Zariah Matthews posted another impressive week on the hardwood. Matthews averaged 18 points while shooting 41.7 percent from the field, including a clip of 46.7 from behind the arc, and 81.8 percent from the free throw line. She scored a career-high and roster-best 24 points in the setback at West Florida. It's her third 20-point, scoring effort of the season. She totaled 12 points in the upset at Valdosta State on Thursday. She finished the week with four rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over the course of the two games.

Matthews is third in the conference in assists and steals per game and ranks in the top 15 in scoring - all bests for the Lady Choctaws.
