The Forester Women's Soccer
Program
The women's soccer program at Lake Forest College
has achieved considerable success in its 21-year history. Head
Coach T.R. Bell looks to continue that tradition as he enters his 11th
season guiding the Foresters. "The great aspect about the game of soccer
is that it is a players' game and, while we do work within a framework,
my players are free to create and express themselves within those boundaries." Coach Bell's philosophy has proven to generate an exciting and successful
brand of soccer.
