Members of the Allegheny women’s soccer team had just arrived on campus last week when coach Michael Webber approached sophomore Jessie Thiessen. Webber wanted to make sure his top player was ready to tackle a season of new challenges.
Thiessen, a Fox Chapel graduate, led the Gators and the conference in goals (11) and points (28) to earn North Coast Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Year honors as well as a spot on the NCAC first team. This year, she’ll garner a lot more attention from the opposition.
