Mathes (*pictured) led Mildford offensively at 2.6 k/s as she was just shy of 200 total kills for her first varsity season. Earning ECC honorable mention recognition, the Eagles finished fourth overall in league play. She has good six-rotation tools as demonstrated last season with Tri-State Elite and recently with Milford. She can pass with good movement and platform mechanics, which translate well to efficiency and momentum build in her approach work. With her arm, Mathes has the ability to drive the ball through the full scope of the court with good vision, control, and variation in her touch and power. She will team with Long to to make up a good portion of the pin offense for TSE 15 Blue this season.

Mathes (*pictured) was the other half of this terrific freshmen duo for Milford, a team with many non-senior prospects that made it to the regional semifinal round. She finished just outside the top 10 in the ECC offensively with 181 total kills for a 2.6 k/s average. She is a fearless attacker and has a good foundation to get to the ball on balance and swing aggressively. Her action included opportunities at both pins in which she is equally effective to get the ball to the floor.
