Notes

Defending CIF San Diego Section Open Division champion San Marcos should again be stellar behind reigning player of the year Josie Willis, who returns for her senior season.

• Patrick Henry is another team to watch. The Patriots won the section Division 1 title, then shut out their next three opponents by a combined score of 12-0 to claim the SoCal Regional Division 3 title. The Patriots return eight starters, including All-CIF first-teamer Emma Cunningham, and will receive a boost from second-team All-CIF selection Annabel Grentz, a transfer from San Diego High.
