Matecki started 52 games for the UMSL Tritons, recording 132 putouts and nine assists. He committed just one error for a fielding percentage of .993. The centerfielder helped UMSL to its best season since 2004, as the Tritons posted a 32-21 record, which included victories in 24 of their final 31 contests.
