Setter Corie Bain named as the 2011 Daily Breeze Player of the Year
Corie Bain is the terrific setter of Mira Costa girls’ volleyball team, which is also known as the Mustangs.
The Mira Costa squad spent a successful season and stayed on top of the game in the region. Mira Costa High School volleyball team stood at the best team in Southern Bay, while Bain played an instrumental role in team’s success. She made the most of her
opportunity to lead Mustangs throughout the season. As a token of appreciation, she was recently named as the 2011 Daily Breeze Player of the Year.
She served as a ringleader for her team and always displayed prolific action on the net. She helped the team to finish the season with an overall record of 20-11. She proved her endeavours with strong passing and also emerged as the tall blocking setter.
Bain chased down almost any pass her backline gave her.
The Head Coach of Mira Costa volleyball program, Lisa Zimmerman, praised the great work of Bain. She stated, “Bain had an amazing season. She led a team of good players, but made them all better and found ways to motivate on the court and create winners
out of them.”
The team coach further added, “She is an example of someone who is passionate about Costa volleyball. It's not just about playing volleyball in the South Bay for her. She works hard on her own, does her best on her club team and enjoys playing in that green
and gold uniform.”
Bain comes from a volleyball family as her brothers Peter and Kameron were standout setters for the vaunted boys’ volleyball program. Likewise, her cousin Renee Siemak was a top middle blocker for the storied girls program. She herself has a lot of passion
for the sport of volleyball and her talent as a setter is acknowledgeable.
Bain deserved to be named as the Player of the Year. She expressed joy on getting the award and also shared her favourite moment of the year. She remembered Redondo vs. Mira Costa match, which was played in October 2011 when the Mustangs clean swept the
opponent. She put up a valiant effort in allowing her team to win and remembered that particular match as her best performance in 2011.
