Coach King is looking for Abernathy to bring a lot to next year's team, "Charli has the ability to play any spot on the grass and play them well. We will be looking for someone to step up and lead in the outfield. Charli comes from great high school program, so we expect her to be able to bring that competitive fire to this program.
