CEDARVILLE, Ohio - Two-time Indiana High School Athletic Association Division 2A First Team selection Stephanie Rogers has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Cedarville University. 

The 5-11 middle hitter from Heritage Christian High School in Indianapolis produced an impressive four-year career that also included the school record for most kills in a season with 492 as a senior. Rogers, the 2009 Team MVP, is a three-time All-City First Team performer and led her squad to a 107-28 record during the past four seasons.

During Rogers' high school career, Heritage Christian advanced to an Elite Eight and a Sweet Sixteen appearance at the IHSAA State Tournament before losing each time to eventual state champion Muncie Burris. Heritage completed each of the last four years ranked in the Top 10 of the Division 2A State Poll.

Rogers has extensive club volleyball experience as well, playing for the Indiana Volleyball Academy where she has led the team to the Nationals - USA Volleyball and JVA - each of the past three seasons.

Rogers is anxious to begin her collegiate career at Cedarville. "I chose Cedarville because from my first visit I loved the campus and the volleyball program, but most of all I loved the people I met and their commitment to Godliness," noted the two-time Academic All-State honoree.

Cedarville University head coach Doug Walters is pleased about the addition of Rogers to his volleyball program. "We are extremely excited to welcome a player of Stephanie's caliber to our program. Not only is she an outstanding athlete that will make an immediate impact on our team, but she has a strong Christ-centered focus to her life that is easily seen by others. We are looking forward to the next four years with Stephanie playing a major role in our program!"

Stephanie, who plans to major in Early Childhood Education, is the daughter of Larry and Becky Rogers of Carmel, Indiana.
