Lynx senior forward Sharwil Bell was named to the d3hoops.com pre-season All-American team this week. Bell who led the SCAC in scoring last season (19.2ppg), is a returning captain on the 2011-12 women's basketball team.  "As good as a player as Sharwil is, she has become a better leader and this is a well deserved award," said Lynx Head Coach Matt Dean.
    In 2010-11 Bell was named All-SCAC first team and was in the top ten of six statistical categories. "Without question she is one of the toughest players to guard in all of Division III basketball," said Dean. Bell was also named a Capital One Academic All-American in 2010-11 and was a Josten's Award nominee.
