Why doesn't this code change the bool value?

Basically, I'm trying to check if there's one player left in a round by using the MatchActive value to check if the match is currently underway. The only problem is, this code doesn't change the value of MatchActive. At first, I just tried using MatchActive, then I switched to MatchActive.Value and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

MatchStart.Event:Connect(function()
	local MatchState = MatchActive.Value
	MatchState = true
	print(MatchState)
end)

MatchEnd.Event:Connect(function()
	local MatchState = MatchActive.Value
	MatchState = false
	print(MatchState)
end)

I set MatchState to false before the game. I am using a constantly running print statement to monitor it, and it remains false.
