Girls Volleyball Team Caps Season with Player of the Year and Coach of the Year Honors

Island Pacific Academy’s Lady Navigators wrapped up an outstanding season with major division recognitions — highlighting the dedication, teamwork, and leadership that define our program.

Senior, and team captain, Thayleah Hall ʻ26 was named Division 3 Player of the Year, a well-deserved honor reflecting her skill, work ethic, and the positive leadership she brought to the court. In a recent interview, she shared how volleyball has shaped her:

“IPA has taught me to become a leader. And it could be challenging, but they have taught me you are a leader, you can do it, you can push it, and it’s such a great opportunity when you have an amazing team. They uplift you whenever you’re down, and also encourage you as a leader.”

Head Coach Deena Resentes was also recognized as Division 3 Coach of the Year, celebrating her commitment to developing players of character and guiding the team through a competitive season.
