Abington Friends School

About the Program: Girls Soccer began as a competitive interscholastic offering at Abington Friends in the mid-1990’s replacing Field Hockey as the primary fall team sport. Each season’s roster typically includes a mix of players who participated for AFS’s Middle School Girls Soccer teams and those who are new to AFS in the Upper School with all interested players, regardless of experience, able to find their appropriate place in the program. Recent AFS Varsity Girls Soccer alums have matriculated to all levels of intercollegiate soccer upon graduation. Head Coach of AFS Varsity Girls Soccer since 2019, Jessica Breuning was a multi-season All-League player at St. Hubert’s High School and Cabrini College prior to her coaching career.
