UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara, 3–1 (15–9, 7–15, 15–9, 15–10), to win their fifth national title. This was a rematch of the 1971 and 1974 title matches, both won by UCLA.

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.
