Irvine Valley sophomore center Andrew Bastien has signed with Division 1 Utah Valley University.
Bastien, a 6-9 center, averaged 8.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game.
He was named first team all-Orange Empire Conference.
Bastien led the conference in blocked shots and ranked third in the conference in rebounding.
He also shot 53.6 percent, which was third-best in conference.
"We're excited to add Andrew to the Wolverine roster," Utah Valley coach Mark Pope said. "He's a smart player, who has good footwork and a nose for the ball—key attributes you need in a developing post player. A tough and dedicated player, he should have a big impact on our team immediately."
Bastien scored in double figures in nine games this past season for Irvine Valley with a season-high of 19 points in Irvine Valley's 72-64 overtime win over College of the Canyons to win the IVC Classic title last November. He had a double-double in that game with 19 points and 11 rebounds.
He also recorded double-doubles against Cypress (11 points and 11 rebounds) on Dec. 13 and against Santa Ana (12 points and 12 rebounds) on Feb. 18.
The Lasers finished the season with a record of 16-11 overall and 9-3 in the Orange Empire Conference. IVC finished second in the conference standings.
Bastien, who prepped at Orange Lutheran High, is headed to a Utah Valley team that finished with an 11-19 record overall last season. The Wolverines went 5-9 in the Western Athletic Conference.
