The White House honored several NCAA champions on College Athlete Day, including the UCLA women’s soccer and men’s volleyball teams, as well as the USC beach volleyball team. Also recognized were the Azusa Pacific women’s track and field team, who won their second Division II outdoor championship, and the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women’s tennis team, who secured their second consecutive Division III championship.

This comeback marked the biggest in College Cup history. Meanwhile, the UCLA men’s volleyball team secured their 20th NCAA championship title by defeating Hawaii. USC’s beach volleyball team also celebrated their third consecutive championship win by defeating UCLA.
