Irvine Valley has a record of 10-1 overall (with its only loss coming to a four-year college), won the Orange Empire Conference once again with a 8-0 record.
The tean is led by coach Ross Duncan and highlights standout players like Philip Neuman, who was named the OEC player of the year (that story will be released on Monday) along with Steven Anderson, Richard Petery, Nevin McCann, Bradley Yung, Humam Alajeely and Jonathan Hinkel.
