January 10, 2015
Now that she’s starting again for the University of Portland women’s basketball team, Hannah Mattson of Fairbanks is finding her way into the scoring column a lot more.
The sophomore has scored a season-best 8 points in back-to-back starts to help nearly double her season scoring average [2.4] with the NCAA D1 team in Oregon.
The 5-foot-9 guard has made 6-of-8 field goals in those two games in addition to grabbing six rebounds and making two steals.
She played a season-high 28 minutes against Santa Clara. Then today against San Francisco she had 8 points and 4 rebounds in 18 minutes.
Mattson, of West Valley High fame, has earned 15 starts in 42 career games.
