Abigail Wright begins her fourth season as the head coach of the women's volleyball team at Georgia College & State University.

Wright is the second coach in GCSU volleyball history and joined the Bobcats after serving two seasons as the head women's volleyball coach at NCAA Division II Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina.

Wright led the Bobcats to their first winning season since 2018 when they advanced to the semifinals of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament in 2025. She has coached one all-conference performer as well as the PBC Libero/Defensive Specialist of the Year Award (Alanis Bernis) in 2024 and the PBC Elite 18 Award winner (Lilly Swanson) in 2025. She has coached 15 PBC All-Academic honorees as well as seven more named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team in her time at GCSU. Her teams have also won the PBC Team Sportsmanship Award for volleyball twice.

In addition to her two years as head coach, Wright also served one year as the assistant women's volleyball coach at Lees-McRae. During her three seasons at the Conference Carolinas program, Wright coached four all-conference performers as well as a Freshman of the Year. Her teams received the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award during both of her seasons as head coach. She also spent three years as an assistant coach for the men's volleyball program.

Prior to her time at Lees-McRae, Wright was a graduate assistant coach at King (Tenn.) University, working with both the men's and women's teams while completing a master's degree in business administration. 

Wright is making her return to the Peach Belt Conference as she completed the first two years of her playing career at Columbus State University. After two years at CSU, she transferred to Mars Hill University to complete her volleyball career as a setter and right-side hitter. A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Wright earned her bachelor's degree from Mars Hill in business administration.
