After an impressive 2022 campaign, Scout Mathews was named to the Big Sky All-Conference second team singles, announced by the conference today (May 9). Mathews posted an overall 6-6 record this season, going 5-3 in conference matches.

"I'm so proud of Scout and what she has been able to achieve this year," head coach Dustin Hinson said. "She had to fight through some really serious injuries and illness this season. To be able to still earn an all-conference spot is very impressive. This speaks to her character and her resilience. She is a leader on this team, and she displays the grit and determination of a champion each time she steps on the court. I'm excited for her future here as an Eagle and the future of our Eagle team."

The freshman was key at the No. 2 singles spot, finishing with a 4-5 record in the slot. Mathews also competed at the No. 3 spot and went 2-1 in those contests. For the season, Mathews' six singles wins were tied for second with teammate Isabella Foshee.

Mathews is tied for 21^st in the Big Sky with a .500 winning percentage in singles matches.

Along with her success in singles, Mathews was a major contributor in doubles matches, going 6-6 for the season. She was commonly paired with Jennifer Kida and the duo went 3-3 together at the No. 3 spot. The winning percentage for the duo is tied for fourth in the conference at the No. 3 spot and tied for 10^th overall in doubles. In addition to playing with Kida, Mathews went 2-1 with Foshee, 1-1 with Kenzington Mann, and 0-1 with Yasmin Mansouri. Mathews was tied for the team lead with six wins in doubles matches this season.

In Eastern's season finale against Idaho, Mathews won a convincing doubles match with Mann, 6-1, and followed up with a three-set win(6-3, 5-7, 6-4) in her singles match. The Honolulu, Hawai'i native has won her doubles and singles matchup in the same day five times.

Earlier this season, Mathews was named Big Sky Co-Player of the Week after winning four matches in the Eagles' team victories over Montana and Montana State.
