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 Lindsay Stein has decided to further her education and continue her basketball career at MVNU.

Stein, a 5-foot-7 sophomore guard from Dayton, Ohio, has decided to transfer to MVNU from Indiana Wesleyan University, where she did not play basketball as a freshman. As a senior at Dayton Christian High School, Stein averaged 13.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 48.3 percent from the field and 78.3 percent at the free throw line. For her efforts as a senior, Stein was named to the Metro Buckeye Conference First Team, the District 15 First Team, the Dayton Daily News Second Team, and the All-Southwest Ohio Third Team.

"I am very happy that Lindsay has decided to transfer to MVNU after a year at Indiana Wesleyan,” said MVNU head coach Steve Gregory. "She comes from a very successful high school program in Dayton Christian and really had an outstanding season in 2005-2006.”

"Lindsay hit it off with our players the moment she walked into an open gym,” Gregory added. "She’s got a pleasant personality along with an infectious smile. Added to that, she is not afraid to get down and dirty on the basketball court. She has also excelled in the classroom and will be a great all around addition to not only our program but our campus community as well.”

In addition to playing basketball at Dayton Christian, Stein was the valedictorian of her class and a member of National Honor Society.

"There are several reasons why I chose MVNU,” said Stein of her college choice. "It is a private Christian school with nice small class sizes that allow for a lot more one-on-one attention with professors. All of the people at MVNU are really welcoming and friendly, especially the girls on the basketball team. I feel at home with the Christian atmosphere that MVNU has.”

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