ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Valkyries today announce that Abby Hansen has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the team. Last year was her first professional season after graduating from the University of Central Florida.
Hansen, a middle blocker, saw action in seven matches and totaled 16 sets in her debut season. Despite the limited play as a rookie, Hansen logged a total of 26 points on 19 kills and seven blocks and recorded six digs.
“I could not be more excited to return to the Orlando Valkyries!” said Hansen. “This is the ultimate fan base, team, and environment to play for. Once again, I go into this next season with gratitude and passion to cultivate success. I can’t wait to be back in Orlando with the team!”
“I'm thrilled to have Abby back in Orlando,” said Amy Pauly, head coach of the Valkyries. “She had moments in her rookie season that showed she certainly belonged in this league. I think we will see a breakout year and for her to have a bigger impact on our team.”
