Bobcat of the week: Caroline Thomas '09

Caroline Thomas continued her sizzling start to the 2008 season last week, scoring 11 times and assisting on three other goals in a 2-1 week for the Bates women’s lacrosse team.

Thomas scored a career-high five goals in Bates’ 13-7 win over No. 17 Williams on Saturday, adding in an assist. She played another superb game the following day against No. 12 Trinity, with 4 goals and 2 assists.

The junior attacker from Barrington, R.I., leads the Bobcats in scoring with 23 goals — already a career high — and 7 assists for 30 points through just seven games thus far. She ranks second in the NESCAC in points and third in goals scored.

Thomas and the Bobcats take on rival Colby College Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Campus Avenue Field.
