Outlook: University benefited from a logjam at Woodbridge that left the Biorkman brothers looking for a new place to play. “I looked up and they were transferring into the school,” Boyer said. “My policy is, if you win, you can play as a freshman.” With Seid and the Biorkman brothers in singles and Ling in doubles, the Trojans should run away with the Pacific Coast League, which is down. A tough nonleague schedule that includes Sunny Hills should prepare University for a decent playoff run.
