One of the greatest pitchers in Edinboro history, Vanessa holds six career records for the Scots: wins (44), innings pitched (597), strikeouts (590), games pitched (102), complete games (76) and shutouts (24). Her career ERA of 2.09 ranks sixth in school history.

She was a two-time All-PSAC selection earning first-team honors in 2007 and second team in 2008. Her name is also all over the single season records as well where she holds the top mark for innings pitched with 202, strikeouts with 234, games pitched with 31 and complete games with 29 all in her stellar 2007 season. During that 2007 season, Rose threw a shutout as the Scots defeated reigning National Champions Lock Haven 1-0 breaking the Bald Eagles 34-game winning streak. Edinboro qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first-time that season. She has three of the top seven single season strikeout marks and holds not only the top spot, but also the second most complete games in a season. She has three of the top eight seasons in shutouts as well.

Since graduation she has worked in the Intensive Care Unit at Allegheny General Hospital.
