FLUSHING, N.Y. – Senior middle blocker Jovana Pavlovic put down 18 kills and hit .472 Tuesday night at Fitzgerald Gymnasium, leading the Queens College volleyball team to a 3-0 sweep over visiting Bloomfield College (25-15, 25-16, 25-17) in non-conference action.

Pavlovic (Belgrade, Serbia) added two aces and two assisted blocks for the Knights (6-15), while senior Stephanie Schroeder (Lynbrook, N.Y.) filled the stat sheet with 25 assists, one ace, a match-high three assisted blocks and six digs. Junior outside hitter Suzanne Byrne (Richmond, B.C.; team-high eight digs, five kills) and sophomore Erin Eckes (Oconomowoc, Wis.) served up three aces apiece in the victory.

Queens scored seven of the first eight points of the opening set, before the Deacons (7-14) came back to take a 12-11 lead. From there, though, the Knights ripped off 14 of the last 17 points of the set to take a 1-0 advantage in the match.

A six-point swing in the second stanza turned a 5-3 QC deficit into a 9-5 advantage, and the hosts never looked back in winning by nine points.

In closing out the match, eight straight points off serving by Pavlovic lifted Queens to a 14-8 advantage. The lead got as high as nine points at 20-11 off a block from freshman Christina Hickey (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) and Eckes, as the Knights won at Fitzgerald Gymnasium for the third-consecutive match.

Head coach Leanna Taylor's Queens side will look to continue its home momentum Thursday night, as it welcomes East Coast Conference foe, New York Institute of Technology to Fitzgerald for a 7 p.m. first serve.
