VERMONT OUTLOOK

• Anna Olson was named to the Preseason All-Conference team for the fourth straight year after earning America East All-Defensive and Second Team All-Conference a year ago. The Monticello, Minn. native ranked second on the Catamounts, scoring 12.3 points per game during conference play and 11.6 overall.
• The Catamounts bring back two of their top five scorers in Olson (11.6 ppg) and Keira Hanson (8.1 ppg)
• Captain Bella Vito (4.9 ppg) returns for his senior campaign along with forward Nikola Priede (3.0 ppg)
• 2022 America East Rookie of the Year Catherine Gilwee returns after missing all last season with an injury. Malia Lenz, Sarah Lazar, and Nika Kurdija round out the returners.
• UVM added seven newcomers to its roster for the 2024-25 campaign. Five first-years and two transfers make up the new group.
• Vermont will look to replace 49.6% of its minutes and 52.7% of its scoring from 2023-24, following the graduations of Emma Utterback and Delaney Richason and the departures of others in the transfer portal.
