MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (3-27-2008) - Candace White, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s fastpitch softball team, has been selected as the National Christian College Athletic Association Player of the Year for her performance in games during the week of March 17-23.

White, a junior pitcher from Gahanna, Ohio, posted a 3-1 record for the week with a 1.17 ERA and one save. In 24 innings of work, the former Gahanna Lincoln High School standout struck out 23 batters and issued just four walks. She tossed a five-hit shutout in a 10-0 victory over Macalester (Minn.) College and also earned wins over Spring Arbor (Mich.) University and Geneseo (N.Y.) University. She also posted a save in a 6-3 victory over Spring Arbor to close out the week.

On the season, White has posted a 4-2 record with a 2.04 ERA and two saves. In 37.2 innings of work, she has struck out 37 batters and issued 11 walks. Opposing batters are hitting .264 against her and she has completed all five games that she has started while leading the team with eight appearances in 12 games.

MVNU, which has won six straight games, is currently 9-3 overall. The Lady Cougars are scheduled to return to action on Friday at 4:00 p.m. when they will host Kenyon College in a non-conference doubleheader.
