TOLEDO, Ohio - Head coach Jason Oliver announced on Tuesday the additions of Ella Abraham (Matthews, N.C.) and Maija Eglitis (Columbus, Ohio) to the Toledo women's volleyball program.
 
Abraham joins the Rockets after playing the last four seasons at Furman University, while Eglitis comes to UT following a standout prep career at Bishop Watterson.
 
Below is a look at the two newest members of the Toledo women's volleyball program:
 
Ella Abraham | 5-8 | Setter | Matthews, N.C. | Furman Univ.
 
Abraham started 17 of 22 matches she played at Furman last year, averaging a career-high 8.18 assists, 2.12 digs and 0.25 service aces per set. She collected a career-high 50 assists along with 10 digs vs. an undefeated Citadel squad (Oct. 13) and is a three-time member of the Southern Conference's All-Academic Team. Abraham was also named the Southern Conference's Setter of the Week last season after leading the Paladins to a home-and-home sweep of UNC Asheville.
 
Jason Oliver on Ella Abraham: "The transfer portal can be tricky for coaches and team chemistry, but in the case of adding Ella it was amazing. She possesses a level of maturity and a leadership ability that is not often seen in players. I am looking forward to Ella integrating into our program and really making an impact on and off the floor."
  
Maija Eglitis | 5-10 | Setter | Columbus, Ohio | Bishop Watterson High School

Eglitis helped Bishop Watterson to a 60-23 win-loss mark during her three-year career. She finished her career ranked second on the Eagles' all-time career assists list with 1,400. She earned Honorable-Mention All-Central District honors from The Columbus Dispatch as a senior and helped the Eagles to an OHSAA Division I state semifinal appearance as a junior.
 
Jason Oliver on Maija Eglitis: "Maija is a special recruit for me. She is a great player and has a great understanding of the game. I think she got that from her father who is my former teammate. That makes it easy to see how she will fit our program. I really am excited to see her growth over the next season. She will add so much to our culture of winning, and I know she will help us win a championship."
