CHAMPAIGN — Offseason transfers reshaped the Illinois volleyball roster after a Sweet 16 run in 2017 in Chris Tamas' first season as coach. One in particular — Tyanna Omazic to Missouri — left Illinois thin at middle blocker.
Tamas remedied that officially Thursday by adding transfer Ashlyn Fleming for the 2018 season. Fleming, a 6-foot-4 middle blocker, played the last two seasons at the University of the Pacific. The San Jose, Calif., native will have two years of eligiblity remaining.
"We are excited to announce the addition of Ashlyn to the program," Tamas said in a release.
