ABOUT VERMONT: Vermont went 25-7 a year ago and 14-2 in the American East, capturing the conference tournament and advancing to face UConn in the NCAA Tournament. The Catamounts were picked to repeat as AE regular season champions in the preseason poll and Emma Utterback and Anna Olson were both picked preseason all-conference. Utterback averaged 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game a year ago, while Olson led the team at 6.5 rebounds per contest and finished second on the team in scoring (11.4).
