Humphreys, Kipp named co-MVPs of Pacific Coast League

Ashley Humphreys and Kendall Kipp made for a devastating combination for the Corona del Mar High girls’ volleyball team this year.

Neither would have been as effective as they were without the other, so the duo shared the Pacific Coast League MVP honors.

Humphreys, a senior setter who signed with USC, had 1,019 assists, 172 digs, 101 kills, 58 service aces and 46½ blocks. She had a .457 hitting percentage.

Kipp lined up mostly at opposite in her junior season. The 6-foot-4 junior was the top option for Humphreys, supplying 429 kills, 120 digs, 70 blocks and 48 aces.

CdM went 23-8 overall, including a 10-0 run through the league. The Sea Kings reached the semifinals of the CIF Southern Section Division 1 playoffs, earning a berth into the CIF State Southern California Regional Open Division draw.

Senior outside hitter Christina Davenport, sophomore outside hitter Maya Satchell and senior middle blocker Blair Hodges were named to the first team.

Davenport produced 279 kills with a .352 hitting percentage and 13½ blocks. She also had 28 digs, despite playing exclusively in the front row.

Satchell turned in 170 kills, 59 digs, 43 aces and 29 blocks.

Hodges had 69 blocks and 43 kills.

Senior libero Raleigh Garner also received second-team honors.
