JACKIE THOMAS LANDS THIRD-TEAM ALL-AMERICAN HONORS IN WOMEN'S LACROSSE

MEDFORD -- Senior defender Jackie Thomas (Needham, MA/Needham) capped her Tufts University lacrosse career by earning Third Team All-American honors from Inside Lacrosse this season.

A First Team All-Regional pick, Thomas was named an All-American for the first time and is the first Jumbo to be recognized nationally in two years.

Thomas led head coach Carol Rappoli's team with 45 ground balls, 23 draw controls and 36 caused turnovers, while also contributing four goals and five assists offensively. Her speed in transition was also a key component to a Tufts offense that ranked fourth in NESCAC with 12.86 goals per game.

The Jumbos finished 7-7 overall and 3-6 in the New England Small College Athletic Conference, just missing out on a conference tournament berth.
