Matheny joins the Pirates after spending the prior two years as part of the Hofstra University volleyball program.

In high school, Matheny was a star for The Charter School of Wilmington. Named Gatorade Player of the Year in Delaware, she was the first player in school history to record 1,000 career kills and helped Wilmington record a 17-2 record and capture the state title as a senior. Matheny was a four-time All-State selection and earned Academic All-Conference honors as well.
