Dana Melby (G, 5-10, Gonvick, Minn./Clearbrook-Gonvick H.S.)
Melby was a First Team All-Northwoods Conference pick as a senior and junior. She earned Second Team All-Conference accolades as a sophomore. Melby was a co-captain for Clearbrook-Gonvick H.S. She was a four-year Team Academic All-State pick. Melby secured over 850 points and 600 rebounds. She notched a triple-double and numerous double-doubles in her career. Melby set the school record with 24 rebounds in a game.
“I really like Dana’s length and her ability to shoot the three,” said Head Coach Mike Roysland. “She has a very pure shot and I really like her upside as a collegiate player. I really look forward to working with her and helping her develop as a player. It is always nice when we can get a student-athlete from our backyard, and we can’t wait to have her on campus.”
She is the daughter of Jacob and Cynthia Melby. Melby is undecided on her major. She has been on the Honor Roll and is a National Honors Society member.
