Named CIS rookie of the year back in 2005-06, the 23-year-old native of Rosem猫re, Que., 听earned back-to-back first-team nods in 2006-07 and 2007-08 to go with three second-team selections. Thomson, who is completing a master's degree in education, was a five-time all-star in the Quebec conference. This past season, she finished third among league leaders in digs (3.71), fifth in kills (3.02 per game), seventh in service aces (0.37) and eighth in hitting percentage (.226).
