This will be the third season of NCAA Division play for the Cavaliers, who are members of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. “We looked to create some depth in the middle and on the outside with this recruiting class and I believe we have done that with the group of athletes we have signed,” Hambelton. “I’m excited for the season to begin and look forward to working with this group of student-athletes. “As we begin full membership in D2, we believe we have the necessary tools to make an impact on the GNAC.” At 6-foot-1, Rose is a formidable middle blocker who is a four-time var- sity letter winner who led the Vikings to the league championship this past fall, where they advanced to the sec- ond round of the state play-offs. Rose was named to the All-State Honorable Mention Team as well as being First Team All-League, the team’s Most Valuable Player and team captain. During her junior season, Rose earned First Team All-League honors as well as Team MVP honors. Siuslaw finished third in the league and advanced to the first round of the SIUSLAW NEWS FILE PHOTO Elyssa Rose League honors her freshman and sophomore seasons. In both seasons, the Vikings finished second in the league and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. “We are grateful for the addition of Elyssa to our program,” Hambelton said of Rose. “Elyssa puts up a great block, works hard to get to the pin every time as a blocker and reaches high on her attack. I believe her potential has yet to be tapped and that she can be an impact player for us in the middle.” Hambelton described Rose is a ded- icated student as well, and one who has high expectations for herself play-offs that season.
