SANTA ANA, Calif. – Mikelle Taylor and Kassandra Murillo have both been named to All-Orange Empire Conference teams after having a record-setting year for the Santa Ana College Volleyball team.
Taylor, a sophomore outside hitter from Valencia High School, was named First Team All-OEC. She led the Dons in kills with 309 on the season, breaking her own record of 255 set last year. Taylor ranked third in the conference in kills and recorded 260 digs, which was good for eighth best in the OEC.
The OEC named Murillo to its All-Conference Second team for her dominant play at the net. The sophomore middle blocker out of Loara High School was fourth in the conference in blocks with 66, breaking the previous school record of 58. Murillo was also tied for the team lead in aces with 39 to go along with 112 kills to cap off her last season with the Dons.
The Santa Ana College Volleyball team concluded their season on Wednesday with a loss at Cypress to bring their record to 10-15 overall and 3-13 in the OEC. Taylor and Murillo will transition to beach volleyball where they hope to collect more awards.
