*A note on Morgan McKinzie '93:
Predating all current team members, Morgan McKinzie holds a significant place in Princeton VB history and in the hearts of those who knew him and played with him. Team captain and a graduate of Santa Monica HS, Morgan was killed in a plane crash nearing the end of his junior year, during volleyball season. The men's volleyball player-of-the-year award bears his name, and the annual Mother's Day Tournament is played in his memory.
