Albrecht, 5-foot-10 sophomore middle hitter from Lexington, Ohio, averaged 3.73 kills, 3.60 digs, 0.87 blocks, and 0.33 aces per set for the week as the Lady Cougars went 5-0 with five straight three-set sweeps - all on the road - and captured the program’s 17th National Christian College Athletic Association East Region title in the past 18 years. The former Mansfield Christian High School standout had double-doubles against Ohio Dominican University (11 kills, 15 digs) and Roberts Wesleyan (N.Y.) College (16 kills, 12 digs) and also hammered 13 kills against Geneva (Pa.) College to go with 14 digs against Malone University. She posted a .391 attack percentage for the week, successfully handled 44 serve reception attempts without an error, and served at a .986 clip with just one error in 72 serve attempts.

On the season, Albrecht leads MVNU in kills (470) and digs (434) while playing in 125 of the team’s 126 sets. She is serving at a .963 clip and has posted a team-leading .953 serve reception percentage and a team-best .330 attack percentage. She has also recorded 110 blocks and 39 aces.

For her career, Albrecht has already registered 874 kills and 825 digs in less than two full seasons as she attempts to become the first sophomore in school history to top both 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs.

MVNU is currently 28-7 overall and 6-3 in the American Mideast Conference. The Lady Cougars, who received votes in the latest NAIA poll, will return to action on Saturday with a conference tri-match at Carlow (Pa.) University starting at 1:00 p.m. against the University of Rio Grande with a 3:00 p.m. match against host Carlow to follow.
