BIO: The return of junior Thomas Belton (Springfield, MA/Springfield Central/Western Mass.) has become a legit division III middle blocker, establishing himself throughout last season.  He is ranked 17^th in the nation in blocks per game and 15^th in the nation in kills per game.  In 2010, Thomas will be looking to put up similar numbers, as he will be used as a swing hitter in the Mustang's fast paced offense.  "Not only is he an attacking threat in his own right, Thomas' size and strength demands attention from our opponents, which often helps free-up our other hitters, helping make our offense more effective.  He is also one of the best blockers on the team, so our defense will be relying on his net presence to limit apposing hitter's options," said Porrell.
