Albrecht, a 5-foot-10 native of Lexington, Ohio, was a four-year letterwinner on both the volleyball and basketball teams at Mansfield Christian. She was an All-Ohio Honorable Mention selection as a junior in volleyball before suffering a season-ending knee injury in the first volleyball match of her senior year. Despite the injury, she was still selected by the Mansfield News Journal as the top volleyball player in the area.

"We feel that we are adding a great person in Jackie,” said MVNU volleyball coach Paul Swanson, who became the NAIA’s all-time wins leader (810) during the 2006 season and has a 795-282 record in 23 years with the Lady Cougars. "She is a strong player who comes from strong high school and club programs. She will help our team on the court, but we are even more excited about her as a person. Her strong Christian character, interesting personality, and positive attitude will help our team become even more of a team.”

In basketball, Albrecht was also an All-Ohio Honorable Mention selection as a junior as she helped lead Mansfield Christian to a district runner-up finish by averaging 15.4 points and 8.7 rebounds while shooting 49.1 percent from the field. She returned from her knee injury to play in the final five games of her senior season and was named to the District 6 Honorable Mention list.

"Jackie is a very dedicated and disciplined player who has been blessed with great skills and tremendous athletic ability,” said MVNU women’s basketball coach Steve Gregory. "Not only is she a tremendous player and athlete, more importantly she is a great kid.”

"Jackie will be a two-sport athlete here at MVNU,” Gregory added. "There are not many people who could pull that off. However, she is one of the few that I think will excel in both sports. She is doing well academically and adds value to the teams that she plays on right now at the high school level. Not only will she be a great addition to our team, but she will add to our campus community as well.”

In addition to playing volleyball and basketball, Albrecht was a four-year letterwinner on the Mansfield Christian softball team. She also played on the Mid-Ohio Junior Olympics club volleyball team and she has been very active in her local church including taking a missions trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.  She also carries a 4.00 grade point average in the classroom.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Albrecht of her college choice. "It is close to home and it is a Christian college. When I am there, it feels like I’m with family. I also really like the atmosphere there, and I am looking forward to playing for both Coach Swanson and Coach Gregory.”

The MVNU volleyball team posted a 31-18 overall record in 2006 and advanced to the semifinals of the NAIA Region IX Tournament. The Lady Cougars have won more than 30 matches in 14 straight seasons. The MVNU women’s basketball team went 11-17 during the 2006-2007 season.
