WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – Senior defensive specialist Bella Dart has been named the latest women's Hilltopper of the Week after anchoring the West Liberty back row during a perfect 3–0 week for the Hilltoppers.

Dart was a steady defensive force as West Liberty swept Wheeling, Davis & Elkins, and West Virginia Wesleyan to extend its winning streak. The Avon, Indiana native totaled 38 digs over the three matches, averaging more than 4.0 digs per set while providing consistent passing and leadership in serve receive.

Her standout performance came in the sweep of Wheeling, where she recorded 18 digs and two aces, helping the Hilltoppers snap a long losing streak against their conference rival. Dart followed that with 12 digs against Davis & Elkins and eight more at Wesleyan to cap an undefeated week.

On the season, Dart has been one of the defensive anchors for the Hilltoppers, tallying 278 digs, 69 assists, and 16 aces through 76 sets played.

Her consistency and court awareness have been key to West Liberty's success as the Hilltoppers continue to climb the MEC standings this fall.
