Email:

Malala Pyle joined the CU Athletic Department in June 2024. She serves as an Assistant Director of Digital Strategy, overseeing the social media efforts for the volleyball, tennis and lacrosse teams.

Pyle was formerly the primary athletic communications contact for lacrosse in her first season with the Buffs, as well as women's basketball for one season and volleyball for two, before merging into the digital strategy department in August 2026. She also previously oversaw the athletic communications internship program.

Before arriving at CU, she served as a Sports Brands & Communications Assistant in the University of Southern California Athletic Department from Fall 2022 to Spring 2024, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in public relations from the USC Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism.

As an SB&C Assistant, she served as the secondary contact for both indoor volleyball teams and the seven-time National Championship winning beach volleyball team. As secondary contact for beach volleyball, she oversaw all social media efforts, including two NCAA titles (2023, 2024) and the final beach volleyball Pac-12 Championship (2023).

Additionally during college, she had summer internships with the Oakland Athletics and the Golden State Warriors. She also served as a sports editor for Annenberg Media, and as chief copyeditor from 2021-2022 for the Daily Trojan.

She has been an active member of the College Sports Communicators (CSC) since 2023.

Born in Greenbrae, Calif., she graduated from The Branson School in 2020. Ironically, neither of her parents are sports people – her love for sports comes through her god-father, who played basketball at Harvard and was a head coach at Branson for 29 years. Both her god-siblings also played sports – her sister played soccer at Colorado College and her brother played basketball at Washington University in St. Louis. Pyle currently resides in Broomfield, and in her free time enjoys hiking, going to the gym, hanging out with friends, and spending time at the beach.
