BOCA RATON, Fla. – The magical career of All-America candidate Martha Thomas continued to shine Friday, as the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year tallied the lone goal for the second-straight match. Her second-half strike was the difference in a 1-0 No. 8-seed Charlotte victory over No. 4-seed Louisiana Tech at the Conference USA Championships, putting the 49ers in the final for the second-consecutive year.
Thomas, who scored with just under three minutes left in regulation to hand top-seeded and No. 21 Rice a 1-0 setback in Wednesday's quarterfinals, was back at it again in Friday's semifinals against the Lady Techsters.
