We are set to begin the DI/II Men’s NCAA Tournament after some surprising upsets last week in the MPSF and Big West Conference Tournaments. In DIII, we crowned Southern Virginia as 2025 National Champion. The quarterfinal round through the championship round will take place in Columbus, Ohio. Stay tuned for our live coverage from the semifinals and final round of the tournament on our Instagram @usavolleyball.
We are figuring out conference champions and wrapping up the DIII season this week in the men’s college roundup. Rankings remain the same as it's time for the teams and athletes we have followed all year to prove themselves on the biggest stage.
Hawaii up to No. 3, UCI up to No. 4, and USC down to No. 5 after three losses see the roundup hit a small reset as we enter the final weekend of regular season matches in DI/II. It’s tournament time in DIII, where Stevens and Springfield trade places at the conclusion of conference tournaments.
It was a strange weekend of men’s college volleyball with nearly all of your top five pairs having to put another mark in the L column. Whether the losses were a biproduct of spring break, a long season, or just good competition, it doesn’t shake up our rankings too much. This week, UCI and Hawaii flip-flop once more at No. 4 and 5. In DIII, Springfield and Southern Virginia trade places at No. 2 and No. 3 with the regular season at its conclusion.
This week’s roundup change reflects the big upset from the past week where UCI handed Long Beach its first loss of the season (0-3) on Friday night. UCI moves up to No. 4 and Hawaii drops down to No. 5. In DIII, we are ready for conference tournaments. Springfield and Southern Virginia flip flop, while NYU is still leading the pack after completing a perfect 23-0 regular season.

So many matches and so little time as we bring you another edition of the men’s college roundup. It’s a week with a match seemingly every day up until the Outrigger Invitational. We are highlighting the jump from Hawaii up to No. 3 and the slide of UCI down to No. 4 after the Rainbow Warriors swept the Anteaters in two matches between the top five opponents last week. In DIII, Stevens falls two spots, allowing Springfield to take No. 3 and Carthage to take No. 4.
As we hinted at last week, the upset of No. 2 UCI by No. 3 UCLA from a week ago has put the Bruins as our new No. 2 team for the latest college roundup. The rest of our top five remains the same in DI/II with Long Beach State receiving all 23 votes from the AVCA to remain No. 1. In Division III, Vassar drops out of the top five and Springfield takes a huge leap from No. 7 to No. 4.
As we near the end of February, the men’s college season and our roundup kick into high gear.

There is no movement in the DI/II polls this week, but we are treated to a couple top five matchups at the DI/II level. Just outside the top five, Loyola Chicago moves up to No. 6 in the AVCA poll with a 10-0 record, ready to officially join the roundup should anyone falter. In Division III, Stevens moves back up a spot to No. 4 ahead of a meeting with No. 1 NYU. We also welcome Carthage to the top five as Juniata gets bounced down to No. 7.

In Division III, big changes to the rankings as NYU takes the top spot, Vassar replaces Stevens at No. 3, and Juniata jumps up to No. 4.
