Three members of the Mount Vernon Nazarene College women's basketball team were recently honored when the National Christian College Athletic Association All-East Region teams were announced.
Anne Nussbaum, a 5-foot-6 senior guard from Mount Vernon, Ohio, was selected to the NCCAA All-East Region First Team.

Nussbaum has also nailed 48 three-pointers this year, and twice has tied the school's single-game mark by making seven treys.
Shelly Aldrich, a 5-foot-7 senior guard from Marion, Ohio, was named to the NCCAA All-East Region Second Team. The former star at Marion Harding High School is MVNC's leader in three-pointers made (59) and is tied with Nussbaum for the team lead in steals (76). Aldrich has also recorded 89 assists and is shooting 84 percent from the free throw line (68-of-81). She averages 11.7 points per game.
