He has won 119 more matches than the coach with the next highest tally of victories, and has recorded nearly 119 more wins than the second-place coach on the women's side of the sport. Additionally, the winning percentage for his women's teams ranks fifth among all NCAA coaches who have at least 10 seasons of experience.

Juniata's women's teams won at least 30 matches in each of the last 31 seasons and surpassed 40 victories on 10 different occasions during this span. The Eagles compiled a staggering 358-14 record (96.2%) against conference foes, and last dropped a match against a conference opponent in 1983.

Additionally, five Juniata players received College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-America accolades, two were selected as the organization's Academic All-American of the Year and two received an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship.

On the men's side, Juniata won a trio of Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association divisional titles under Bock, who himself was tabbed as the EIVA D-III Coach of the Year in both 1993 and `94.
