Malone University volleyball player Mallory Adams was named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Athlete of the Week following her tremendous performance in the final week of the regular season. 
 
The sophomore outside hitter from Medina, Ohio (Highland HS) totaled 45 kills, 31 digs, 15 blocks, three assists, and two service aces in a trio of matches last week. In a must-win match against Alderson Broaddus, Adams put together the game of her life to lead the Pioneers back from a two sets to one deficit and a seven-point disadvantage in the fourth set. Adams finished the match with 21 kills, 18 digs, and 10 blocks for her first collegiate triple-double as all three totals marked career-highs. Her triple-double was the only one by a G-MAC athlete this season.
 
Less than 24 hours after leading the Pioneers to their first-ever berth in the G-MAC Tournament, Adams delivered another outstanding performance against Davis & Elkins in the season finale. In the four-set win over the Senators, she collected 14 kills, eight digs, and four blocks to help Malone secure the #2 seed in the G-MAC Black Division. Adams finished the regular season ranked 6th in the conference in kills per set (2.96) and 8th in blocks (0.80 b/s). She finished 3rd in the league with 358 total kills.

Malone will take on Kentucky Wesleyan in the first round of the G-MAC Tournament on Thursday, November 17th at the Mason Arena in Mason, Ohio. Match time is set for 7:30 pm.
