Malea Stevens Malea Stevens 5'2" | DS/L Owatonna | 2029 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.
