MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (2-21-2012) - Sierra Fletcher, a member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University women's basketball team, has been selected to the Mid-Central College Conference Second Team by the vote of the conference coaches.

Fletcher, a senior guard from Utica, Ohio, has been among the conference leaders in numerous statistical categories all season. The former Utica High School star leads the MCC in steals (80), ranks fourth in 3-pointers made (54), fifth in 3-point percentage (34.4), fifth in free throw percentage (80.6), fifth in assists (92), and sixth in scoring (13.1 ppg). She has also grabbed 100 rebounds and leads the Lady Cougars in minutes played per game (28.8).

Fletcher has helped lead MVNU to a 16-12 overall record that includes a current five-game winning streak to close the regular season and earn the team a vote in the most recent NAIA Division II poll. The Lady Cougars finished MCC play with an 8-10 conference mark to earn the No. 7 seed in the MCC Tournament that gets under way tonight. MVNU travels to No. 2 seed Bethel (Ind.) College for a 7 p.m. first round tip against the NAIA Division II No. 18 Lady Pilots (20-9). The winner of tonight's game will face the winner of the game between No. 3 seed Huntington (Ind.) University and No. 6 seed Marian (Ind.) University on Friday at 7 p.m. in the MCC Tournament semifinals.
