ABINGTON FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW
Coach: Katie Small - 3rd year at Abington (10 years coaching)
Assistant coaches: Jamie Fitzgerald-Westphal, Bridget Anderson, Janine Larr
Last year’s record: 10-4 (SOL) 11-8 (overall) – Lost 1st round districts
Notable losses: Aileen Hughes, Olivia Geissler, Alaina Swift, Ellie Hughes
Key returners: Paige Doyle, Sr, M – Grace Kirwin, Sr, B – Mikayla Kizel, Sr, B
Others to watch: Camryn Stewart, F, F – Erica Devlin F, M -
Strengths/Question Marks: “Abington returned, again this year without a goalie. Sophomore Marilynn Capps has been training hard in the offseason and during preseason and we are hopeful she will fill the role nicely.”
Outlook: “Abington is looking to get a first round District win this year. The team came into camp in shape, excited and ready to start training to achieve this goal. With the graduation of nine seniors last year, including two-time first team all-league player Aileen Hughes, we have some holes to fill. We will be looking to La Salle commit, Paige Doyle and seniors Mikayla Kizel and Grace Kirwin to step up and lead the team this year. We are looking forward to some strong competition this year in the American Conference and SOL.”
