SEATTLE (Apr. 25) - Drew Matzen, an all-conference guard/forward and top scorer for Lynnwood High School the past two seasons, has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball for Seattle Pacific University next season.

Matzen, a 6-foot-4 senior, averaged 16.9 points for the Royals, who were eliminated in the district tournament. He is the son of Steve Matzen, who played for Washington from 1977-80.

Matzen is the second recruit signed by Seattle Pacific coach Jeff Hironaka, who lost six seniors, including four starters, to graduation.

Ralph Steele, a 6-1 guard from Citrus Junior College (Ca.) signed last week.

The Falcons, who have made the NCAA Division II tournament five of the past six years, were 16-11 and finished third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
