Season Outlook: Lancaster Bible lost five players from last year's squad, but gained eight players, many of whom should have an immediate impact...The Chargers have made it to at least the NEAC Semifinals in all three of their NEAC seasons and will look to replicate their 2012 season when they won the conference championship...The Chargers' six seniors are some of the most successful players to ever come through the program and will look to end on a high note...The games at Penn St. Berks and Penn St. Abington will likely be the most important if history is any indication, while making two trips to New York is also a difficult task...The Chargers have had a winning record in every season since 2010 and there is no reason to indicate that won't happen again.
