All-Time Series

Postseason Picture
Abington has officially locked up the third seed in the upcoming United East Tournament despite the chance of finishing tied with Lancaster Bible College in the standings.  However, due to the 2-1 regular season record against the Chargers, the Nittany Lions own the tie-break if one is needed.
 
Next Up
Abington will wrap up the regular season with one single game against Harrisburg.  The game was supposed to be played this weekend but has been postponed due to inclement weather that is supposed to hit the region.  The game will be rescheduled to next weekend.  More information will be provided in the coming days.
