As for the Sailors, they won the Division 2 title last season and have a new coach in Ross Sinclair, the Sailors boys’ water polo coach who also now handles the girls’ job after the resignation of Brian Melstrom. Newport Harbor is young, with four freshmen on varsity including Taylor Smith, who has been a goal-scoring leader early in the season. Seniors Kili Skibby, who is headed for UC Irvine, and Michigan-bound Annie Rankin also lead the Sailors, as well as UCLA-bound defender Brooke Banta, a transfer from Mater Dei who becomes eligible on Dec. 22.
