CHAMPAIGN — Taylor Edwards' signature eye-black look won't be making a return.
During her four seasons on the Illinois softball team, Edwards joked Wednesday that the team's equipment manager had grown accustomed to washing black stains out of her uniform.
That will change this winter, a welcomed sight for the equipment staff.
Edwards might be changing her countenance, but the recent University of Illinois graduate is also getting a chance to still have "Illinois" emblazoned across her uniform one last time.
This time, Edwards is joining Nancy Fahey's Illinois women's basketball team as a walk-on for the 2019-2020 season.
