Dr. Struthers Bell is the first-ever female student-athlete from the 70's decade inducted into the Richmond Athletics Hall after a long-standing athletic career for the Spiders. Struthers Bell played three seasons of field hockey from 1968-70, and two seasons of lacrosse in 1968 and 1971, all while playing four years of basketball at Richmond.

Struthers Bell was a two-time captain for the Spider cagers, co-captain with Marilyn Bray as a junior, then lone captain of the 1970-71 squad as a senior. During her senior season she helped guide the squad to a perfect 13-0 record and a Virginia Federation of Intercollegiate Sport for College Women Championship. The team garnered four wins in four days over Hollins (36-31), Lynchburg (54-43), Roanoke (43-37) and Bridgewater (40-29) for the championship.

After graduating from Richmond with a biology degree in 1971, Struthers Bell attended the University of South Florida's College of Medicine where she received her doctorate in 1974.
