written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (11-7-2009) - For the third straight week, Mount Vernon Nazarene University women’s volleyball player Jackie Albrecht has been selected as the American Mideast Conference Player of the Week as she was honored this time for her performance during the week of October 26-November 1.

Albrecht, a junior middle hitter from Lexington, Ohio, led the Lady Cougars to a 3-0 record for the week that included a trio of sweeps as she averaged 4.11 kills, 3.44 digs, 0.56 aces, and 0.56 blocks. In a conference sweep of Notre Dame College, the former Mansfield Christian High School star pounded 16 kills to go with 12 digs and four aces. She added 10 kills and 10 digs in a non-conference sweep of NCAA Division II Kentucky State University, and then she closed the week with 11 kills and nine digs in a sweep at Cincinnati Christian University.

On the season, Albrecht leads MVNU and ranks seventh in the NAIA with 516 kills. She has also compiled 506 digs, 77 blocks, and a team-best 47 aces. She has already moved into eighth place in school history with 1,558 career kills and she ranks 13th with 1,480 career digs.

The Lady Cougars are currently 33-7 overall and finished second in the AMC with a 10-2 mark. MVNU, which has won 13 straight matches, will host the five-team AMC Tournament on November 13-14. The Lady Cougars’ first match will be in the semifinals on November 14 at 11:00 a.m. against the winner of the match between the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds that will take place on Friday. The seeding and complete tournament bracket will be released early next week. The winner of the AMC Tournament receives an automatic berth into the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round on November 21.
