Notable: Coronado finished the 2025 season 19-0, posting wins against the top-ranked teams in Virginia, Illinois and Massachusetts. The Islanders won the Open Division title and were ranked No. 1 in the West and No. 23 in the country. \u00a0Coronado returns much of its core in 2026, including first-team All-CIF Brooklyn Parma, Maria Anaya, Brooke Dunn and Sydney Dunn. \u2026 Cathedral Catholic finished as runner-up in the CIF Open Division for the second time in the last three years.\u00a0 Lily Raiszadeh, Lia Palecek and Lyla Palecek all return, meaning the Dons figure to be one of the most well-balanced teams in the county. \u201cWe just have the next-woman-up mentality,\u201d coach Sydney Masaki said. \u2026 La Costa Canyon returns first-team All-CIF pick and Avocado Player of the Year\u00a0 Alexis Felago along with a bevy of sophomores, led by Sunday Nelson, Persephone Luebkeand Martha Hall.<\/p>\n
