GREENVILLE, S.C. – The awards continued to roll in Wednesday for Mercy Bell and Anna Grossheim, as both were named to the Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) All-America Team. Bell earned 2^nd Team All-America honors, while Grossheim was named to the 3^rd Team.

The 2023 Conference Carolinas Offensive Player of the Year, Bell paced Conference Carolinas in two offensive statistical categories, and was tied for the lead in another, while also ranking second in two other categories. The Jacksonville native led the league in goals (19) and points (42), was tied for the lead in game-winning goals (5), and ranked second in shots (96) and shots on goal (48). The sophomore forward scored at least one point (goal or assist) in 11 outings this season, and notched single-season school records with her six multi-goal games and three hat tricks.

An All-Conference Carolinas 1st Team selection, Grossheim now becomes the first three-time All-American in program history, after becoming the first two-time honoree following the 2022 season. The Garner native led the league in shots (102) and shots on goal (55), as well as leading the nation in shots per game (5.37) and shots on goal per game (2.89). She also led Conference Carolinas in assists (12) and finished tied for fifth in points (26). Grossheim tallied at least one point in 12 matches this season, and broke both the UNCP single-season and career records for assists.

The selections mark only the second time in program history that multiple Braves have been named All-American by an organization, joining Whitney Beverly and Melanie Cobb who were named United Soccer Coaches All-Americans following the 2008 season.
