ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Navy women's basketball program under the direction of sixth-year head coach
Tim Taylor is pleased to introduce a talented group of five freshmen, who will be joining the team for this upcoming 2025-26 season. The Class of 2029 consists of five recruited student-athletes from throughout the country. Over the next week, each recruit will be profiled with the third plebe being Quinn Boettinger from Schwenksville, Pennsylvania.
A physical presence in the post, Boettinger was a four-year letterwinner for coach John Russo at Perkiomen Valley High School. A winner throughout her time with the Vikings, she wrapped up her high school career with a PIAA Class 6A State Championship this past March. Recognized on the All-Pioneer Athletic Conference First Team and Mercury All-Area First Team all four seasons, Boettinger's career culminated with spots on the 2024 Pennsylvania Class 6A All-State Third Team and 2025 All-State Second Team. Over her career with the Vikings, she accumulated 1,751 points to rank second all-time in the Pioneer Athletic Conference (PAC).
During her time at Perkiomen Valley, Boettinger helped her squad collect three PAC Championships, three PIAA District 1-6A Championships and one state title, the first in program history. In the final 2024-25 MaxPrep standings, the Vikings were ranked 32nd overall in the nation after going 30-3. All told, the Vikings posted a record of 110-15 from 2022 to 2025.
Boettinger competed with the Comets Basketball Club out of Philadelphia on the UAA Circuit. During her sophomore summer with the Comets, she was ranked as the most efficient girls UAA scorer.
Perkiomen Valley's Class President in 2023, 2024 and 2025, Boettinger also suited up with the Vikings' volleyball team as a middle blocker and earned three varsity letters. She's the daughter of Paul and Dana.
"Quinn is an outstanding get for our program," remarked Taylor. "She is a complete post player that can score around the basket with either hand and can stretch the floor with her ability to shoot the three. It is extremely impressive that as a post player, she scored over 1,700 points in high school. Plus, she has an extremely high basketball IQ and plays the post like a point guard. Quinn has an uncanny ability to see plays before they happen and she finds open teammates consistently which makes her extremely dangerous with the ball in her hands.
"Quinn is also used to winning as her high school team won the 6A Pennsylvania State Championship last year and she played for the ultra-competitive Comets travel team on the prestigious Under Armour Circuit. Playing in these environments will be prepared to be an impact here at the Academy."
