Bridget Malloy '26 Scores 1,000 Points, Makes her Mark as the Fifth Player in Archmere History to Hit the Milestone
Archmere senior Bridget Malloy scored her 1,000th basketball point, hitting the milestone in the first half of the game against Padua on Tuesday evening, February 10th. Bridget is the fifth player in Archmere history to hit 1,000 points; most recently Bridget's former teammate, Lucy Oliver, hit 1,000 in February 2024.
Before Lucy Oliver in 2024, Sean Hayes '89, Missy Paraskewich Elliott '93 and Brittany Neill McConnon '08 all reached the 1,000 point milestone in their senior years at Archmere. Sean celebrated 1,000 points the winter of 1989 during the second to last regular season game, competing away at Wilmington Christian. Needing 17 points, Sean scored 38 that night. A basketball and track and field superstar while at Archmere, Missy scored 1,000 points during an away game in 1993 against Saint Elizabeth's. She was coached by Mr. John Jordan '80.
The third member to reach that milestone was Brittany Neill McConnon '08, who hit the 1,000 point mark in a game against Sanford. Brittany, who was Captain in 2007-2008, also led the team to a 17-5 record and to playoff finals, playing at the Bob Carpenter Center for the State Tournament. Lucy Oliver '24 was the first member of the 1,000 point club to hit the milestone at home in the Moglia Fieldhouse. Heading into the game, Lucy needed 22 additional points to reach 1,000; it didn't take her long. Lucy went on to score 31 points in total against Wilmington Charter, leading the Auks to a 51-23 win.
In the match against Padua on the road, Bridget needed 14 additional points to reach 1,000. The crowd erupted in cheer in the second half of the game when the ball hit the net, signaling that Bridget had reached the milestone during a foul shot. The referees stopped the game to allow for a team celebration. It was Bridget's 14th point of the night, in which she also finished with 7 rebounds, an assist and 2 steals.
Congratulations to Bridget!
