It’s been two seasons since Nicolas Szerszen put on his jersey and stepped onto the court to play for Ohio State men’s volleyball, but the effect he had on the program and impact he continues to have on the sport lives on.

Already the most decorated player in Ohio State men’s volleyball history, boasting three National Player of the Year awards and back-to-back national championships, Szerszen received another honor April 5, when volleyball media organization Off the Block renamed its collegiate International Player of the Year award after him.

“I thought it was a great deal to be named after this award by this specialist panel, especially because I’ve received it many times, and it means something because it’s a national award and people from outside the country are going to get it,” Szerszen said.

Szerszen now plays for Asseco Resovia, a professional team in Rzeszow, Poland, but the French native dominated at Ohio State. Szerszen led the Buckeyes to national titles in 2016 and ’17 and set the program high mark for career kills, aces, aces per set and total attempts. His 238 career aces are No. 3 in NCAA history.

The award that will now carry his name honors the best international player in NCAA Division I and II men’s volleyball during the regular season.

That occurred to me too. But then I thought that both Men's and Women's hockey share a season so I still thought it was strange.

True, but the demand for ice time seems like it would be less than that for gym time. In addition to men's and women's bb there's intramurals, boy's and girl's state tournaments in vb and bb and state wrestling tournament. Plus winter commencement. I could be mistaken on some of these events but I think they're all held at the Schott.
