2024-25 CSUN Top Moments – A Pair of CSUN Teams in National Rankings
From June 11 to August 11, GoMatadors.com will present the top CSUN Moments from the 2024-25 sports season. Today, we celebrate the Men’s Volleyball and Women’s Water Polo teams who were each nationally ranked during the 2024-25 academic year.
CSUN Athletics produced a pair of programs that reached national rankings in their respective sports during the 2024-25 season. CSUN men’s volleyball finished the season ranked ninth, while women’s water polo reached as high as 16th during the 2025 campaign.
In men’s volleyball, CSUN finished with an 18-11 overall record and was ranked ninth in the final AVCA National Collegiate Coaches Poll of the season. The Matadors, under third-year head coach Theo Edwards, were ranked in the top-10 in the final poll of the season for the second time in the last seven seasons and 17th time since the creation of the AVCA national poll in 1986.
After concluding the season with a heartbreaking five-set loss to No. 4 UC Irvine in the Quarterfinals of the Outrigger Big West Men’s Volleyball Championship, the Matadors would finish the season ranked ninth. During the 2025 season, CSUN reached a season-high No. 7 national ranking a total of three times. After opening 2025 ranked No. 15 in the Preseason Coaches Poll, the Matadors steadily climbed in the rankings, culminating with a 12-2 record and a No. 7 national ranking on Mar. 3. That marked the highest national ranking for the Matadors since also ranking seventh on Jan. 15, 2018.
One week later, CSUN received a season-high 302 points (Mar. 10) to also rank seventh where it would remain until Mar. 17. The Matadors, ranked in all 17 national polls during the 2024 season, were ranked in all 17 polls during the 2025 season (7th three times, 8th, 9th five times, 10th, 12th, 13th, 15th three times, and 16th twice).
Over the course of the 2025 season, the Matadors defeated a total of eight ranked teams including No. 5 Hawai’i (Apr. 4), No. 8 Grand Canyon (Feb. 19), No. 10 UC San Diego (Apr. 10, Apr. 12), No. 10 Pepperdine (Feb. 8), No. 15 Lewis (Mar. 20), No. 19 Princeton (Mar. 12), and No. 20 George Mason (Feb. 2).
The CSUN women’s water polo team finished the 2025 season at 16-13 overall. CSUN was ranked in the Collegiate Water Polo Association top-25 national poll in 12 weeks of the season.
The Matador water polo team would be ranked as high No. 16 on the year, marking the highest the program had been ranked nationally in a decade. CSUN remained ranked in the top-20 through the first three weeks of the season after winning seven of its first eight matches. The team would also collect a victory over nationally-ranked Villanova in a 17-14 decision at Matador Pool on March 2.
CSUN’s 2025 season marked the third consecutive year the water polo program had recorded a winning season, the first for the program since notching three straight winning years from 2013-2015. Head coach Matt Warshaw also moved up to second place in school history in all-time coaching victories at 117, just 11 off the pace from breaking the program’s all-time win mark.

Indiana volleyball falls to Texas in regional semifinals, ends NCAA Tournament run
Indiana volleyball’s historic season came to an end Friday against the University of Texas at Austin in the NCAA Tournament regional semifinals. The Hoosiers were swept by the Longhorns at Gregory Gymnasium in Austin, Texas, to finish their season with 25-8 overall record.
Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles led Indiana’s offensive efforts with 13 kills in the match off a .195 hitting percentage. Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager recorded nine kills, while freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray had eight.
While Texas claimed the opening point in the first game, Indiana kept it close in the starting moments. The Hoosiers had a serve to tie the game at five points, but the Longhorns responded with a kill from freshman outside hitter Cari Spears.
Texas then went on a run to take a 9-5 lead over Indiana. The Hoosiers continued to chip into the Longhorns’ lead, but Texas overpowered Indiana, going on a 4-0 run later in the set to take a 14-8 lead. Junior outside hitter Torrey Stafford had a hand in each of the four points during the run.
Indiana pulled within two points after a 6-2 run in the first game put it behind Texas 16-14. While the Hoosiers stayed within reach of the Longhorns until late in the set, they couldn’t gain enough momentum to swing the game in their favor. Indiana struggled to stop Stafford, as she scored eight points off six kills, two blocks and a service ace in Texas’ 25-20 set win.
In the second set, the Hoosiers once again kept it close until the Longhorns were able to string together a 4-1 run in the middle of the game to take a 12-8 lead. Texas’ defense was suffocating for Indiana’s typically powerful offense, as the Longhorns recorded five blocks in the second set.
Texas extended its advantage to six points, and while Indiana pulled within two points after a 5-1 run, it wasn’t enough to overturn the Longhorns, who won the set 25-22. Through two sets, Texas held Indiana to just a .177 hitting percentage compared to the Longhorns’ .365 hitting percentage.
The Hoosiers fell behind early in the third set, allowing the Longhorns to get off on an 11-5 lead. However, Indiana dug into the deficit. A 6-2 Indiana run later in the set tied the game at 18 points, leading Texas to call a timeout.
Following the timeout, the Longhorns scored two straight points to regain their lead and carried their advantage to the end of the set, picking up another 25-22 win.
Indiana struggled to contain Stafford throughout the contest, as she recorded 22.5 points off 19 kills, four blocks and a service ace. She ended the match with a .679 hitting percentage.
With the loss to Texas, Indiana finished its season with a 25-8 overall record with a 14-6 mark in the Big Ten. It marked the most wins and fewest losses in a single season in program history for Indiana.

No. 3 Volleyball sweeps No. 15 Indiana to move on to Regional Final in NCAA Tournament
AUSTIN, Texas. — The No. 3 Texas Volleyball team rolled past No. 15 Indiana (25-20, 25-22, 25-22) to advance to the Regional Final of the NCAA Tournament. In the last 20 regional semifinal appearances, the Longhorns have advanced to 18 NCAA Regional Finals, 12 National Semifinals and eight National Championship matches.
Junior Torrey Stafford became just the second Longhorn since 2013 to reach 500 kills in a season and first since Madisen Skinner in 2023 who finished with 547. Stafford also reached 700 career digs (705) with eight on the day along with four blocks, which tied her season high. The outside hitter recorded a .679 hitting percentage, marking her season high. In addition, Stafford became the sole Longhorn since 2013 to register 500 kills and 250 digs in the same season.
Texas put up .374 hitting percentage as a team, while limiting Indiana to .217. Freshman Cari Spears totaled eight kills and three digs while hitting .312. Middle blocker Nya Bunton recorded seven kills and five blocks, while outside hitter Whitney Lauenstein registered seven kills and season-high four blocks. Sophomore Ayden Ames contributed six of the 12 total blocks for the Longhorns, along with three kills. Libero Ramsey Gary reached 200 digs at Texas (201) with three while facing her former team.
Set One: Texas extended the lead with a 4-0 run to 14-8 in the first set against the Hoosiers, taking the set 25-20. Stafford totaled six kills while hitting .750, with Bunton putting up three blocks amongst Texas’ four in set one. The Longhorns hit .323 while limiting Indiana to only .162 and one block.

ASU volleyball’s NCAA tournament run ends in Sweet 16
Updated Dec. 11, 2025, 3:26 p.m. MT
No. 2 seed Arizona State volleyball’s quest for an NCAA championship has come to an end.
The Sun Devils were defeated in four sets (24-26, 25-19, 13-25, 18-25) by No. 3 seed Creighton in the NCAA Regional Semifinal on Thursday, Dec. 11, in Lexington, Kentucky.
“There wasn’t one defining moment, but I think we all kind of knew coming into this how bad we wanted to repeat this year,” setter Sydney Henry said. “We knew the history of ASU, and I wanted to continue that legacy, so I think from the moment that we all stepped in there together, we knew what we wanted to do, how to get there, we knew it was going to take hard work, and so I think just all along, that was the plan for us.”
Creighton finished with an 8-4 advantage in service aces.
Opposite hitter Noemie Glover had a valiant effort for the Sun Devils, posting 17 kills on a .517 hitting percentage with just two errors, followed by Kiylah Presley and Bailey Miller’s nine kills each.
But ASU faced a strong attack from Creighton, which saw National Player of the Year finalist Ava Martin post 23 kills on a .388 hitting percentage. Martin wasn’t the only one providing the offense and was helped by Kiara Reinhardt’s 15 kills and Jaya Johnson’s 12 kills.
“Hats off to Creighton, really clean volleyball,” coach JJ Van Niel said. “They put a lot of pressure on us from the serving line, and we weren’t able to find the right answers.”
Even with having three fewer kills than the Bluejays in the first set, ASU looked all over the place and was out of system.
Neither team led by more than three in the first set, which led to it going down to 26 points for the winner after Glover’s kill tied it at 24. Setter Brynn Covell’s service error gave the Bluejays the set point, and Martin closed out with a kill.
Creighton used the momentum from the first set for a strong start and led 11-8, but Glover’s back-to-back kills got ASU within one.
ASU’s right side provided a problem for Creighton as Presley made a huge impact in the Sun Devils’ turnaround, getting five kills and two blocks in the second set.
“I think Sydney was putting me in good positions to score,” Glover said. “I think that was kind of the main reason that I’m able to find openings there, our passers were doing well to put the ball in good position, and then just seeing the floor and having diverse shot selection.”
However, ASU couldn’t get a handle in the third set after Creighton mounted two separate 5-0 runs, the biggest runs of the match up to that point. The Bluejays outscored the Sun Devils with 17 kills to ASU’s eight, and were 3-0 on service aces.
“They just spun the rotation just slightly, and they were getting their really, really good servers on the line,” Van Niel said. “They mixed up really well, and they got us in some trouble there. They were playing really clean volleyball, and we’re patient, and we block a ball, and they cover it, and they just kind of kept chipping away and chipping away. They’re really, really scrappy, so that was probably the big adjustment.”
Creighton never surrendered a lead in the fourth set, but ASU had several runs and even came within four points to trail 16-12. But the Sun Devils couldn’t score consecutive points until they were down by eight points, and Creighton needed two more to win.
ASU finished the season, 28-4, and still hasn’t gone past the Sweet 16 round.
