4/3/2026 8:03:00 PM | Men's Volleyball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's volleyball team defeated Queens in four sets (25-17, 22-25, 25-20, 26-24) on Friday night (April 3) to complete the season sweep over the Lions.
The Mastodons hit 10 service aces for just the second time this season, along with a hitting percentage over .400 in three of the four sets in the contest.
The 'Dons started off round two firing, hitting five service aces and a .625 hitting percentage in the frame. Purdue Fort Wayne used an early 11-1 scoring stretch, fueled by three aces from Vincent Spadoni and three kills by Ethan Skalski. The Mastodons cruised through the remainder of the set, taking the opening frame 25-17.
Queens opened the second set with a 9-3 run, including a stretch of four unanswered points. Despite the 'Dons hitting .462 in the set, The Lions' match-high .417 hitting percentage held off any attempt for a 25-22 set equalizer.
The Lions scored an early five unanswered in the third set, owning a 9-4 lead. Purdue Fort Wayne responded with a 9-2 run, leaning on another three kills from Skalski. The Mastodons put Queens away with a 7-2 run, finishing the frame at 25-20.
The 'Dons threatened to run away with the final set early, owning a 13-6 lead following a 10-2 Purdue Fort Wayne run. The Lions used scoring surges of 8-2 and 6-1 to even the score at 24-24. The Mastodons were able to end the match shortly after, winning 26-24 after two Queens errors.
Freshmen Skalski (19) and Spadoni (15) led the match in kills. Spadoni also added four service aces. Joaquin Jones notched 42 assists in his first career start.
No. 20 Purdue Fort Wayne climbs to 11-10 on the year, 6-8 in MIVA play. Queens falls to 6-19 for the season, 1-15 in MIVA play. The 'Dons finish out regular season MIVA play by hosting No. 9 Loyola Chicago (April 9) and No. 16 Lewis (April 11) at the Gates Sports Center.
