Girls volleyball: Becker shares MVP in PCL

- Corona del Mar High senior setter Jacqueline Becker, who led the

Sea Kings to a runner-up finish in the Pacific Coast League, is one of

three PCL Most Valuable Players selected by league coaches.

Becker, a first-team All-PCL and All-CIF Southern Section performer as

a junior, shares the league’s top honor with Laguna Beach seniors Sarah

Salem and Brittany Wood.

Estancia High senior Arlis Reynolds and CdM senior Morgan Smith are

first-team selections, while three Newport-Mesa players are recognized on

the second team.

Reynolds, a setter and middle blocker, was a second-team All-PCL

honoree in 2000.

Smith, who plans to walk on at UCLA, helped the Sea Kings advance to

the CIF Southern Section Division III-A semifinals, where they fell in

five games to Bishop Montgomery to finish 19-7.

CdM senior Eleanor Mack, CdM junior Claire Allen, as well as Costa

Mesa junior Sharon Day are second-team picks.

CdM’s Alissa Zoelle and Lindsay Ensign both received honorable

mention.
