Final Four Team Records: 1998 to 2022 (W-L Records and Sets Won and Lost)

The Final Four is the capstone to every NCAA Women’s Volleyball season. There’s more coverage every year, bigger audiences, more TV and streaming service viewers — it’s become a pretty big deal.

The history still matters, and this table covers all the NCAA Women’s Volleyball Final Fours from 1998 to 2022. We chose 1998 as the starting point because it is the first year for which we have access to information on season sets-won and sets-lost records for all of the Final Four participants.

The NCAA does have a very handy web page that lists all the results back to 1981 (but without season sets-won and sets-lost info). Here’s the link:

NCAA Women’s Volleyball Championship History

Back to this table. It’s searchable — so you can type in “Washington” and it will show you all the rows in which “Washington” appears.

It allows you to sort by “Champs,” or by “Finalists”, or by Semi-finalists. Or by Conference. Or by school. Or by Won-Lost records, or by Sets-won, or Sets-lost. I’m fascinated by that kind of stuff. I probably need to get out more.

There also are links to NCAA Brackets (or Recaps) for each year. And whenever available, a link to a video replay (sometimes only highlights) of the championship match.

If you click on the team logos, you’ll go to that team’s website.

I will indulge in a bit of Penn State homerism, by pointing to the 2008 Penn State team, which came close to perfection. Its 38-0 record is still tied for tops (with the 2009 Penn State team), and its season total of only two sets lost (yes, Husker fans, we know those two came in the classic NCAA Semifinal match against Nebraska in Omaha) also is remarkable. Another remarkable feat was Washington’s perfect tournament record (losing zero sets) on its way to the 2005 National Championship! All on the road!!

So we hope you find this Table informative, and perhaps even interesting. Before we go:

We tried our best to ensure that these statistics are accurate, but if sharp-eyed readers notice any mistakes, please let us know. We’ll be very grateful.

Also — photo credit to Ethan Kasales. Yes, it’s Penn State, not an actual NCAA Final Four. But it’s a cool photo, no?
