STORM LAKE, Iowa (March 4, 2026) - The American Rivers Conference All-Conference Women's Basketball Team was announced this afternoon, and Buena Vista has sophomore Bradi Krager named to the First Team with junior Mary Walker and freshman Adeeya Yanga both selected to the Second Team. Sophomore Tyme Boettcher was voted as an Honorable Mention selection.

Krager becomes a 2x all-conference performer after being voted to the Second Team as a freshman last season. The last Beaver to land a spot on the First Team was Olivia Larsen in 2020-21.

In 16 A-R-C games this season, Krager ranked eighth among all league players in scoring (15.1ppg), fifth in rebounding (7.4ppg), ninth in field goal percentage (.481), 10th in free-throw percentage (.767) eighth in steals (1.8) and third in minutes (33.4mpg). She scored in double figures in 13 of the 16 games and had four 20-point performances. In two games against the University of Dubuque, Krager registered a double-double in both meetings against the Spartans, including a 24-point, 12-rebound outing on Jan. 31 where she was 5-of-6 from downtown. During an overtime road win at Central on Jan. 24, Krager notched a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds to go along with four steals.

Walker and Yanga are both being recognized for the first time and give BVU at least three all-conference selections in the same season for the first time since 2004-05.

Walker transferred to Buena Vista this season after playing two years at the junior college level and quickly became among the A-R-C's most versatile players. She ranked 12th in the A-R-C in scoring at 12.0ppg and also grabbed 3.4rpg, dished out 2.0apg, chalked up 1.4apg and averaged over 32.0 minutes per game. Against Simpson on Dec. 9, Walker scored 21 points and hauled in four rebounds for the first of two 20-point performances. She also added 20 points, four rebounds and two assists in the regular season finale against Loras on Feb. 21. After being held in single digits in four straight games, she followed that stretch up as one of the top players down the stretch by averaging 18.0ppg over the final three regular season contests.

Yanga made her presence felt across the league throughout her first collegiate season. The 6'0" forward averaged 11.3ppg and 4.6rpg during conference play and led the A-R-C in blocked shots at 1.7bpg. She shot over 52 percent from the field and over 72.0 percent at the free-throw line. She scored in double figures in four of the final five regular season games, including 19 points and five rebounds as BVU completed a pivotal season sweep at Luther. Prior to that, she turned in 17 points and five boards during a tight home loss to league champion Wartburg College. Earlier in the season, Yanga turned in a career-high 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting at Loras College.

Boettcher, despite just missing out on all-conference accolades, ranked 13th in the A-R-C this season in scoring at 11.8ppg and was ninth in rebounding (6.4rpg) and fifth in steals (1.9spg). She shot just under 40.0 percent from the field and missed only one free-throw in conference play (22-of-23). In a home game at home against Dubuque on Jan. 31, Boettcher scored a season-high 20 points to go along with six rebounds and six assists as BVU completed the season sweep. During the overtime victory at Central, she turned in 17 points, including three makes from long range, to go along with four rebounds.

All four players were key pieces to the team which reached 10 conference wins for the first time since 2009-10 and qualified for the conference tournament for the first time in eight seasons.
