Â
In 2016, Mathews helped lead Lehigh’s goalkeepers, who allowed just 46 goals, their fewest since 2004, while Lehigh allowed its fewest shots since 2007.  For the season, the Mountain Hawks posted three shutouts, their most since 2004 while in consecutive Patriot League games, they shut-out Holy Cross and Colgate.

Â
The Mountain Hawks posted a four-game winning streak mid-season with victories over Holy Cross (1-0), Siena (4-3 in overtime), Colgate (6-0) and Towson (5-0). The 6-0 win over Colgate was Lehigh’s largest margin of victory since September of 2004, when it defeated Robert Morris 9-0. It was the Mountain Hawks’ first shutout of Colgate since 1986 and first in the Patriot League era, while Lehigh’s six goals were its most-ever scored in any Patriot League game (any opponent).

Matthews played in all 21 games as both a sophomore and junior. In her sophomore campaign, she compiled a stellar .748 save percentage and 1.69 GAA, recording her fourth shutout of the season in an NEC Semifinal win over Quinnipiac.
