Corning is entering her third season as Fordham women's basketball's Director of Operations. Hers is a familiar name to Fordham women's basketball fans of recent years, having played four seasons for the Rams from 2011-14, three under Coach Gaitley, and helping lead the Rams to their first A-10 championship as a senior. Corning ranks fifth all-time with both 127 appearances and 107 starts, including all 98 contests over her final three years, and became the 17th player to score 1,000 career points in maroon and white, currently 11th all-time with 1,213 points, good for a 9.6 career average. She also ranks inside the top-10 for field goals made, three-point field goals made, three-point shooting percentage, assists, minutes, and rebounds.

Corning earned her MBA in Marketing at Fairfield University, working as a graduate assistant in Athletics Marketing and Promotions, before moving up to Marketing and Fan Experience Coordinator, a position she held for a little over one year before moving back to the Bronx.

"Abigail is one of, if not the, hardest working players I have ever coached. She has an incredible work ethic and her competitiveness is contagious. I'm looking forward to her carrying all those outstanding qualities to the coaching side." - Coach Gaitley.
