USILA DIII Team of the Week for his stellar performance in the Sea Gulls' 28-8 shellacking of the Cougars.
Malamphy, a senior from Annapolis, Md., tied career-bests in face-offs won (22) and ground balls (18), while going a sizzling 22-for-24 on Saturday and chipped in a score while SU was man down. The senior stands atop all divisions in ground balls with 176 on the season through 14 games played.
