Hillary Crone will play volleyball next season for Irvine Valley College, a competitive program which consistently battles for the State Championship. IVC's coaching staff is loaded with experience, including head coach Tom Pestolesi and world champion Misty May. Hillary Crone currently plays as a hitter on the right side for 951 Elite's 18-1 squad and will be graduating from Great Oak High School.

Lyndsey and Courtney Brewer, sisters who both play on 951 Elite's 18-2 squad, have chosen to play together again next fall for the University of La Verne. The twins bring skill sets that help complete any team. Lindsey is a middle blocker and Courtney is a hitter on the outside or the right side. The addition signals another change to the Lavern's program, who is also currently selecting a new head coach. Rich in volleyball tradition, the University of La Verne can boast twenty-one conference championships and three national championships.

Andrea Johnson has chosen to play college volleyball for Eastern Illinois University. Andrea is a middle blocker who has worked hard since joining 951 Elite, earning a spot on the 18-1 squad. Andrea played high school volleyball for Rancho Buena Vista. As team captain, she helped her team excel this past season in San Diego's competitive Division I. Andrea is excited to play for the Panthers and head coach Alan Segal. She said, "I chose EIU because of the amazing coach, team, academics, and the beautiful campus. It was the perfect fit for me and easy to choose over other offers."

Celeste Tuioti-Mariner has committed to play college volleyball for Cal State University, Dominguez Hills. Currently libero on the 18-1 squad, Celeste is no stranger to the game of volleyball. Both for 951 Elite and for Corona High School, Celeste has played middle, outside hitter, libero, and setter. She is a gifted athlete who will benefit the Toros with her superb passing and hitting prowess. Celeste will join 951 Elite alumni Jessica Harrison ('08) in the fall.

Lauren Reed will be playing for UC Davis in the fall. While considering other offers, Davis was chosen for sentimental reasons as much as any other - Davis was Reed's favorite childhood team. Lauren transferred to 951 Elite her senior year with hopes of receiving the scholarship that had thus far eluded her. Now, she will be "living the dream" as middle blocker for the Aggies. Lauren also played for Redlands High School and led the Citrus Belt League in blocking. She hit for an impressive .46, helping her team to a 12-2 league record.

Lauren Goodell will be heading to Virginia to play for Pat Kendrick and the George Mason Patriots. Kendrick will be entering her 25th season as head coach for GM and will soon benefit from the smooth setting offered by Lauren. A Senior at Fallbrook High School, Lauren has played both right side and setter positions and led her team in assists for the 2008 season. Lauren currently is the starting setter for 951 Elite's 18-2 team.
