With three fourths of last year’s team lost to graduation, Abington Girls Varsity Coach Kate Casey had to start from scratch and rebuild her team this year, putting people in new positions and trying her best to make the strongest team possible.

During an interview with the coach, we found out how much this season has differed from last year’s. She lost 12 players out of the 18 on her roster, meaning that she had a lot of holes to fill. “We have a tight knit group. There is a lot of teamwork,” said Coach Casey.

At the beginning of the season, the team had hoped to qualify for the tournament, but unfortunately that did not work out. There have been some hard fought games and some bright spots like a 4-0 win against Monomoy on October 15, but, as the team prepares to lose three strong seniors in Abigail Magnussen, Team Captain Marianna Porcello, and Samantha Thompson, Coach Casey will soon be looking ahead, and working with Junior Varsity Coach Jillian Earle to scout and prepare for next season.
