ABINGTON FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW

Coach:  Amanda McMahon (formerly Deering) - 8 years

Assistant coaches:Adele Kelly, Barbara O'Neill, Bridget Fogarty, Katie Frain

Last year’s record:5-13 (4-14 National Conference)

Notable losses: Jessica Moretti (playing at King's College); Maeve Hughes and Courtney Klug

Key returners:  Sam McGee - Junior Forward; Alyssa Herman - Senior Goalkeeper; Evangeline Wang - Senior Defender; Rebecca Markham - Senior Midfielder;

Others to watch:  Kaila Brown - Junior Forward; Sarah Boches - Junior Midfielder; Jackie Kizel - Junior Defender

Strengths/Question Marks:  “This year's squad has stronger individual talent than in the past, but in order to improve our record and make a mark in the National Conference, the team will need to continue to build upon their team play. The Lady Ghosts have been working hard in preseason practices, and I expect to have a stronger team by the end of the season.”

Outlook:  “The Lady Ghosts will be playing on the new Memorial Field AstroTurf this season for the majority of their home games. The new field will help the field hockey program continue to be more competitive in league and district play.”
