Young-Malcolm was Kim Mulkey’s first consensus All-American player at Baylor. She won that honor twice, and in 2005 directed the Lady Bears to the NCAA title while being named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Upon leaving Baylor, she ranked as the Big 12’s all-time leader in points, rebounds and double-doubles, as well as one of just four players in NCAA history to record 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 300 assists and 300 steals.
