Ashburn (Nov. 24, 2009) - Briar Woods High School senior Kim Bell, who will leave the Falcons after this season owning almost every basketball record in the school's 5-year history, signed her NCAA Division I College Letter of Intent Monday to play next year at Utah Valley.

Bell has also been a standout on the Falcon volleyball team but said that basketball has always been her top choice. She celebrated her signing in front of family, friends, teammates, coaches and school officials.

Utah Valley is led by 15th-year head coach Cathy Nixon and has been picked to finish second this year in the Great West Conference preseason poll by a vote of league coaches. The Wolverines join the Great West after being accepted fulltime to NCAA Division I status. The school is located in Orem, Utah.
