BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – UAB head volleyball coach Amy Pauly announced the addition of Erica Schilling as the third member of the 2018 signing class on Friday morning.

"Erica checks all of the boxes you look for in a student-athlete," Pauly said. "She has been extremely successful in the classroom, played at a competitive level and is a proven winner. Being from Alabama, she has a passion for UAB and we are excited for her to join us and bring that energy to the team."
Schilling was named to the State All-Tournament Team in 2017, while also earning Defensive Player of the Year, Server of the Year and Passer of the Year from McGill-Toolen in 2017. In addition, she was named to the Mobile All-County and Catholic Cup All-Tournament Teams a year ago.
The Spanish Fort, Ala. native played as a libero for McGill-Toolen and for her club team, Lower Alabama Volleyball.
