Wayne Cavadi | NCAA.com | December 11, 2021 DII volleyball teams with the most NCAA DII national championships Tampa wins the 2021 DII women's volleyball championship Share There have been plenty of national champions with multiple titles in the history of DII women's volleyball — 10 to be exact. In 2021, the Tampa Spartans defeated Washburn to claim its fourth championship. That victory moves the Spartans into second place among active DII programs, trailing only Concordia-St. Paul's record of nine. Here are the programs that have captured the most titles in championship history. 2021 RECAP: Tampa sweeps its way to fourth title Concordia-St. Paul, 9 (2007-13, 16, 17) Concordia-St. Paul Athletics The Golden Bears are the benchmark when it comes to DII volleyball greatness. The Brady Starkey era has been one of the most dominant in all of DII volleyball's history. Starkey took over in 2003 and led the Golden Bears right to the championship match. They fell that season to North Alabama, but by 2007, the Golden Bears were championship-bound on an annual basis. Not only did they go on to win every national championship from 2007 to 2013, but they also went on a 43-match unbeaten streak, not losing until they were eliminated from the 2014 tournament. MORE: Championship history Tampa, 4 (2006, 14, 18, 21) The Spartans are the latest to move up the all-time list. If there is a DII fall festival, you can pencil in Tampa to make the finals. Tampa's first three titles have come at fall festivals, and the Spartans even finished as national runners-up at the 2010 festival. They broke that trend in 2021, claiming their fourth title. Portland State, 4 (1984, 85, 88, 92) Portland State joined Division I officially in 1996, but not before the Vikings left their mark on the DII scene. In 1983, Portland State lost the national championship to Cal State Northridge by a score of 3-2. The Vikings would avenge that loss, becoming the first repeat champions in DII volleyball history. In both '84 and '84, the Vikings defeated the same Cal State Northridge team that spoiled their first trip to the title game. West Texas A&M, 3 (1990, 91, 97) West Texas A&M Athletics The Lady Buffs were the second team in DII volleyball history to repeat, claiming the title in 1990 and '91. They have since become a familiar tournament face, racking up 26 appearances over the years, becoming one of the many to fall to the Golden Bears in their return to the 2009 title match. West Texas A&M is one of the most dominant programs in Lone Star Conference history with 19 regular season titles and 15 tournament titles to add to its trophy case. Barry, 3 (1995, 2001, 2004) NCAA Photos The Bucs entered the DII volleyball scene in 1988 with a modest 16-12 record. Seven short years later they were national champions, capturing the first of three titles spread out over ten seasons. Five teams have won two championships. Cal State Northridge is one of those five teams, and perhaps the most perplexing. The Matadors went to every national championship match from 1982 to 1988 but were only able to walk away victorious in 1983 and '87. Northern Michigan has two titles as well and those trophies came in repeat fashion, winning in 1993 and '94. Hawaii Pacific, BYU-Hawaii, and UC Riverside round out the two-time winners.
