EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. – SIUE volleyball Head Coach Leah Johnson has added a pair of transfers to the roster for next season. Hilary Trevino (Hermann, Mo.) and Haley Norris (St. Charles, Ill.) will join the Cougars.

Trevino was a two-time All-State selection at Hermann High School. She led her team to the Class 2 state tournament title during the 2008-2009 season.
Norris, 5-4 defensive specialist, is transferring to SIUE from Northern Illinois. Norris played in eight sets last season for the Huskies during her freshman season.

"Haley is a kind and thoughtful person, a student-athlete of character. Her character is complimented by her skill sets; she has tremendous defensive instincts and a natural passing touch. She will be a great competitive addition to our program," Johnson said.
A member of the Kane Country Juniors, Norris helped her club team to first place at the 2011 Volleyball Festival as well as second place in 2009.
