T.R. Bell, the winningest coach in Forester women's soccer history, begins his 14th year as the program's head coach in 2010.

Bell's teams have compiled a 133-86-8 (.607) record in his 13-year career, including an 88-25-4 (.779) mark in Midwest Conference play. He has never posted a league record below .500 and has amassed more conference victories than any other coach in league history.

The 2009 Foresters finished the season with 12-7-0 overall record and won seven of nine league games for the third year in a row. Lake Forest tied for second place in the conference standings. Five Foresters earned All-MWC honors in 2009, including First Team selections Monica Thomas and Becky Esrock. Twenty-two of the Foresters' 53 all-conference selections in Bell's career have been first team choices and 13 have been freshmen, including seven in the last five seasons.

The Foresters have qualified for the four-team MWC Tournament in 11 of Bell's 13 seasons and earned the right to host the event three times. In addition, his 2003 team became the first in the program's history to advance to the NCAA Tournament.

Other memorable victories for Bell include a 3-1 triumph at UW-Whitewater on September 12, 2000, that made him the program's all-time leader in wins. A 1-0 shutout of visiting Monmouth College on October 21, 2006, was the 100th victory in his coaching career.

Bell, a Milwaukee native, graduated in 1996 from Lake Forest College not only with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Anthropology, but as a two-time First Team All-Midwest Conference performer, two-time Forester Most Valuable Player, and four-year starter. Bell ended his playing career with 91 points, which ranks him third on the program's all-time scoring list. He is the school's career leader with 35 assists and ranks tied-for-sixth with 28 goals, despite spending his senior year on the defensive side of the field. He also holds the school record for assists in a season with 16 in 1993. During Bell's four-year collegiate career, the Foresters were 63-12-2 (.831), won at least 11 overall and eight MWC games each season, lost just five times in MWC regular season play (34-5-2), and were 4-2-0 in the MWC Tournament along the way to two conference titles (1992 and 1995).

Bell's pre-Lake Forest career was highlighted by seven Wisconsin state championships while playing for the Bavarian Club of Milwaukee.

Bell has also coached at several soccer training facilities, including the Reebok Post-to-Post Camps.
