Belle wrote himself into the record books on Saturday as Utica recorded a 34-28 win over St. John Fisher. In the third quarter, he picked off a pass by Fisher's Hunter Walsh and returned it 49 yards to the endzone for an interception return score which gave Utica a 28-14 lead. The interception return touchdown was the third of Belle's career and his second of the season as he now holds the career and single season records for Utica in that category. Belle also added four tackles and a team-high three pass breakups in the win.
