The 2013 National Championships were held in Dallas, Texas.  29 men’s teams and 23 women’s teams from California attended. 

Men’s Division 1 featured an all-California final with Fresno St. battling UCSB.  Fresno St. defeated UCSB (25-21, 25-16) to bring home the Men’s Division 1 Championship to compliment its California State Championship and Northern California league title.  C.

Men’s Division 2 (for colleges with less than 14,000 students) saw Sonoma St. finish 2nd in the country and Azusa Pacific finish 5th.  In Men’s Division 3 (for universities with a second squad), Cal Poly II and UC Berkeley II both finished in 3rd place. 

Women’s Division 1 had a strong showing from California teams: UCSB (3rd), Cal Poly (9th), San Diego St. (9th), UC Irvine (9th), and UC Davis (17th).  Women’s D1AA featured three California teams in the gold bracket: UC Berkeley (5th), UCSD (5th), and Long Beach (9th).  Women’s D1AAA saw Chico St. finish in 5th place.  In Women’s Division 2 (for schools with a second squad), Cal Poly II finished in 5th place and UC Davis II finished in 9th place.
