CHAMPAIGN – An injury has ended Ashley Edinger's record-setting volleyball career at Illinois.

An MRI test this week on the senior libero's left knee revealed a season-ending ACL tear, the school announced Wednesday. Edinger, the Illini's career digs leader, was injured Saturday during the third set of a Big Ten match at Purdue.
