University. She posted 13 kills and 10 digs in a sweep of Hastings (Neb.) College and tallied 22 kills, 20 digs, and five blocks in a four-set win over previously unbeaten St. Ambrose. Albrecht was named to the All-Tournament Team as she led the Lady Cougars to a 12-1 set record by averaging 4.85 kills, 3.85 digs, and 0.77 blocks.

On the season, Albrecht leads MVNU in kills (130), kills per set (4.06), and aces (9). She has also compiled 117 digs, 23 blocks, and 10 assists. Albrecht has moved into sixth place on the Lady Cougars' career kills list with 1,807. She also now ranks eighth in career digs (1,729).
