written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (12-30-2009) - Jackie Albrecht, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s volleyball team, was recently recognized when the NAIA All-American Teams were announced.

Albrecht, a junior middle hitter from Lexington, Ohio, became only the third player in school history to be named to the NAIA All-American Second Team and the first junior as she joined former standouts Tara Seiter (1998) and Shena Beheler (2007). The former Mansfield Christian High School standout, who was an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American as a sophomore, led the Lady Cougars with 635 kills this year - the ninth highest single-season total in school history. Albrecht also posted 638 digs, 56 aces, and 95 blocks this year. For her career, she now ranks eighth in school history with 1,677 kills and ninth with 1,612 digs.

Among her many honors this season, Albrecht was the American Mideast Conference Player of the Week four times on her way to being named the AMC Player of the Year. She was also the National Christian College Athletic Association East Region Player of the Year as well as the NCCAA National Player of the Year as she made the NCCAA All-American First Team for the second straight season.

MVNU finished the 2009 season with a 37-10 overall record and a 10-2 American Mideast Conference mark. The Lady Cougars also finished as the NCCAA national runner-up for the second time in program history.
