Malone picks up her third Saxon of the Week honors of the season as she helped the Saxons pick up their third and fourth 3-0 win in a row. Out of those four matches, three of them were Empire 8 wins as Malone and the Saxons tack on a sweep of Houghton University for the first time in school history (besides the second match of the make-shift 2021 COVID season). It’s also the first time since the 2000 season that the Saxons have put together three or more 3-0 victories in a row. Malone was the point-leader in both 3-0 wins this past week, scoring 16.0 against Pitt.-Bradford and 19.5 in the road win at Houghton University. Out of the 16 matches this year, Malone has 14 matches with double-digit scoring and is now on an eight-match streak with the double-figures. Her week began with a double-double, after recording 10 digs to go with her 12 kills and four aces against Pitt.-Bradford. Malone added seven digs to her 18 kills, once ace and one block assist in Empire 8 action against the Highlanders.
