Christine Phillips (Volleyball, 1994 & 1995): Over two seasons, Phillips racked up the postseason honors while leading LBCC to its greatest finish ever at the state championships. As a freshman in 1994, she was named first-team All-South Coast Conference and All-Southern California. But Phillips truly stood out in 1995. As team MVP and captain, she helped lead the Vikings to a state championships runner up finish. That season, she was named SCC Player of the Year, All-Southern California, All-State, and also became LBCC’s first-ever All-American. Following LBCC, she played two seasons at the University of Texas-Pan American. While at UTPA, she left her name in the record book, ranking first in aces in a game (10), second in season aces (60), and third in career aces. Phillips returned to LBCC and served as head coach of the Vikings for three seasons (2003-05), leading Long Beach to the playoffs twice.
