Over the past four years, Sarah Bell has gone on a journey that has taken her from Fox Chapel to Plymouth, N.H., and next year, to Providence, R.I. A senior at Holderness School, a coeducational college prep boarding school in central New Hampshire, Bell has committed to play lacrosse at Brown University, selecting the Bears over offers from Harvard, Penn and Dartmouth, Boston and Middlebury, among others.
“[Brown has] a friendly atmosphere and it’s a place I can challenge myself athletically and academically,” Bell said. “… their lacrosse team is on the up-and-up. It’s a close-knit group and I get along very well with the coach. [Brown coach Keely McDonald] is awesome. It’s exciting.”
It’s the next chapter in a long journey from the Pittsburgh area.
