Outlook: The Warriors have a chance to win their first Sea View League title since 1984, but they first must contend with Corona del Mar and Newport Harbor. “I’m hoping we can give [Corona del Mar] a challenge this year,” Willett said. “It will depend on how my doubles teams perform.” Outside of Exon, who defeated Corona del Mar’s Nina Vaughan twice last year, Woodbridge’s singles is suspect. But Willett said she likes what she’s seen of Tenerelli.
