Three Braves Earn MVC Scholar-Athlete Honors
Three members of the Bradley men's basketball program were honored for their work on and off the court on Thursday, earning selection to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Teams.
Sophomore Rienk Mast was named to the league's first team, while senior Ari Boya and junior Ville Tahvanainen each received honorable-mention accolades.
Mast is just the second Brave in the last eight seasons to collect first-team MVC Scholar Athlete accolades – joining Nate Kennell in 2019-20. Also a member of the All-Valley Third Team, Mast owns a 3.64 grade point average as a physics major. On the court, he leads the conference with 8.3 rebounds per game, while ranking second on BU with 11.6 points.
