Outlook: Willett has her best group of freshmen to go with Biorkman. The Warriors should win the Sea View League and if the freshmen come through, they could challenge Dana Hills as the county’s best team in Division I. About the only downside is that most of Woodbridge’s talented players are young. Then again, most of them are tournament tough, and that should help the Warriors in those close matches.
