ST. LOUIS – For just the second time in program history and the first time since 2001-02, Bradley has placed two student-athletes on the five-player Missouri Valley Conference Women's Basketball All-Freshman Team, according to a release of the 2021-22 All-MVC teams by the league office Wednesday morning.

Forward Abbie Draper (Waverly, IA/Waverly-Shell HS) and guard Caroline Waite (Ames, IA/Ames HS) join the Drake duo of Katie Dinnebier and Anna Miller, as well as Indiana State forward Arianna Smith, on the MVC All-Freshman Team.
