IVC Men's Team History and Records

The men's team began as a club squad in 1991 with Tom Pestolesi as the first coach. In 1993 the IVC mens team won the state tournament. The state championship team consisted of Jim Butchko, Zolti Czanyi, Randy Gilbert, Brian Godshaw, Ross Jacobsen, Kevin Karg, Jason Mikartz, Billy Nguyen, Eric Olsen, John Roche, Chris Seale and Martin Wagner. IVC is very proud of the fact that Brian Godshaw (Loyola Marymount), Billy Ngugen (University of the Pacific) Martin Wagner (Long Beach State) and Eric Olsen (George Mason) went on to compete in Division I College volleyball and obtain their degrees.

Irvine Valley reached the state tournament again in 2005, falling in the semifinal round to eventual champion Moorpark.

The Lasers made a return trip to the state tournament in 2006 after winning their second ever Orange Empire Conference title. Irvine Valley, which hosted the 2006 state event lost to Los Angeles Pierce in the semifinal round.

Irvine Valley won back-to-back conference and state titles in 2007 and 2008 behind state MVP Tyler Rex in 2007 and state MVP Peter Johnson in 2008.
