OL Reign

Malonson was drafted by the North Carolina Courage 20th overall in the 2021 NWSL Draft; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she opted to play a fifth collegiate season instead.[6] OL Reign acquired her rights and subsequently signed her at the start of 2022.[7]

Following a successful loan in Denmark, Malonson returned to the Reign and made her NWSL debut in a Challenge Cup game against Angel City on April 19, 2023.[8][9]

In July 2022, having not seen action on the pitch, Malonson was loaned to Danish club FC Nordsjælland for the rest of the year.[10] She made 13 appearances for Nordsjælland, which would finish the season fourth in the Kvindeligaen.[11]

Bay FC

On December 15, 2023, Malonson was selected as the first pick in the 2024 NWSL expansion draft by expansion club Bay FC.[12] She made her Bay FC debut in the club's inaugural match, a 1–0 victory over Angel City FC on March 17, 2024.[13] Malonson competed for minutes at left back with teammate Savy King throughout the season [14][15] and ended up making 22 regular season appearances in her first year with Bay FC.[16]

International career

Malonson was a youth international at the under-15 and under-23 level. She received her first senior national team call-up in October 2024 for the team's Olympic gold medal victory tour.[17]
