Lola Conway of Bishop’s, the CIF San Diego Section Player of the Year, returns for her sophomore season after helping her team win the Open Division title last November.

Teams throughout San Diego will try to figure out how to dethrone the Knights. The Western League will continue to be one of the strongest in the county. All four of last year’s Open Division semifinalists – Bishop’s, Cathedral Catholic, Scripps Ranch and La Jolla – came from the Western League.
