In her two seasons with the Knights, Plummer appeared in 25 matches and scored one goal. At the conclusion of the 2019 campaign, the St. Mary, Jamaica native was honored as the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the AAC First Team All-Conference. Konya Plummer started 16 of 17 regular season matches and anchored a UCF back line that allowed just seven goals on the year.
Plummer will be around familiar faces as she transitions to the professional ranks, joining UCF women's soccer alumni Bridget Callahan and Carrie Lawrence on the Pride roster ahead of the 2020 season.
