INDIANAPOLIS - Malone sophomore middle blocker/outside hitter Mallory Adams was named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Volleyball Athlete of the Week as teams gets ready for the postseason.

Adams was instrumental in the Pioneers' playoff push into the six-team G-MAC Championship bracket as Malone beat Davis & Elkins and Alderson Broaddus to secure the No. 2 seed in the Black division.

Adams tallied 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 Championship, 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.

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 was third in the league with 358 total kills.
