Strengths/Question Marks:  “Team chemistry, senior leadership and promising younger players are the strengths of the Abington program at this point.  Lizzie Lloyd decided to study abroad in Germany for her senior year.  She was the force on the mound for the past three years.  Nikki Ray will have to step up and take the reins. If the junior can fill those shoes, the Ghosts should be in every game.”

Outlook:  “The Ghosts have been working hard for the 2015 season since September.  The team's goal is to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2009.  If we continue to focus on the fundamentals, play one pitch at a time and keep getting better every day, we should be able to attain our goal.”
