She has been called the greatest middle blocker to ever play the sport of women's volleyball, standing at 6' 3" tall. Known for shutting down the greatest hitters in the world. Her vertical jump (11 feet) is rivaled only by teammate Mireya Luis. Her stare is known to intimidate any player at the net, and has been called by many of her peers "the look of death". She was a dominant blocker and hitter in the world during her time as a starter for the Cuban National Team.

Magaly is still an active player in 2009 for Ciudad Las Palmas G.C. Cantur in Spain, where she is one of the best attackers and blockers being elected MVP and "best 7" several times.
