University of Minnesota Crookston Athletics

Natalie Ueland, a native of Newfolden, came to UMC from Marshall County Central High School in the fall of 1988. In her second year at UMC, she became an outstanding basketball player. She was consistent at both ends of the court. She was the team's leading rebounder in 1990 and also led the team in scoring. Ueland was named Team Player of the Week numerous times. Her efforts proved her worthy of being named to the Northern Division First Team, All State Minnesota National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association First Team, and finally All Region 13 First Team. She also led the team to a third place finish in the NJCAA Region 13 Tournament. In doing so she set a single game rebounding record of 26 rebounds.
