Belland is considered to be one of the best players ever to wear a Jennies’ volleyball uniform. A three-time First Team All-American, she capped her outstanding four-year career by earning NCAA Division II player-of-the-year honors in 1990, the only Jennies’ volleyball player to ever receive that award. As a freshman in 1987, Belland was a member of the Jennies’ Division II runner-up team. She is the only UCM volleyball player to receive first-team All-America honors three straight years (1988, 1989, 1990) and was the MIAA Most Valuable Player in 1989 and 1990. The Jennies were 156-21 during her career, winning MIAA titles and earning NCAA bids each of her four seasons. Belland’s total of 2,189 career kills is the UCM and MIAA career record and ranks 18th in Division II history. Her 938 career block, 366 solo blocks and 572 block assists are also tops in UCM history. Her 3.93 kills per set is third all-time at UCM. She owns the second, third and 10th highest single-season kill totals in program history and she is third all-time in hitting percentage at .369. She was in double figures in kills in 119 of her 177 career matches, most all-time at UCM.
