The 20-year-old wrapped up her Cycling Australia Road National Championships campaign with a gold medal in the women's under 23 road race at Buninyong on Saturday.
It was the Holden Cycling Team member's second gold of the three-event championships, after taking the criterium title on Wednesday night.
Malseed finished the combined elite women's and under 23 road race in two hours, 56 minutes and 39 seconds.
She was 11th overall in the 103-kilometre race and finished one minute and 10 seconds behind first over the line and elite women's champion Peta Mullens.
Koroit's Elizabeth Doueal didn't complete the race.
