The 1984 NCAA Men's Volleyball Tournament was the 15th annual tournament to determine the national champion of NCAA men's collegiate volleyball. The tournament was played at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California during May 1984.[1]
UCLA defeated Pepperdine in the final match, 3–1 (15–10, 15–13, 16–18, 15–7), to win their eleventh national title. This was a rematch of the previous year's final, also won by UCLA. The undefeated Bruins (38–0) were coached by Al Scates.
UCLA's Ricci Luyties was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Luyties, along with six 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.
