LILJ Girls All-Winter League Teams
The 2022-2023 LILJ Girls HSWL was filled with many top tier varsity teams on the island as well as elite level club teams and JV teams showcasing the depth that programs have. With the winter league having come to an end and a bevy of players who played at a high level, the LILJ has put together a first and second All-Winter League Team along with honorable mentions. Despite some players not being able to play in every game, in the small sample size that they were on the field, they had a tremendous impact on the game and were still eligible for either of the teams. Each team has been created based on position and graduating year between the classes of 2023-2026. Check out each All-Winter League Team down below!
