South Mountain Community College women's volleyball freshman Maleah Reynolds earned All-ACCAC Honorable Mention honors for her play throughout the 2021 season. Reynolds led the Cougars with 240 kills and averaged 2.86 kills per set while hitting .167 in 25 matches and 84 sets this season.

"Maleah has been solid for us all season long. She is a smart and aggressive attacker and contributed to our team defensively while in the back row," said SMCC head coach Melissa Joseph. "Maleah is a hard worker both in practices and matches, and she is competitive and coachable in all aspects of the game. She has great knowledge of the game and is deserving of the honors she received. It's obvious that other coaches see her hard work and talent in the way that she plays."

Renolds also totaled 21 service aces, 32 total blocks and six assists for the year. She finished the year with four-straight double-doubles and posted eight on the season.

She posted a season-high 23 kills in a contest against the Grand Canyon University club team, and added 15 digs and a season-high four service aces against the Antelopes.
