She spent two seasons at George Mason after that, setting the school record with seven 3-pointers in a game. Overall, her 131 career 3-pointers are currently the 11th most in Patriots history.

Once she graduated from George Mason, Abston used her final year of eligibility to transfer to Emporia State for the 2015-16 season, leading the Hornets with 13.0 points and 5.9 rebounds per game en route to a 28-6 record, an MIAA Championship and a Sweet 16 appearance.

Abston also played internationally for TV Saarlouis Royals in the first division in Germany. Ten years prior, Abston was part of the Swedish National Team for seven seasons. She played in the Euro Cup from 2008-10 and became a Swedish National Champion with 08 Stockholm in 2010.
