Thomas Captures AMCC Offensive Honors, 5th-Straight OPOTW Award for Express Women's Lacrosse

Lydia Thomas has secured the AMCC Women's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week Award for the week of April 8th - April 15th. The awards marks Thomas' second time achieving the honor in this season alone. The award also marks the 5th-consecutive AMCC Women's Lacrosse OPOTW win for the Express as a whole, with the 4 previous honors all being awarded to Wells players.

Thomas has had a great year in what is to be her final season donning an Express uniform. The spectacular senior is all over the AMCC leaderboards, ranking 3rd in the conference for both goals and assists, with 33 and 18 respectively. The Colton, NY native has also inspired her teammates with great veteran leadership, elevating an outstanding offense that ranks 4th in Division III for goals per game with 18.18.

This past week, Thomas powered a nationally-ranked Express offense in their two huge victories over Hilbert and La Roche. Thomas was the main force behind a Wells offensive unit that scored 46 goals over their two games last week. Thomas had 10 of those goals, contributing to her team's success while also spending the majority of the year being featured heavily in the AMCC leaderboards. Thomas recorded five assists to end the week with 15 total points. Thomas was a key contributor all over the field, also logging eight ground balls and six draw controls.

Thomas and the Express are on a tough road trip this week, matching up with Bryn Athyn, Hilbert, and Mount Aloysius as they look to remain unbeaten entering the final stretch of the regular season.
