JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The Queens University of Charlotte volleyball team traveled to Jefferson City Friday for the Carson-Newman Tournament. Facing off against the hosting Eagles and Lincoln Memorial, the Royals got off to a rocky start to the tournament falling 0-3 in both matches.

Featured in their offense was sophomore Brittany Harvey (Matthews, N.C., Sun Valley ) who tallied 14 kills and 3 blocks (one solo, two assists) on the afternoon. Directing the Royals with 31 assists was Erinn Moore (Longwood, Fla., Lake Mary), who also added three aces and eight digs. Freshman Sarah Malpass (Gainesville, Fla., Gainesville) continued to develop at libero, as she accumulated 13 digs for the Royals.
