Dalton on why she chose UND:
"I chose UND because I know the competitive environment will push me to be my best and because the coaches care about developing their athletes as players and people."

Coach J. Tupac on Dalton:
"One of the most prolific scorers to ever come out of the state of Nebraska, Mattie is a hardened competitor and an unbelievable teammate. Even more impressive than the numerous records she has broken, championships she has won, and accolades she has received, is her ability to deeply invest in herself and her teammates for the betterment of all. It was clear from our very first conversation that Mattie is all in on everything she does. Her passion and attention to detail is something that we know will push her and her teammates to elite levels.  She is the perfect fit for our program, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome her to Grand Forks."
