Wayne State College senior middle hitter Tarrin Beller has received two more post-season honors this week.
Bellar was named American Volleyball Coaches Association third-team All-American Tuesday and added Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-America Honorable Mention honors Wednesday as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Beller is the first Wildcat volleyball All-American since Alyssa Frauendorfer in 2015.
A 6-foot senior middle hitter, Bellar was the top blocker in the NSIC the last two seasons. She earned First Team All-NSIC, AVCA and D2CCA Central Region honors this season after leading Wayne State in kills and blocks, averaging 2.90 kills and 1.24 blocks per set. Beller ranks first in the NSIC in blocks per set and is sixth in hitting percentage (.344) and was named NSIC Player of the Week twice this season.
Beller recorded at least two blocks in all but one match this season for the Wildcats. She had 13 matches with 10 or more kills, highlighted by a career-best 18 at Augustana Oct. 31. Beller was named Most Valuable Player of the Shark II Invitational in Florida in early September after averaging 3.08 kills and 1.75 blocks per set while posting a .532 hitting percentage, heling Wayne State to a 4-0 record at the tournament.
