Heaven Samayoa-Mathis brings veteran poise, clutch shot-making, and disruptive defense to UTEP
In the 2025-26 season, Heaven Samayoa-Mathis has shown she can swing games with timely scoring, including a late go-ahead jumper in UTEP’s win over Jacksonville State and a 13-point outing against NMSU, while also leading the Miners in steals last season at 1.6 per game[7][13][14]. The 5-7 guard’s calling card is two-way reliability: she averaged 3.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 2024-25, but the bigger value is her edge, toughness, and knack for making winning plays when the game tightens up[9][1].
