SJSU trans player Blaire Fleming joins teammate Brooke Slusser on conference honors list amid lawsuits

Fox News' Claudia Cowan joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the ongoing legal battle over a San Jose State transgender volleyball player.

San Jose State's women's volleyball team had two players listed on the Mountain West's all-conference honorable mention list this year who are also on opposing sides of explosive lawsuits. 

Senior Blaire Fleming and Brooke Slusser were both on the list as well as Annie Kaminski and Kiki Remensperger from Boise State, San Diego State's Jasmine Davis, Basia Latos and Chloe Thomas from UNLV, Utah State's Kaylie Kofe and Wyoming's Sarah Holcomb.

Slusser is part of two lawsuits alleging the university and Fleming actively sought to prevent Slusser and other players on the team from knowing Fleming is a biological male.

On the court, Fleming and Slusser anchored one of the best offenses in the Mountain West.

The Spartans finished the regular season with the third-best hitting percentage in the conference. 

Slusser finished with a top 10 individual hitting percentage in the conference. 

Fleming was second in the conference in kills per set with a .386, still well behind Colorado State's Malaya Jones, who led the way at .457. 

Fleming had a signature moment in the second-to-last game of the season against first-place Colorado State at home on Senior Day. Fleming led the game in kills with 24 and total attacks and clinched victory in the fifth set with a match-point service ace. 

Right after the play, Fleming was swarmed by teammates in celebration. Even Slusser got
