The sophomore from Bishop Blachet is always a difference maker for her team, and she helped SIVBC 16-Thunder to a third-place finish and an American Bid to Nationals. Malley plays with incredible confidence in the setter spot; she reverses the flow with long, fast backsets that are on point, and she can locate the ball from difficult angles and body positions when needed.

Malley was setting in a 5-1, and she took advantage of her team’s length and firepower to overpower most teams in the tournament. Her willingness to reverse the flow and find her right side paid dividends, and Malley plays solid defense before finding the second ball. Malley may not be the tallest 5-1 setter, but she makes things happen as a blocker and attacker in the front row.
