MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - For the second straight week, Shena Beheler, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s volleyball team, has been selected as the American Mideast Conference and NAIA Region IX Player of the Week this time for her performance in matches played from October 1-7.

Beheler, a 5-foot-10 senior middle hitter from Butler, Ohio, led the Lady Cougars to a 3-0 record for the week as she averaged 5.57 kills, 3.86 digs, and 1.57 blocks for the week with a .442 attack percentage. The former Fredericktown High School star pounded 17 kills with 11 digs and three blocks in a sweep at Shawnee State University. She added 18 kills, 11 digs, and six blocks in a sweep at the University of Rio Grande. Then, she recorded four kills, five digs, and two blocks in just one game as MVNU swept Central State University.

On the season, Beheler leads the Lady Cougars in kills (311) and blocks (110) and is second in aces (28) and digs (219). She has a team-best .329 attack percentage and a team-leading .943 serve reception percentage.

For her career, the two-time NAIA Honorable Mention All-American ranks second in school history in career kills (2,395) and blocks (847), fourth in career aces (189), and fourteenth in career digs (1,320).

MVNU is currently 20-1 overall and ranked 23rd in the latest NAIA national poll. The Lady Cougars are also 6-0 in the AMC South Division. The team will return to action on Thursday when MVNU will host Walsh University, the defending AMC South Division champs who also received votes in this week’s poll, in a conference match at 7:00 p.m. in the Physical Education Center.
