With the honor, Matrka will be placed on the national ballot for the Academic All-America team.

Matrka, a biology major carrying a 3.99 grade point average, was selected as the Big South Conference Co-Scholar Athlete of the Year this past season. She was a first team All-Big South selection, going 15-5 overall and 6-1 in the conference. Matrka also earned a spot on the All-Conference doubles team along with senior Medina Bajrambasic (Zewica, Bosnia).
