While Michael Stahl and Jordan Cooper might lay claim to the best seasons in Kingsmen volleyball history, Ben Weber stands alone as having the most accomplished career. A four-year starter, the Orange County native concludes his Cal Lutheran experience as the program’s all-time leader in kills (1,056) and digs (607). By sticking it out through the pandemic and forgoing the transfer portal, despite having the potential to be the focal point of an offense elsewhere, Weber remained fully committed to the Kingsmen, serving as the linchpin of the team’s meteoric rise from afterthought to DIII powerhouse. Head coach Kevin Judd described Weber as the most coachable player he’s ever worked with. “He’s been the glue to this team,” he said. “The poise in his game, the volleyball IQ, the ability to exploit any weakness in his opponent ... it’s incredible.”
