FRESNO STATE ACCOLADES
• Academic All-MW (2014)
• ASU Sheraton Invitational All-Tournament Team (2012)
2015 (SENIOR): Rounded out her collegiate career with six double-doubles ... the economics major from Belgrade, Serbia competed in 173 sets over a two-year span at Fresno State, seeing time on the court in all but three matches during her 2014 break-out season en route to 25 game starts ... as part of a two-person setting rotation, she accounted for a second-best of 375 assists (4.87 p/s) with 329 coming during Mountain West play ... from the service line, she added four aces to her career total of 13 with three multi-ace efforts over two seasons ... reset her career figures in 2015 with 7 kills (2x), 13 attempts, 2 aces (3x) and 4 blocks with additional game-highs of 46 assists, 17 digs and a hitting percentage of .625 ... her final 2015 season-best figures consist of 38 assists, seven digs (3x), four blocks and seven kills in 13 attempts during a five-set battle against San Diego State (Oct. 10) ... in addition to tallying 44 matches with a double-digit assist figure, the savvy setter has charted 24 multi-kill contests while contributing 32 blocks on defense ... was one of only five members off the 2015 roster to account for a 1,000 or more career figure, as she capped her two-year stint with 1,045 total attacks ... Jovanovic will graduate in December of 2016 and plans to stay in the United States, likely on the east coast, and find a job in her major field.
2014 (JUNIOR): The junior college transfer worked her way to become a starter in the Bulldogs 6-2 rotation ... overall, she started in 24 of the 29 matches she played in this season and led the team in assists with 670 (6.98 p/s) while placing third on the team in digs with 174 (1.81 p/s), second amongst non-liberos ... as a setter she posted five matches with 40+ assists, vs UC Davis (43), St. Francis (Bklyn.) (41), New Hampshire, St. John's (40), and New Mexico (41) ... assisted in the team's four .300+ hitting games against St. Francis (Bklyn) (.468), Dartmouth (.377), New Hampshire (.349) and New Mexico (.329) ... she logged a season-high 46 assists in four sets versus New Hampshire, while earning a season-high of 17 digs against the Wildcats ... earned six double-doubles, second most on the team, in games against Louisiana-Lafayette (36 assists, 13 digs), UC Davis (43 assists, 16 digs), New Hampshire (46 assists, 17 digs), St. John's (40 assists, 11 digs) , UNLV (28 assists 14 digs) and Utah State (26 assists, 16 digs) ... ended the season with 9 aces while completing two games with multiples aces on the match (vs San Diego State and New Mexico).
PRIOR TO FRESNO STATE: Arrives for fall of 2014 as a junior transfer after she started the last two seasons at Florida Atlantic, and the former team captain played all 56 of the team's matches the two years combined ... in 2013, she averaged 9.32 assists per set, and ranked second on the team and 18th in the Conference USA in aces (0.22 p/s) ... as a freshman, she led the team in both categories (9.11 assists / 0.29 aces per set) en route to sixth-place rankings in the Sun Belt Conference in each at season's end ... in prior years, her Serbian club squad claimed two national championship silver medals and one regional gold medal ... during the recruiting process, Fresno State coaches were impressed with her maturity and confidence ... her exposure to high level volleyball since a young age in Serbia, and previous Division I experience should help make for a quick transition.
