Mallory Shetley is Western Illinois’ proven tournament closer
In the 2025-26 season, Shetley gives Western Illinois a ready-made frontcourt scorer with senior poise, efficient finishing, and real two-way value: she was named 2026 OVC Tournament MVP after 45 points on 20-of-28 shooting, including 27 points in the semifinal and 18 in the title game. Earlier in the season, she also showed she can anchor offense through consistent inside scoring and defensive activity, which makes her a strong fit for teams needing a reliable, physical forward who rises in big moments.
