Women's basketball team adds walk-on Kreager

Forward Kate Kreager has joined the Virginia women's basketball team as a walk-on after an open tryout, Coach Debbie Ryan announced yesterday.

Kreager, a 6-foot-3 junior from Chantilly, Va., played for Xavier the past two seasons. She averaged 13.6 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game last season, and finished ninth in the nation in field goal percentage. She was named to the Xavier Invitational All-Tournament Team.

As a freshman in 2000-01, Kreager was the only Musketeer rookie to see action in all 34 games and led Xavier in minutes played off the bench. She will sit out this season and practice with the team.
