T.R. Bell, the winningest coach in Lake Forest College women's soccer history and a 2009 inductee into the Forester Athletic Hall of Fame, begins his 15th year as the program's head coach in 2011.

Bell's teams have compiled a 144-94-8 record in his 14-year career, including a 95-28-4 (.748) 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. He earned MWC Coach of the Year honors following the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

The 2010 Foresters finished the season with an 11-8-0 overall record and posted their fourth consecutive 7-2-0 league mark, good for second in the conference standings. Four Foresters were named All-MWC, including three to the first team. Twenty-five of Lake Forest's 57 all-conference selections in Bell's career have been first team choices and 13 have been freshmen. A team record 10 Foresters earned Academic All-MWC honors in 2010, giving the program 63 in Bell's 14 seasons. 

The Foresters have qualified for the four-team MWC Tournament in all but two of Bell's 14 seasons and earned the right to host the event three times. Lake Forest captured conference championships in 2001 and 2004 and the 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.

T.R. and his wife Julie reside in Chicago.
