In a remarkable turn of events, Mariah stepped out of retirement in 2022, returning to the court as a formidable force for the Berkeley Royals in the WPBA. Her outstanding performance earned her a spot on the 2022 all-star team, and she continues to shine as the 2023 WPBA all-star team Captain. Further showcasing her talent, Mariah seized the opportunity to represent Cambodia's national 3x3 and 5v5 Women's basketball team in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games this past May.
