After a breakout season with the Guelph Gryphons women's soccer team, student Elise Bell is making the leap to professional soccer. Signing on as a mid-season acquisition with the Ottawa Rapid FC of the Northern Super League, she had an electric debut, scoring a goal in front of a packed TD Place in Ottawa. The former Ontario University Athletics All-Star and U SPORTS Canada All-Canadian is now the second Gryphon to sign in Canada's only professional women's soccer league, following a path forged by the many former Gryphons who have helped create more opportunities for women in sport.

Majoring in biomedical science with a minor in business, Bell is completing her degree online while balancing the demands of professional soccer, a new city and a new team. She credits the supportive culture she found with the Gryphons, surrounded by talented teammates who shared a commitment to building meaningful connections, for helping shape her journey.
