Davis and Matulonis Sign a National Letter of Intent to Join Wildcats in 2021-22
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire women's basketball team, led by first-year head coach Kelsey Hogan, has announced that Talia Davis (Dedham, Mass.) and Kenzie Matulonis (Raynham, Mass.) have signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Wildcats for the 2021-22 season.
TALIA DAVIS
Davis is a 6-foot forward/guard swing player for The Rivers School girls basketball team. As a junior in the 2019-20 season, Davis was named to the NEPSAC Class AA All-Star Team and All-NEPSAC First Team; she averaged 12 points, eight rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Davis was ranked eighth in Massachusetts by Prep Girls Hoops New England (Spring/Summer 2020).
"Next season we will be welcoming a dynamic swing player in Talia," Hogan said. "She brings great leadership and a competitive edge. Her ability to step out and play on the perimeter while also being able to use her physicality inside will allow her to make an immediate impact on the court."
Prior to The Rivers School, Davis became the first eighth grader to play varsity at Milton Academy; she went on to be captain and team MVP in the 17-18 season. She also played for both the Lady Rivals and Mass Mavericks club teams.
KENZIE MATULONIS
Matulonis is a 5-6 guard at Bridgewater Raynham Regional High School. She led the Trojans to the D1 state semifinals for the first time in 30 years, the South sectional final and Eastern finals appearance as a junior in 2019-20. Matulonis averaged 10.9 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 steals per game that year to garner Southeast All-Conference All-Star recognition.
Matulonis was named to the Old Colony League All-Conference First Team as a sophomore (2018-19). She was also an All-Scholastic selection by both the Brockton Enterprise and Taunton Gazette. Matulonis and the Trojans successfully defended their conference title in the 2018-19 season.
"Next season, we are so excited to welcome a phenomenal point guard in Kenzie," Hogan said. "Kenzie brings a level of toughness and competitiveness that aligns very well with our Wildcat Way. Her IQ and passing ability will make her an invaluable asset to our program."
Matulonis played for the Baystate Jaguars club team, which won the 2019 Rose Classic and Run for Roses titles, as well as the Boo Williams title in '18 and '19.
