Avon Lake's Bridget Lyons has committed to Mount Union and continue her basketball career.

Lyons, a 5-10 forward, was an all-conference, all-district, all-county and team MVP selection for coach Frank Coughlin.

Mount Union, an NCAA Division III institution, is coming off one of its most successful seasons in school history as the Purple Raiders went 25-5, won the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament, advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament and finished ranked No. 13 in the nation.

Head coach Suzy Venet enters her sixth season on the bench in 2010-11 and was the WBCA Regional Coach of the Year this past season.
