She opened the weekend with a team-high 13 points and 14 rebounds in a 66-62 loss to against Wagner on Saturday. In the narrow loss to the Seahawks, Thomas registered 11 points and nine rebounds in the second half.

She followed that up with stellar Monday night performance, powering LIU past Mount 71-61 with her 10th double-double of the season. Thomas registered a career-high 36 points on 16-of-24 shooting along with 19 rebounds and four assists. Her 16 made field goals set a new program single-game record.
