She came in second in digs in her freshman campaign with 307, showing Matson to be a strong presence in several areas.

?Her final campaign as a Laker proved to be her best one as she was named to the All-PSAC West First Team and the Daktronics All-Atlantic Region Second Team. In her final year, Matson posted a career-high 359 kills and a career-high in digs with 336 to go along with 26 service aces.
