I’m a big Stevens fan. I got to watch her a few times during the club season and again at AAU, and she is turning into quite the libero. She’s quick, steady in serve receive, and plays good defense. What impressed me the most though was her out of system setting. She has the ability to deliver good sets from well off the net and even with some tempo on the ball. I think if she continues to grow her game, she is going to be a big recruit next year.

Malea Stevens Malea Stevens 5'3" | DS/L Owatonna | 2029 State MN competed relentlessly in the backcourt during tight sets. She maintains a low, balanced defensive base and reacts quickly off hitters’ shoulders. Stevens absorbs pace well and controls digs rather than simply keeping balls alive, allowing her team to reset offensively.

Her pursuit on tips and off-speed shots stood out. She tracks down second-ball touches and competes through extended rallies without losing structure. In narrow-margin matches, her defensive consistency kept plays alive at critical moments. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Why college coaches should track her now: Stevens demonstrates early defensive discipline and competitiveness that form the backbone of strong backcourt depth.
