The Lloy Ball Award is annually given to the nation’s best setter in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball during the regular season.
The award is named after former U.S. Olympic gold medalist and IPFW All-American setter Lloy Ball and is selected by a nationwide voting committee of college men’s volleyball coaches and media members.
A voter can select up to three players on their Lloy Ball Award ballot with a first-place vote worth three points, a second-place vote worth two points and a third-place vote valued at one point. The top three vote-getters are named finalists, and the setter receiving the most votes is recipient of the Lloy Ball Award..
