“Matt came to Bethel as a walk-on and comes to practice everyday and works hard to make us better. He plays hard and that makes him and his teammates better. He has gotten a lot stronger during the offseason, which will be a big help for him to adjust to the physical play of the college game. Matt can knock down the jumper as well as anyone in our program.” -Coach Lightfoot
As a Freshman (08/09)
After making the team as a walk-on after preseason conditioning a season ago, Owens saw most of his playing time on the Pilots’ junior varsity squad.
Matt, however, did appear in seven games for the Pilots last season, scoring three points and collecting two rebounds in 22 minutes of action.
In his first career game, Matt played three minutes and blocked his first career shot against Purdue North Central on 11/7. In his second career game against Calumet College on 11/8, he collected a career-high two rebounds.
Matt’s best game of the season came against Holy Cross on 12/9, when he scored a career-high two points, dished out a career-high one assist, and played a career-high six minutes of action.
