WALTHAM, Mass. – The reigning Northeast 10 Setter of the Year earned her first NE10 Setter of the Week honor in 2026, the conference announced Monday. It's the first weekly nod for Tory Vitko the season. She was the NE10 Setter of the Week on seven occasions in 2025.

Vitko filled the stat sheet during Bentley's three-set victory at Mercy (Sept. 17). She totaled 31 assists, five digs, and five blocks to hand the Mavericks their first loss of the season. That contest was a rematch of the 2025 NCAA DII East Regional Championship.

Vitko is averaging 8.94 assists per set this season, which ranks third in the NE10.

Following nine consecutive matches on the road, Bentley returns home to host Bridgeport Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 7 p.m.
