A senior, Malia is a soccer All-American who led the Lady Rams (21-1-1) last season to a second straight Ohio state Div. III soccer championship.

Accounting for 34 points last season (14 goals-6 assists), Malia earned virtually every top award imaginable, including Ms. Ohio Soccer, Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year, Ohio Div. III Player of the Year, Southwest Ohio District Player of the Year, Women's Sports Association Sportswoman of the Year and Cincinnati Player of the Year, to name a few.

Malia's many accomplishments even caught the attention of Sports Illustrated who featured her in its "Faces in the Crowd" section. She also was the only junior selected this past June as one of six finalists for the LaRosa's Female MVP of the Year award.

A great student (4.0 GPA) who is active in community service, Malia is a member of the USA National U18 soccer team and has committed to play collegiately at Florida State University. Her favorite athlete is Messi and most-like-to-meet is Zac Efron.
