ABINGTON BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Coach: Ryan Greer (First Year in Position)

Assistant coaches:  Brett Miller, Mike Gurenlian, MJ McGinn, Brett Greer

Last year’s record:  15-7 overall,  Suburban One National Conference Champion, missed state playoffs

Notable losses:  Anthony Greco (playing at Cabrini College)

Key returners: Ryan Ambler  (senior/attack), Chris Duffy (senior/defense), Austin Pifani (junior/defense), Travis O’Connor (senior/goalie), Matt Figueroa (senior/midfield), Josh Kluver (senior/ defense)

Others to watch:  Matt Lomady (senior/midfield), Shane Dunn (senior/midfield), Max Malloy (senior/attack), Brian Gallagher (soph/attack), Scott Speigel (senior/defenseman)

Strengths:  We have great senior leadership and should be strong on the defensive side of the ball. 

Outlook:  We are working hard to win the Suburban One National Conference and make a run at the PIAA State Title.  The team is working hard physically on the field and are open minded to the new coaching approach.  Right now I am really impressed with the blue collar work ethic of the team, and I know that the work ethic will allow us to  achieve our team goals. 

GAMES TO WATCH:  Right now our mentality is “Our next game is always our biggest game.”  Outside spectators would say our games to watch are: 03/23 vs Downingtown West, 03/27 vs Germantown Academy, 03/31 vs Ridley, 04/05 vs Downingtown East, our two games vs. Pennsbury on 04/13 and 05/01, 05/05 vs. Penn Charter and 05/11 vs. Garnet Valley.
