach at the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympics. In 2012, Dunphy served as a consultant coach in London for the silver medal winning women’s squad.

Dunphy helped the U.S. Women’s National Team make history in October 2014. He served as an assistant coach during Team USA’s gold-medal run at the FIVB World Championships in Italy. It was the U.S. women’s first-ever gold medal at any major tour-nament, including the World Championships, World Cup and Olympic Games.

In the spring of 2011, Dunphy was awarded the U.S. Olympic Achievement Award for his part in helping the U.S. National Team capture gold in Beijing.

Nineteen of his Pepperdine volleyball players have represented the U.S. National Team, with 10 taking part in the Olympics.

In 1994, Dunphy was formally recognized for his immense contribution to the sport, as he was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, Mass. His 1988 Olympic Team was inducted in the fall of 1999. He was also put into the AVCA Hall of Fame in December 2009 and the Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.

Among his honors from the FIVB (the International Volleyball Federation) are the 1987 Coach of the Year and the 1999 All-Time Great Coaches Award (contemporary division). Also in 1999, he was a finalist for the FIVB’s Greatest Coach of the Century Award.

Under Dunphy’s guidance, the program has received NCAA public recognition awards for its outstanding APR scores five times (2004-50, 2005-06, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11).

A native of nearby Topanga Canyon, Dunphy was a middle blocker at Pepperdine during the sport’s formative years at the intercollegiate level and earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from the university in 1974.

After completing his athletics eligibility, Dunphy continued his affiliation with the Pepperdine program, serving as an assistant coach to both Harlan Cohen and Burt DeGroot before assuming the head coaching duties in 1977. The following season, Dun-phy led Pepperdine to its first-ever NCAA team championship, as the Waves upended UCLA in five games in Columbus, Ohio, to win the national crown.

Dunphy, who earned a master’s degree in physical education from USC in 1978, left Pepperdine following the 1978 champion-ship season to obtain his doctorate degree in the same subject area at Brigham Young University. Dunphy completed work for his doctorate in 1981, and then returned to Pepperdine that fall to quickly elevate the program back to national title conten-tion.

Pepperdine advanced to the NCAA title match in 1983 and 1984, but the Waves were beaten on both occasions by crosstown foe UCLA. However, the tide turned for the fabled “Malibu Roofing Company” in 1985, as Pepperdine rolled to an impressive 25-2 record — still tied as the best single-season mark in school history — and defeated USC in four games at Pauley Pavilion to capture the NCAA title.

The victory proved to be a perfect farewell gift to Dunphy, who took a leave of absence following the 1985 season to im-mediately begin working with the U.S. National Team at its San Diego base. Under Dunphy’s watchful eye, the American squad gained international attention, and the 12-man roster (which included former Pepperdine standouts Craig Buck, Bob Ctvrtlik, Jeff Stork and Troy Tanner, three of whom were starters) won the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea.

Pepperdine captured its third NCAA championship in 1986 without him, but Dunphy returned to the head coaching position in November 1988. Upon returning to Malibu, he hit the recruiting trail and once again rebuilt the program. The Waves reached the pinnacle in 1992, as the team upset Long Beach State to win the MPSF Tournament and then captured its fourth NCAA crown with an impressive three-game sweep of top-ranked Stanford in Muncie, Ind.

In 1998, Pepperdine compiled an impressive 23-5 mark and won the MPSF Tournament with a four-game victory over UCLA at Pauley Pavilion. Unfortunately, UCLA gained its revenge in the NCAA title match, defeating Pepperdine in three games.

During the 1999 campaign the Waves notched a solid 20-5 mark and senior outside hitter George Roumain was tabbed the AVCA National Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Roumain was a member of the 2000 Olympic Team along with former Pepperdine players Kevin Barnett and Chip McCaw.

Dunphy took another 17-month sabbatical in order to serve as an assistant coach with the U.S. National Team at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. He returned to Pepperdine in October 2000.

Pepperdine won the 2002 MPSF regular-season title with a 20-2 mark and then proceeded to win the league’s postseason tournament for the second time in three years.

In 2003, Pepperdine went 24-6 overall, including 19-3 in the MPSF, advanced to the title game of the MPSF Tournament and reached the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. There, the Waves suffered a hard-fought five game setback to eventual national champion Lewis, which later vacated the title.

In May of 2003, Dunphy was honored as one of four coaches named to the U.S. Volleyball Association’s Men’s 1978-2002 All-Era Team. Dunphy served the U.S. National Team in a scouting and advisory role during the 2003 World Cup in Japan.

Pepperdine earned its fifth NCAA title in the program’s his-tory in 2005. Pepperdine swept Ohio State in the national semifinals before rallying back from a 2-1 deficit to defeat UCLA, 3-2, in the championship match at Pauley Pavilion, capping off its 25-2 season.

That year Dunphy was selected as National Coach of the Year for the first time in his career. He also earned MPSF Coach of the Year honors for the second time after previously picking up the honor in 2002.

In 2006, Volleyball Magazine selected Dunphy as one of the “30 Most Recognizable Names in Volleyball.”

Dunphy earned MPSF Coach of the Year honors again in 2007 as the Waves went 26-3 overall, won both the MPSF regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th time in school history.

During fall 2007, Dunphy rejoined the U.S. National Team for the World Cup in Japan, where he served as team leader.

The 2008 Waves made one of their most unexpected runs to the national championship match, as they began the post-season as the #5 seed in the MPSF Tournament, but won the event with three straight wins away from home. Pepperdine knocked off Long Beach State in the NCAA semifinals before falling to Penn State in the championship. The Waves finished with a record of 18-11 and a #2 national ranking*.

Dunphy was a member of the coaching staff for the 2008 U.S. Olympic squad, which made a remarkable run to the gold medal. One of his former All-Americans, Sean Rooney, was a player on the team. He returned to the London Olympics in 2012, and served as a consultant coach to the silver-medal winning women’s team.

The 2009 squad was one point away from making another NCAA Championships appearance before falling in the MPSF Tournament final to USC in five games. The Waves ended the season with a 22-5* record and a #3 national ranking.

In 2014, the Waves tied for first in the MPSF regular-season standings marking just the 10th time in program history the team has finished the season at the top. Pepperdine, ranked #4 in the final AVCA poll, ended the year with a 19-7 overall record after reaching the MPSF Tournament semifinals. 2015 played out similarly, with the Waves advancing all the way to the MPSF Tournament finals and end the year ranked #5. Between the two seasons, Pepperdine won a program-record 20 matches in a row inside Firestone Fieldhouse.

A popular instructor for Pepperdine University’s sports medi-cine department, Dunphy resides in the Decker Canyon area of Malibu with his wife Su. The couple has two daughters, Karen and Alexandra, and one son, Dijon. Alexandra won a national championship as a member of the USC women’s vol-leyball team and is currently serving as an assistant coach for the Waves’ women’s volleyball team. Marv and Su also have three grandchildren, Hunter, Shay and Trent.

*Pepperdine later vacated all wins (66), NCAA Tournament losses (1), MPSF Tournament Championships (1) and NCAA Tournament appearances (1) accrued during the 2008, ‘09, ‘10 and ‘11 seasons due to self-reported NCAA violations. Records marked with an asterisk do not reflect this. Pepper-dine’s official NCAA all-time record prior to the 2016 season is 686-350, while Marv Dunphy’s official NCAA record at Pep-perdine is 523-253 overall. Pepperdine’s official conference record is 482-270 and its official MPSF record is 277-153. The Waves have officially won three MPSF Tournament titles and made 14 NCAA appearances. Official season records are as follows: 2008, 0-10; 2009, 0-5; 2010, 0-10; 2011, 0-15.
