As the 2025 NCAA Division I women’s volleyball season unfolds, there’s a keen focus on maintaining a perfect record, with only Nebraska remaining undefeated. Following Texas’ recent defeat to Texas A&M on October 31, the landscape of undefeated teams has shifted dramatically.
Since 1981, just five teams have successfully completed a season without a loss while securing a national championship title. This exclusive club includes:
- Penn State (2008, 2009)
- Southern California (2003)
- Nebraska (2000)
- Long Beach State (1998)
Penn State notably holds the all-time record for the longest winning streak in Division I women’s volleyball, achieving a remarkable 109 consecutive victories between 2007 and 2010, during which they captured four consecutive national titles. The 2009 squad remains the latest to triumph with an unblemished record.
The current season prompts speculation: will another team succeed in joining the ranks of these historic champions? Here’s a closer look at the undefeated teams as of now:
