Abington Boys' Lacrosse Preview

ABINGTON BOY’S LACROSSE PREVIEW

Coach:  Peter Burns, Third Year, 29-11 Career Record

Assistant coaches: Nate Malatin, Kevin Leech, Anthony Greco

Last year’s record:  14-6 overall. 10-0 in Suburban One National Conference

Notable losses: Cameron Leech (York College), Hunter Jones (Monmouth University), Joe Lomady (York College)

Key returners:  Connor Reed (SO./GOALIE), Casey Hesdon (JR./DEF), Joe Lindley (JR./DEF)

Others to watch:  John Petriccione (JR./ATT), Jim Lomady (JR./MID), Ryan Tuffy (JR./ATT), Kevin Fitzgerald (FR./LSM)

Outlook:  “Abington lost 425 points from last year's team due to graduation and injury. They have nine new starters with only Connor Reed in goal as a returning starter. The opportunity is there for several young players to step up and make an impact this season. The biggest question will be on the offensive side of the ball. How long will it take for the unit to gel?”
