BVU Women’s Basketball: Krager First Team; Walker, Yanga Second, Boettcher Honorable Mention

Bradi Krager, a sophomore at Buena Vista University, was named to the American Rivers Conference First Team, Buena Vista University Athletics announced March 4 from Storm Lake. The same release put junior Mary Walker and freshman Adeeya Yanga on the A-R-C Second Team and listed sophomore Tyme Boettcher as an Honorable Mention selection, marking a notable senior staff of contributors for the Storm this season.

"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," the BVU Athletics release said, tying individual honors to the program's broader progress.

BVU credited those four players with helping the program reach 10 conference wins for the first time since the 2009-10 season and with qualifying for the conference tournament for the first time in eight seasons. The conference milestone elevates Buena Vista within NCAA Division III play and represents the program’s strongest A-R-C regular-season showing in more than a decade.

The release identifies Krager as a sophomore guard but did not include season statistics or game lines for her. A related team item on the BVU site, titled "Bradi Krager, BVU women's basketball vs. Central," was posted Feb. 24, 2026, and may contain game-level context and video highlights referenced by the athletics department.

Mary Walker, whose transfer to BVU followed two seasons at the junior college level, received the most detailed statistical treatment in the release. BVU said Walker "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." The release cited two 20-point games for Walker: a 21-point, four-rebound outing at Simpson on Dec. 9 and a 20-point, four-rebound, two-assist performance in the regular-season finale against Loras on Feb. 21. BVU also reported that after four straight single-digit games, Walker averaged 18.0 ppg over the final three regular-season contests. The phrase "chalked up 1.4apg" appears in the athletics copy and is likely a typographical error in the released statistics; BVU Athletics has not provided a corrected stat in the distributed text.

Freshman Adeeya Yanga earned Second Team recognition, and sophomore Tyme Boettcher was named an A-R-C Honorable Mention; the release did not list per-game numbers for either player. BVU’s related-stories roster includes a Yanga video from Feb. 18, 2026, titled "Adeeya Yanga, BVU women's basketball at Nebraska Wesleyan," and a Boettcher item from Feb. 21, 2026, titled "Tyme Boettcher, BVU women's basketball vs. Loras," which offer game-specific clips linked on the athletics page.

Buena Vista’s combination of a first-team selection in Krager, two second-team honorees in Walker and Yanga, and an honorable mention in Boettcher ties individual recognition to clear program gains: a return to double-digit A-R-C wins and a conference-tournament berth for the first time in eight seasons. The Storm now head into postseason play with a roster that the athletics department singled out as central to breaking a multiyear drought.
