ANAHEIM - Two-time UCLA NCAA champion Jeff Nygaard, Bruin AIAW champion Terry Condon, UCLA AIAW finalist Sue Gozansky (lifetime service award) and former Bruin assistant coach Charlie Brande (lifetime service award) have been selected as part of the 14-member 2020 class of the Southern California Indoor Volleyball Hall of Fame.

A three-time Olympian, Nygaard was the NCAA MVP in helping UCLA capture national titles in 1993 and 1995.  Nygaard, who was named the NCAA Freshman of the Year in 1992, is the current head men's volleyball coach at USC. Condon was an All-American setter-hitter on the 1974-75 AIAW title team and went on to enjoy a UCLA administrative career around college coaching.  Gozansky played one-year as a graduate student at the start of the AIAW era while receiving her UCLA master's degree and then went on to coach UC Riverside to multiple NCAA Division II titles.  Brande was an assistant for UCLA women's head coach Andy Banachowski in the early 1980s before going onto a club coaching career. Many of his male and female players have advanced to play collegiately at UCLA.

The new class --- Terrry Condon, Dixie Grimmett, Jack Henn, Ernie Hix, Alan Knipe, Duncan McFarland, Jeff Nygaard, Manuel Saenz, Gary Sato, Troy Tanner, Jane Ward, Teee Williams-Slacanin, along with lifetime service award winners Charlie Brande and Sue Gozansky -- will be inducted in a ceremony on May 3 in Anaheim at the Highway 39 Event Center.
