Irvine Valley finished the 2023 season with a record of 12-4-6 overall and 7-1-6 in the Orange Empire Conference. IVC made the So. Cal. Regional Playoffs and fell in a tough game at Mt. SAC in double overtime.
Irvine Valley sophomore star men's soccer players Lennart Granzow and Grant Miller were each named first team all-Orange Empire Conference and Graznow was named the defensive player of the year in the conference.
Granzow, a center back, was not only named the defensive player of the year in the OEC, but also an all-state selection, second team all-West Region and second team All-American by the United Soccer Coaches Association for the Lasers.
In his second year at the helm of the program, coach Conor Ward helped eight players move on to four-year schools from the 2023 fall squad.
Christopher Camarena and Fred Becovic are off to Westcliff, Lukas Stark is headed to Hawaii Hilo, Jacob Edwards and Anthony Ocampo signed with Concordia, Miler will be playing at UC Riverside, Granzow is going to UNC Asheville and Gabriel Velasco, the first to commit, signed with Western Illinois.
There is expected to be more signings for the Lasers.
Irvine Valley has another loaded schedule.
The Lasers will start at El Camino on Aug. 27, and follow up going up to the tough, two-day Hartnell Tournament. IVC will start against Fresno on Aug. 30 at 2 p.m.
Southwestern, Rio Hondo, San Diego Mesa, and Cuyamaca follow in the pre-conference part of the schedule.
IVC starts Orange Empire Conference play with a home match against district rival Saddleback at 3 p.m. on Oct. 1.
Ward is excited about the incoming players that will help the squad.
