Zariah Matthews led the Lady Choctaws to a pair of consecutive Gulf South Conference wins on the weekend, including a 21-point win over Valdosta State - completing the season sweep of the Lady Blazers, the first since the 1992-93 campaign. Matthews notched her sixth, 20-plus point game against VSU - the most by any Lady Choctaw since the program returned to Division II. She followed with a double-digit performance in the win over West Florida - her 12th straight game in double figures this season and 18th this season. She's in contention to become a 1,000-point scorer in the program.
Matthews leads the Gulf South Conference in steals per game (3.0), third in assists per game (4.7) and 11th in scoring (14.9).
Mississippi College returns to action on Thursday, Feb. 20 as it hosts in-state and conference foe Delta State.
