St. Thomas midfielder Sarah Lyppert Thomsson is the Sun Conference Offensive Player of the Week for women's soccer for the week of Aug. 22.
Lyppert Thomsson was spectacular in the season-opener on the road at Georgia Gwinnett, a team listed among those receiving votes in the NAIA Preseason Top 25 Poll. Lyppert Thomsson gave the Bobcats an early lead with a spectacular quick-strike from 35 yards that eluded the GGC goalkeeper and found the top right corner of the net in the 14th minute. In the 53rd minute with the score 2-1, Lyppert Thomsson scored her second goal of the game on a free kick from 25 yards out that provided the Bobcats with insurance en route to a 3-1 victory. Both of Lyppert Thomsson's goals were unassisted.
