MACOMB, Ill- Western Illinois Women's Basketball added to their 2025-2026 roster this morning bringing in NAIA transfer Mallory Shetley from Columbia College in Missouri.

Last season Mallory averaged 17.2 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game starting in all 32 games while recording 43 blocks and 33 steals. During her time at Columbia College, Shetley was named to the All-AMC First Team five different times and was named to the All-AMC Defensive Team her last three seasons. She was also the AMC Freshman of the Year during the 2020-2021 season where she averaged 13.1 points per game shooting 41.4% from the field and added 5.1 rebounds per game. She broke several program records as well including most field goals in a career (849), most free throws attempted (575) and most free throws made in a career (446), and highest free throw percentage in a game (100%) where she went 10-10 from the charity stripe back on January 20, 2025.

Shetley has started 147 out of 148 games during her time at Columbia College and ranks third all time in program history in rebounds (827).
