The honor recognizes Rohde as one of the top 11 players among the 31 teams of the NCAA Division II West Region in balloting by the region's sports information directors.
A 6-9 junior center from Phoenix, Ariz. (Pinnacle HS), Rohde leads the NCAA Tournament-bound Seawolves in scoring (16.5 ppg), rebounding (6.7 rpg), blocked shots (0.7 bpg) and field-goal percentage (.619). He is the only player in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to rank among the league's top eight statistically in scoring, rebounding and field-goal percentage, having scored double digits in 23 of the last 26 games. The transfer from Arizona State was a First Team All-GNAC selection and has been named to the all-tournament teams at all of UAA's non-conference events, including the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.
Rohde and the Seawolves (23-9) are the No. 6 seed for the upcoming D-II West Regional Championships in Ellensburg, Wash. UAA will face No. 3 seed and nationally 6th-ranked Humboldt State in its first-round game Friday at 11 a.m. AST.
