The Buena Vista University (BVU) football team landed seven different athletes in eight different positions on the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) All-Conference team for the 2013 season.

“I think all eight selections are very deserving. These guys put a lot of work in leading up to the season and it showed over the course of 10 games. To be selected means you were playing consistently at a high level throughout the conference season,” Head Coach Jay Anderson said.

The athletes who earned 1st Team All-Conference accolades are senior Brady Randall as a defensive linebacker, junior Adam Cave as a wide receiver/tight end, and freshman Tyler Stolen for both punter and placekicker.

The 2nd Team All-Conference players are junior quarterback Bobby Brown, sophomore wide receiver Jalen Henningsen, senior offenseive lineman Matt Sefcik, and senior defensive lineman TJ Bruch.

The eight honors tie the current school record, which was set in 2008. The Beavers ended their season with an overall record of 4-6 (4-3 IIAC) and a third place standing in the IIAC.

“We had a four game win streak to finish the season. All three phases, offense, defense, and special teams played an equal role in that win streak. When you look at our players that were selected that balance in the three phases represented,” Anderson said.
