written by Dave Parsons, Sports Information Director

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (10-13-2010) - Lauren Percival, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women's volleyball team, has been selected as both the American Mideast Conference Player of the Week and the National Christian College Athletic Association Player of the Week for her performance during the week of October 4-10.

Percival, a sophomore setter from Elyria, Ohio, led the Lady Cougars to a 2-0 week with a pair of AMC sweeps to extend the team's winning streak to 10 straight matches. She averaged 11.67 assists, 5.67 digs, 1.00 kills, and 0.67 blocks for the week while posting a .400 attack percentage.

In a sweep of Ursuline College, the former Amherst Steele High School star handed out 29 assists while matching her career high with three blocks and posting 21 digs. Percival, who was the NCCAA National Player of the Week for the second straight week and the first setter to earn AMC Player of the Week honors this fall, finished the week with 41 assists in a sweep of Houghton (N.Y.) College – the most assists for her in a three-set match this year.

On the season, Percival has played in all 102 sets for MVNU and has posted 1,048 assists. She is tied for the team lead with 33 aces, ranks second on the team with 386 digs, and has registered 27 blocks and 61 kills.

The Lady Cougars, who received votes in the latest NAIA poll, are currently 27-2 overall and 5-0 in the AMC. MVNU, which has won 27 of its last 28 matches, will travel to Point Park (Pa.) University on Thursday for an important conference match at 7:30 p.m. The Lady Pioneers knocked the Lady Cougars out of the AMC Tournament last year.
