Intercollegiate Athletics
IVC Athletics: A Tradition of Excellence
Since 1990, Irvine Valley College has been committed to maintaining a strong athletic and academic tradition. Competing as a member of the nation’s toughest college conference, the Orange Empire Conference (OEC), Irvine Valley teams have collected 24 state championships and 53 conference titles from 1990 through the winter of the 2018-19 school year. IVC currently competes in 13 intercollegiate sports: baseball, women’s badminton, women’s sand volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. The success of the IVC teams can be attributed largely to an outstanding coaching staff that demands excellence from students, not only on the courts and fields but also in the classroom. All head coaches for the men’s and women’s teams hold at least a master’s degree.
The last several years have been among the best athletics campaigns in school history.
Irvine Valley athletics had one of its best finishes during the 2017-18 school season in the National Alliance of Two-Year College Athletic Administrators (NATYCAA) standings. The Lasers finished 12th among 109 community college athletic programs in the state. IVC was competitive with the top schools in the state, most that include football and more than the 13 sports that Irvine Valley offers.
Irvine Valley’s women’s volleyball team won the 2017 CCCAA State Championship after defeating San Joaquin Delta, 23-25, 25-16, 25-20, 25-16 at Solano College. Outside hitter Olivia Aguilar led the Lasers to the title with a match-record 30 kills. She was named MVP of the tournament and IVC capped a perfect 27-0 season. All-tourney selection Taira Ka’awaloa added 15 kills, All-American Megan Ramseyer dished out 49 assists with 12 digs and libero Gabi Lau totaled 30 digs, which was the most in the event by any player since 2009. Irvine Valley became the first undefeated state champion since itself in 2014 when that team also finished 27-0. IVC followed that up in 2018 by winning an Orange Empire Conference and again reaching the state tournament. The team, paced by All-American sophomore libero Renata Bath, finished with a record of 21-2 overall.
And five months after helping Irvine Valley capture a state volleyball championship indoors, Ramseyer and Ka’awaloa took to the sand to add another as the duo captured the 2018 California Community College Athletic Association Beach Volleyball Pairs championship with a straight-set win over Josannah Vazquez and Sierra Davis of Long Beach City at West Valley College in Saratoga last spring. Ramseyer and Ka’awaloa posted a 22-20, 21-18 victory during a wind-swept championship match. It was the culmination of an incredible season by the IVC women’s beach volleyball. The squad as a whole won an Orange Empire Conference title and also made the state tournament as a team.
The Irvine Valley women’s basketball team captured its second straight Orange Empire Conference title behind sophomore conference MVP Lexi Vail and all-conference freshmen players Anai Washington and Zoe Stachowski. The Lasers were ranked among the top 20 teams in the state all season and ended the regular season with a record of 22-5 overall.
Irvine Valley’s men’s tennis team won its third straight CCCAA State Championship in April 2017 in Ventura with a 5-1 win over the top team from Northern California, American River. The Lasers took a 2-1 lead in doubles, then won the Nos. 5, 1 and 4 singles to secure their third straight state title with a 5-1 win over American River. It was a rematch of last year’s state final between the two No. 1 seeds and the score was the same. Irvine Valley (19-0) completed an undefeated season for the first time in school history. The Lasers ended the year having won 35 straight matches and were 58-3 in the last three years with all three losses coming to four-year schools. It was their fourth straight appearance in the California state final and now they are 3-1. Irvine Valley became the second straight men’s team to win three straight State titles
Other recent athletic highlights include the Irvine Valley men’s volleyball team making the state tournament last spring, the women’s badminton team winning a Pacific Coast Athletic Association title and having freshman Michelle Chen reach the state final in singles, Irvine Valley women’s tennis team winning the second Orange Empire Conference title in program history, being ranked No. 1 by the ITA in Southern California, making the playoffs and reaching the semifinals of the CCCAA Team Dual Playoffs, the men’s soccer team being ranked No. 13 in the nation in 2017 and women’s freshman golfer freshman Katie Stribling taking fourth at the state tournament in the fall of 2018 and freshman Kylie Sok placing fifth in the state in 2017.
The 2014-15 school year was also special one for Irvine Valley. IVC won three team state championships and recorded another five individual state titles, including earning titles in women’s volleyball, men’s tennis and women’s beach volleyball.

Conference Play
Irvine Valley College is a member of the Orange Empire Conference (OEC) and the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) of the Community College League of California’s Commission on Athletics (COA). Members of the OEC are Cypress, Fullerton, Golden West, Orange Coast, Riverside, Saddleback, Santa Ana, and Santiago Canyon colleges.
Eligibility
As mandated by CCCAA rules, IVC advises student-athletes to check with coaching staffs and the CCCAA rulebook for data on initial and continuing eligibility. Please note that these rules are also helpful in establishing eligibility for transfer and competition at the four-year level, but students are advised to speak with coaches well in advance of enrollment to ensure proper course schedules and degree programs.
Generally:
-
A student-athlete must be enrolled and actively attending a minimum of 12 semester units at their community college during the season of sport. Of the 12 units, at least 9 must be attempted in courses in any of the following areas: remediation, career technical education/certificate courses, associate degree requirements, transfer/general education and/or lower-division theoretical major preparation courses as defined by the college catalog and/or articulation agreements and consistent with a student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP).
-
To be eligible for a second season of sport, the student-athlete shall maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade point average in accredited post-secondary coursework computed since the start of the semester/ quarter of the first participation in any sport, regardless of the college attended.
-
To be eligible for a second season of a sport, the student-athlete must pass a minimum of 24 semester units before the semester of the second season of competition. Of the 24 units, at least 18 shall be in any of the following areas: remediation, career technical education/certificate courses, associate degree requirements, transfer/general education and/or lower-division theoretical major preparation courses as defined by the college catalog and/or articulation agreements and consistent with a student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Transfers
Per CCCAA bylaws, a student who is transferring to IVC for athletic participation, and who has previously participated in intercollegiate athletics (and whose most recent participation was at another California community college) must complete 12 units at IVC prior to the beginning of the semester of competition for that sport. A maximum of 8 units can be applied from summer enrollment.
Late Registration
Per CCCAA bylaws, a student-athlete who registers in a community college later than four weeks after the first day of class instruction (as listed in that community college calendar) for that season of sport shall not represent that community college in athletic competition in that semester.
Important:
These requirements are very exacting. Athletes are advised to become thoroughly familiar with CCCAA bylaws in order to avoid loss of eligibility. All interested students are urged to review the bylaws at www.cccasports.org and to contact the head coach for their sport immediately to learn the requirements for eligibility at 949-451-5398.
Counseling for Student-Athletes
A specific counselor has been designated to counsel student-athletes. The athletic counselor works closely with team coaches and is familiar with athletic eligibility requirements for California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Student-athletes must have an academic plan in order to compete, and meeting with the athletic counselor is necessary to the completion of this plan. Student-athletes are encouraged to see the athletic counselor on a regular basis for career, personal, academic and athletic counseling.
