In 2012, Maclennan made the newspapers all over New Zealand, when she was a part of the 'Harrison Hoist' where she lifted team-mate Anna Harrison to deflect a shot above the rim.[6]
She is the older sister of New Zealand rugby union player Matt Moulds, who plays for the Blues in Super Rugby.
Moulds has a master's degree from the University of Otago, completed in 2013, with a thesis on the dietary habits of athletes with spinal-cord injuries.[7]
