Beating a treeman in 800pts

Hi,
my gaming group is having a league where each gaming session the army sizes go up by 100pts each time. I should also point out that the size of your army also depends on how you've gone so far on the day. The list below shows the effect of your results.
Min Army Size: 800pts
Max army size: 890pts
Massacre: +35
Win: +30
Draw: +25
Loss: +20
e.g. if you've played 2 games and with a loss in the first and a win in the second you'd have 850pts.
Anyway I need a list that will be competitive against a wood elf player who is pretty much certain to take a treeman in 800pts
Here's what I came up with, but I'd like to see if D.net can do better.
Heroes
Sorceress, Level 2, Lifetaker --- 160pts
Core
10 RXBs with shield, muso ---- 125pts
10 RXBs with shield ---- 120pts
Special
2 Cold one Chariots with spears --- 194pts
Rare
2 Repeater Bolt throwers --- 200pts
Total: 799pts.
If I end up playing some other games first I'd add the following: Tome of Furion for the sorceress, +4 crossbowmen between the units and full command to the first RXB unit (borrowed from spearelf models).
I generally like to plan an army for the minimum size with these gaming days and just increase numbers of units if my points allowance increases as opposed to completely changing my army.
I should mention too the other models I have to work with, so I don't get useless advice: Another foot sorceress, 2 nobles on foot, 5 Dark riders w/ Muso & RXbs, 20 spearelves w/ full command, 16 Corsairs w/ full command, 17 witch elves w/ banner & hag, 5 shades.
