Outside attacker TJ DeFalco and opposite Kyle Ensing just continue to win — even in the college men’s volleyball offseason.
The two Long Beach State All-Americans months after leading the 49ers to the NCAA championship helped the United States win the bronze medal on Sunday at the FIVB Volleyball Nations League Finals.
DeFalco and Ensing were the only two college players to make the U.S. roster for this six-week international tournament featuring the top 16 nations. Check out the individual stats for both players during the 2018 FIVB Volleyball Nations League.
