Vite enters her fourth season as the head coach of the Hawks Women's Lacrosse program ahead of the 2025 season.
In Vite's third year at the helm of the program, she guided the team to unprecedented success which included the program's first ever SUNYAC Tournament victory, its highest seeding ever in the conference tournament, along with hosting the program's first ever postseason game with SUNY New Paltz landing in the top-seven IWLCA Region III rankings for the first time. A multitude of players set single season records, including caused turnovers, assists, goals and points with the team breaking all those categories as well. As a result, Vite and her staff was awarded the program's first ever SUNYAC Coaching Staff of the Year recognition and Vite herself was nominated as an IWLCA All-Region III Coach of the Year candidate. The team also set a record for overall wins (14) and conference wins (6), having their most prolific season to-date.
Vite coached a record six All-SUNYAC selections following their 2024 run, including the program's first ever SUNYAC Midfielder of the Year recipient in senior Kaitlyn Shaw, who went on to become the program's first ever two-time All-Region selection. Shaw and fellow senior Morgan Woolley were both awarded IWLCA All-Region honors, marking the most for the program ever.
In her second season in 2023, Vite set a program record in wins with nine and led the Hawks to their second straight postseason appearance — the first back-to-back postseason run in program history — and coached four All-SUNYAC selections.
Following her first season at the helm in 2022, Vite guided the Hawks to just their second ever postseason appearance and coached three All-SUNYAC selections, including the program's first ever, first-team recipient Kaitlyn Shaw who went on to become the program's first All-Region selection, as she earned second team IWLCA All-Empire Region honors after setting a program record 50 goals on the year.
Prior to becoming the seventh coach in Hawks women's lacrosse history, Vite was the lead assistant coach at University of Chicago for four years, where she helped establish the first-year program in 2019. Under the guidance of Vite, the Maroons never had a losing season since its inception, including an 11-2 finish last season where they won the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Championship in dominating fashion and enjoyed an NCAA Elite 8 appearance having garnering second and third round wins over Hamline and John Carroll before falling in a tight game against Dension, 10-7.
Vite was a part of all aspects of the program, involved in recruiting, monitoring student-athlete academic progress, film breakdown and analysis, team travel, community service projects and organizing prospective student-athlete camps and clinics.
Prior to joining the UChicago women's lacrosse staff, Vite spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Aurora University where she earned her MBA after spending a season as the assistant coach at Colorado State University-Pueblo. During her two years in Colorado, she also served as an assistant coach at Pueblo West High School for a season, while working for Teach for America as a Special Education teacher at Risely Middle School International Academy of Innovation.
After graduating from Monroe-Woodbury High School in 2009, Vite played four seasons at DII Kutztown University where she earned All-PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference) honors and was named a PSAC Scholar Athlete. Vite was a team captain and as a defender left the Golden Bears program the all-time leader in ground balls (200) and games played (68), while ranking second in both caused turnovers (77) and games started (62), and sixth in career draw controls (55). She graduated from Kutztown in 2013 and earned her bachelor's degree in education, majoring in both special education and elementary education with a concentration in math and science.
