2009-10. She was a two-time NAIA All-American, named to the third
team in 2008-09 and to the first team in 2009-10. Albers was the

finished the NAIA Division II National Runner-Up, averaging 17.7
points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 steals per game.
A native of Fort Loramie, she graduated from Fort Loramie High School

in 2012. Pleiman has been a part of the Versailles Health Care
Center Therapy Team since November 2014.
Pleiman and her husband, Jordan, live in Fort Loramie with their two
children. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her
family, reading, running, and attending Fort Loramie athletic and
community events.
“It is such an honor to be inducted into the Shawnee State University
Hall of Fame,” shared Pleiman. “I would like to thank my various
teammates over the years at SSU and Fort Loramie High School who helped
me make it to the Hall of Fame. It definitely was not a sole
effort but required the help of all of them. This same teamwork
is what I love about working at Versailles Health Care Center.
Our therapy department works together as a team for the best outcomes
for our patients.”
When asked about Pleiman, Facility Rehab Director, Shannon Condon, said
“Mallory has been an excellent addition to our team. Her sense of
teamwork and flexibility sets her apart as a leader among leaders. She
is well respected by her peers and loved by her inpatients and
outpatients. We are all very proud of her accomplishments, on and off
the basketball court.”
