NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

zumFelde

HARRISONBURG, Va. — 2011 Bethany graduate Marla zumFelde will be taking her talents to Eastern Mennonite University and continuing her academic and basketball careers there, according to information released by the university today. After finishing her Bruin career with 897 points, third-most in school history, zumFelde joins a nine-person recruiting class at Eastern Mennonite, which graduated just two seniors from last year's team.

In addition to her scoring marks, zumFelde trails only 2008 graduate Kari Heusinkveld (88) with 85 career games played; she is also among the top five in school history in free-throw percentage, field-goal percentage, and three-point percentage as well as total attempts mad in all three of those categories. In her senior season, the 5'10" guard sank 67 of 87 foul shots, a rate of 77.0 percent that trails only Heusinkveld and Jill Troyer for best ever in a season.

Eastern Mennonite, a four-year liberal arts university affiliated with Mennonite Church USA, competes in Division III of the NCAA and the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. The women's volleyball team finished 15-11 in 2010-11, losing to Washington & Lee University in the ODAC quarterfinals. The Royals are coached by 1993 EMU graduate Kevin Griffin, the 2006-07 ODAC coach of the year, who will begin his seventh season at the helm this fall.
