Bella Vito brings Vermont a defensive edge with steady all-around production
In the 2024-25 season, Bella Vito emerged as one of Vermont’s most impactful guards, earning America East Defensive Player of the Year while averaging 7.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and a career-high 64 steals; that combo of ball pressure, rebounding from the guard spot, and two-way reliability makes her a high-floor, winning-piece type. She’s not just a stat line—coaches and awards voters clearly value her intensity, toughness, and defensive disruption, which are the kinds of traits that travel well to any good team.
