Girls’ volleyball--St. Margaret’s Emily Hallenbeck was MVP of the Academy League last season, contrary to the story in Monday’s Times Orange County edition. San Clemente’s Jessica Olivier, who transferred from Capistrano Valley Christian, was a first-team All-Olympic League selection last season.
Key returners: Bridgett Beschen, 5-11, middle hitter, So.; Nicole Citro, 5-10, middle hitter, Jr.; Tricia Hooper, 5-10, opposite, Sr.; Whitney McAtee, 5-8, setter, Sr.; Kate Metzger, 5-6, outside hitter, Jr.; Lauren Netherby, 5-9, outside hitter, Sr.; Paige Spaulding, 5-11, middle blocker, Sr.; Wendy Wilkins, 5-8, outside hitter, Sr.
Key newcomers: Jessica Olivier, 6-0, middle blocker, Sr.; Heather Zall, 5-6, setter/outside hitter, Fr.
Outlook: Wilkins and McAtee are beginning their fourth season on varsity. “Definitely a strength is going to be experience and also a strength is that we don’t have a questionable spot,” O’Rear said. The Tritons got a boost in the off-season when Olivier transferred from Capistrano Valley Christian. Olivier led the Eagles to the quarterfinals of the Southern Section Division V tournament and was selected the most valuable player of the Academy League last season.
