Thomas is only one of two Volunteers to bag 40 goals in her collegiate career and currently sits second all-time in program history behind Kylee Rossi (43).
The Dallas, Texas, native also recorded her 12th career game-winner and is currently fourth-all time in school history in career game-winning goals.
Tennessee (7-1-3), also tallied their seventh clean sheet on the year, which extends UT’s current unbeaten streak to 10 matches and home unbeaten streak to eight.
The Big Orange also controlled most of the game with a 72 percent possession rate and held Missouri (3-7-2) to just seven total shots.
The Lady Vols got off to a hot start offensively, registering seven corners and five shots in the first half.
In the 21st minute, UT found a breakthrough off a corner, after a ball that found Ally Brown. Brown poked the ball across goal to give Thomas a tap-in for her first goal of the season.
The second half was the standard defensive onslaught the Lady Vols have produced a majority of the season, holding the Tigers to only three shots while also allowing only one corner kick.
Thomas led the team in shots with two as Reese Mattern, Mac Midgley, Leah Klurman, Muriel Kroflin and Jasmine Boggs logged one apiece.
