written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - The Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s basketball team has signed another important recruit for the 2007-2008 season as Kim BeVier has decided to further her education and continue her basketball career at MVNU.

BeVier, a 5-foot-5 guard from Pataskala, Ohio, averaged 15.5 points and 3.5 rebounds as a senior at Licking County Christian Academy as she became the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,464 career points. She also registered 84 steals, 57 assists, and 14 blocked shots in 21 games as a senior, and she holds the school records for points in a game (46), points in a season (550), and three-pointers made in a game (9).

"Kim comes to MVNU after having a very successful senior campaign,” said MVNU head coach Steve Gregory. "We are happy that she has made MVNU her college choice. She will be a very good fit for us academically, athletically, and spiritually.”

"Kim has had the opportunity to play with us in open gym this spring and is a very good perimeter shooter,” Gregory added. "She played the point guard position in high school and will compete at both the point and shooting guard positions in college.”

In addition to playing basketball at Licking County Christian, BeVier was a two-time All-Conference selection in volleyball. She was also an Honor Roll student.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said BeVier of her college choice. "It has a great atmosphere and I have good friends there. I know I will be kept on the right track and continue to learn about God. It is close to home and is a small campus. MVNU has a good academic program and a good basketball program with good competition. Overall, I just wanted a Godly environment and I know I will find it at MVNU.”

The Lady Cougars, who are an NAIA Division II school, finished the 2006-2007 season with an 11-17 overall record.
