Maycee Bell’s hops land her new program record
Maycee Bell is expected to be a key contributor on a UNC women’s soccer team looking to avenge last year’s NCAA Championship defeat.
Bell was one of three Tar Heels selected to the Preseason All-ACC squad, along with teammates Sam Meza and Ally Sentnor. Bell’s been part of a Tar Heel defense that’s, through two games this season, only allowed one goal.
Bell and her Tar Heel teammates limited opponents to 20 goals last year, including an August in which UNC’s opposition never found the back of the net.
Not only is Bell a solid defender, though, she can also get up.

Preseason All-ACC and program record holder? You could say Bell, who’s a redshirt senior, is enjoying her last year in Tar Heel Blue.
Next up for Bell and Carolina is a Thursday, Aug. 24 home contest against the University of Wisconsin. The Badgers, just like UNC, are 1-0-1 after their first two games. They beat UIC (University of Illinois-Chicago) 1-0 on Sunday, while Avery Patterson, Melina Rebimbas and Olivia Thomas helped the Heels down California by a 3-1 score.
