SEWANEE, Tenn. – Phelps Thomas collected five points on three goals and two assists as the Tigers opened conference play against Oglethorpe at home on Sunday afternoon with a 13-2 win. 

A Piedmont turnover and a ground ball from Stew Moxley led to the first goal of the day from Zach Crain with an assist from Hudson Gregory.
