Thievon grabs her first CSC award after having a solid sophomore campaign for the Pios, grabbing a career-high four shutouts this season en route to a 3-6-3 record. Thievon, who earned MAAC Defensive Player of the Week honors on October 7, set a new career-high in single game saves in the 2-1 win over Fairfield and established a career-long shutout streak of 359:13 of game action. In the classroom, she holds a 3.97 GPA while pursuing a degree in Exercise Science.
