MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (1-5-2011) - Sierra Fletcher, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women's basketball team, has been selected as the National Christian College Athletic Association Player of the Week for her performance during the week of December 27-January 1.

Fletcher, a 5-foot-5 guard from Utica, Ohio, led the Lady Cougars to an 88-79 win at the University of Cincinnati-Clermont in the team's only game of the week. The former Utica High School star poured in a season-high 27 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field, a 4-for-9 showing from three-point range, and a 7-for-11 performance at the charity stripe. She also dished out six assists, grabbed six steals, and snagged five rebounds in the win.

On the season, Fletcher has played in all 14 games with 13 starts and is averaging 12.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game for MVNU. She leads the Lady Cougars with 65 assists and 50 steals and she has nailed a team-best 20 three-pointers. She is shooting 39.7 percent from the field (56-for-141), 27.8 percent from three-point range (20-for-72), and 76.5 percent at the free throw line (39-for-51).

MVNU is currently 10-4 overall and 2-2 in the American Mideast Conference. The Lady Cougars will return to action on Saturday with a 4 p.m. conference game at Houghton (N.Y.) College.
