The San Jose State Spartans women’s volleyball team earned a 3-1 victory over the New Mexico Lobos as they continue to compete under a shroud of controversy over having a transgender athlete on their roster.

Blaire Fleming, the player in question, led the match with 18 kills. Brooke Bryant added 14, while Eda Koker, Emma Testi and Brooke Slusser each had nine.

One of Fleming’s kills in the third set caused a stir on social media. The Spartans led 13-11 at this point in the set as the two teams put together a nice rally. San Jose State set up Fleming for the spike, and she nailed one from the Lobos’ libero.

The ball appeared to bounce off either the Lobos player’s face or chest. The momentum threw her backwards and she fell to the ground. The point went to the Spartans.

The piece caused a stir on social media.

NEVADA COLLEGE SAYS THE VOLLEYBALL MATCH AGAINST THE SCHOOL WITH TRANSGENDER PLAYERS WILL NOT BE CANCELED DUE TO STATE LAWS

Last week, a similar play against San Diego State drew attention after it appeared Fleming’s tip hit an opponent in the face. However, San Diego State said that was not the case.

“It was incorrectly reported that a San Diego State University student-athlete was struck in the face with a volleyball during a game against San Jose State University,” the school said. “The ball bounced off the student-athlete’s shoulder and the athlete was uninjured and did not miss a play.”

Fleming’s addition to the San Jose State women’s volleyball teams has sparked a lot of controversy, leading to the teams deciding to forfeit games and one of Fleming’s teammates filing a lawsuit against the NCAA.

Mountain West Conference Commissioner Gloria Nevarez said the controversy broke her heart.

“It breaks my heart because it’s people, young people, student-athletes on both sides of this issue that are getting a lot of negative attention on a national level,” she said. “It just doesn’t feel right to me.”
