“Jamie graduated in 2006 and went on to play at Nazareth. She is currently in medical school at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Megan is a senior this year. Her story is coming back from two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. She was sixth man as a freshman on the sectional championship team. Blew out each knee in the spring of her freshman and sophomore years.

“Megan has not had the career we thought, but is finally healthy and will have a big year,” Vogt said.
Like her sister, Megan is a four-year varsity player and a captain.

“They are two of the most significant players during my time here,” said Vogt. “It is kind of like the end of an era.”

Malloy sustained her two ACL injuries while playing lacrosse.

“That’s where I got hurt the first time,” Malloy said. “Then I got hurt during sectionals in lacrosse the second time. Lacrosse is a lot like basketball, so it helps a lot. It’s different, but it’s definitely very similar.
“It’s really helpful to be a similar sport, so it’s easy to go from one to the other.”

When asked what it was like coming back from two ACL injuries, Megan Malloy said, “It was a lot of work, but it’s totally, totally worth it. I’m having so much fun. Now I’ve actually come back to the place where I wanted to be last year and sophomore year. This is where I wanted to be, so hopefully we’ll finish the year well.”

Looking ahead to college, Malloy might now play intercollegiate athletics, but just intramurals. The reason, she plans on studying to be a nurse.

“I might now play anything,” she said. “It’s still up in the air, I’m not really sure. I’m thinking more lacrosse. If I do play lacrosse, I’ll probably go to Nazareth. I want to go to Delaware or Naz, or Binghamton. I’m applying to nine colleges.

“If I go to a bigger school, I’m not even going to even and mix my major with the kind of commitment that comes along being in a sport like that.”

Malloy started with the basketball program, and Coach Vogt, at a very young age.

“My sister was playing and I started coming to her games since I was in second grade,” she said. “Coach Vogt’s daughter Devin and I were the water girls. It just all started from there.

“It’s just great to look back and think that I was in second grade and behind the bench. It’s just so different. I’ve been waiting for this year my whole life. It’s crazy that it’s actually here.”
