Thompson was also recently celebrated in a Sophomore Day game against Butte College, which was the team's regular-season finale and resulted in a 1-1 tie. The No. 23 College of the Siskiyous (10-7-1) will face No. 10 Butte again in the first round of the 3C2A NorCal Regional Playoffs on Nov. 19 at Chico State Soccer Stadium.
