"We are excited to bring Abbey back!," said Chattanooga FC Women Head Coach Juan Hernandez. "Her commitment to the team and club last year was exceptional. She is an essential player for us and the UTC Women's program, and she will play a key role in securing our backline. It’s always a great compliment to the club when local college players want to play for CFC."
