Siuslaw’s Rose commits to Concordia University
Concordia
University
head
women’s volleyball coach Melanie
Hambelton has announced the com-
mitments of three student-athletes for
the upcoming 2017 Caveliers volley-
ball season — among them, Siuslaw
High School senior Elyssa Rose.
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

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.
Rose also received First Team All-
