Malaki, a junior linebacker, led Upper Iowa’s defense as the Peacocks ended their four-game losing streak with victory over Loras on Saturday. Malaki registered nine tackles (five solo), had four tackles for losses and two sacks. His two biggest defensive plays were a third quarter blocked PAT and a fourth quarter interception. The blocked PAT preserved Upper Iowa’s 10-9 lead and his interception, late in the game, allowed the Peacocks to run out the clock en route to a 16-9 victory.
