Outlook: “Our co-captains Ashley Reilly, Anessa Rohrer, Leanna Schenck and Sydney Steiner (Marywood University commit) will provide leadership and support for our team. Our team worked hard over the volunteer winter workouts and the last few weeks day to day to get ready for the season. We are optimistic that we can continue build upon 2021 with a better overall record and a culture that Abington High School will be proud of.”
