MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (9-25-2008) - Jackie Albrecht, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s volleyball team, has been selected as the National Christian College Athletic Association Player of the Week for her performance in matches played during the week of September 15-21.

Albrecht, a sophomore middle hitter from Lexington, Ohio, led the Lady Cougars to a 3-2 record for the week that included a second-place finish out of seven teams at the Taylor (Ind.) University Invitational. The former Mansfield Christian School star posted double figures in both kills and digs in all five matches and averaged 3.71 kills, 4.24 digs, and 0.52 blocks per game during the week. She had 21 kills against both Taylor and Trinity International (Ill.) University and her high dig match came with 24 against Taylor in a win.

On the season, Albrecht leads MVNU in kills (276) and digs (255) and is second in blocks (58). She is averaging 3.94 kills and 3.64 digs per game and is serving at a .957 clip. She also leads the Lady Cougars with a .945 serve reception percentage with just 12 errors in 220 serve reception attempts.

MVNU is currently 13-5 overall and 0-2 in the American Mideast Conference. The Lady Cougars, who received votes in the latest NAIA poll, will be back in action on Thursday night with a conference match at Notre Dame College that is slated to get under way at 7:00 p.m.
