Magelee is the Bulldogs’ career wins leader in the net and was a Big South Conference All-Conference honorable mention choice in 2024-25. She also helped lead the Bulldogs to a school-record 18 wins her junior year and 21 so far this season.
The Jori Jones Award candidates are identified based on nominations by their coaches.
