Starting in mid-March, the first chunk of the season is all about figuring out what you have and what holes you'll need to fill. Seven teams ranked in The Washington Post's preseason Top 10 enter the 2025 season fresh off of championship victories, but each will field fresh faces as they attempt to piece together another title run. Last year's All-Met Player and Coach of the Year have both departed — decorated coach Suzy Willemssen left top-ranked Bishop O'Connell this past offseason while No. 2 Woodgrove graduated ace Abbey Lane, now a pitcher at George Mason.
