Mallory, a junior from Beltsville, Md., earned his third weekly award of the season after helping unanimously top-ranked Randolph-Macon to a trio of ODAC victories to improve the Yellow Jackets records to 20-1 overall and 12-0 in conference play. Mallory averaged 18 points and shot 57.1-percent from the field over the three outings. He opened with 14 points and five rebounds in a 77-43 victory at Randolph. He was 7-of-12 from the field and chipped in an assist and a blocked shot in 24 minutes. Mallory then helped R-MC top second-place Guilford, 60-56, with 21 points and 11 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season. He was 8-of-15 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line. Three of his boards came via the offensive glass. He added an assist and a steal to his line. Mallory capped his week with 19 points and five rebounds in a 72-67 win over Roanoke. He went 9-of-15 from the field and canned his lone foul shot. He pulled down four offensive caroms and blocked a pair of shots. For the season, Mallory is fifth in the ODAC in scoring (16.3) and fourth in rebounding (8.6). He leads the conference in blocked shots (53) and is third in field goals made (146-of-252), field goal shooting (57.9%), defensive rebounds (127), and total rebounds (181). He is fourth in offensive boards (54) and fifth in total points scored (342). Randolph-Macon has won 14 straight games and 37 of their last 38 outings dating back to the 2019-20 season. R-MC's lone blemish over that span is a one-point overtime loss to Christopher Newport in late November.
