Given a matching $M$ in the hypercube $Q^n$, the \emph{profile} of $M$ is the vector $\boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,\ldots, x_n) \in \mathbb{N}^n$ such that $M$ contains $x_i$ edges whose endpoints differ in the $i$th coordinate. If $M$ is a perfect matching, then it is clear that $||\boldsymbol{x}||_1 = 2^{n-1}$ and it is easy to show that each $x_i$ must be even. Verifying a special case of a conjecture of Balister, Gy\H{o}ri, and Schelp, we show that these conditions are also sufficient.
