The answer is no - of course not. Just shows how hard it is to win a championship. Simmons has done this with a total of
3 lower tier D1 players over those 4 years. Some stats I saw elsewhere below - but if Simmons can keep Westfield in the hunt every year - sooner or later they'll break through. Stone Bridge / Westfield have taken some criticism for being in decline - but it is really more the rise in other programs than anything else (5A Briar Woods, Broad Run, Tuscarora / 6A Centreville, Lake Braddock). And quite frankly that makes it much more interesting.
