Girls volleyball: Four Back Bay stars All-CIF

A trio of Corona del Mar High girls volleyball players, who led

Coach Steve Conti’s Pacific Coast League co-champions to the CIF Southern

Section Division III-AA semifinals, as well as berth in the CIF State

Southern California regionals, have been named first-team All-CIF

Division III by section coaches.

Seniors Sara Deming and Lindsey Anstandig, as well as junior

Jacqueline Becker, are on the 13-player first team.

Newport Harbor senior Taylor Govaars is a second-team selection in

Division I.

Deming, 5-foot-11, and Anstandig, 5-10, are both outside hitters,

while the 5-8 Becker played setter for the Sea Kings, who finished 18-11.

Deming and Becker were first-team All-PCL honorees, while Anstanding was

a second-team pick.

CdM was defeated in five games by Bishop Montgomery in the section

semifinals. But, since there is no Division III-A, the four Division

III-AA semifinalists advanced to the Division III state playoffs.

Govaars, a 5-11 senior outside hitter who will play collegiately at

Delaware, helped the Sailors advance to the CIF Division I-A

quarterfinals, where they were eliminated in four games by Huntington

Beach. Coach Dan Glenn’s Sea View League runners-up finished 16-10.

Govaars was a first-team all-league performer.

Courtney Schultz of Harvard-Westlake and Chrissie Zartman of Bishop

Montgomery shared MVP honors in Division III, while Drew Robertson from

Long Beach Poly and Mira Costa’s Brooke Donahue did the same in Division

I.
