PROVIDENCE, R.I. - It was announced today (May 16) that Providence College senior midfield/attack Ryan Bell (Smithtown, N.Y.), sophomore attack Rhett Chambers (Larchmont, N.Y.) and senior faceoff specialist Quinn McConnaughey (Cohasset, Mass.) each earned 2025 NEILA Division I All-New England Team honors.

Bell has scored five-or-more points in seven games this season, including three games with seven or more. Bell recorded a career-high eight assists in the team's season opener versus Holy Cross (Feb. 1). He ranks first in the BIG EAST and first among NCAA Division I players in assists per game (3.27).
