The Lasers are coming off one of the best seasons in school history last year.
Irvine Valley won its first 24 matches of the season, finished with an overall record of 24-2, placed third in the state tournament, won a conference title and had freshman middle blocker Annie Mitchem named two-year national player of the year as well as All-American and the OEC MVP.
Coach Tom Pestolesi was recognized as the two-year regional coach of the year.
It was the fourth Orange Empire Conference in program history and the team's second-best finish ever at the state tourney.
Pestolesi will have most of his team back from last year, including Mitchem, all-region setter Hailey Jones and all-OEC outside hitters Marisa Doran and Kobi Pekich.
