Destinyโs honor is fitting as CSU continues their fantastic season. Even though Green Bay was the regular season champion for the league (18-2), the Vikings set program firsts with their 27-4 record and 17-3 conference totals.
The Eastlake North graduate didnโt get a chance to star at the Ohio High School tournament due to COVID-19, but she is making up for that lost season with her time in the NCAA.
Horizon League Statistics for Leo
Leo led the Horizon league in scoring (19.3 ppg), triples per game (2.6), and triple percentage (39.8%). From the field, she is over 40% for her shooting average and 91.9% from the charity stripe. Not only is the 91.9% a league leading figure, but itโs #2 in all of Women’s NCAA basketball in 2023. Leoโs 160 attempts to date is first in the nation!
Leo’s Teammates awarded!
Leoโs teammates made news, too. Deja Williams, won the 6th Player of the Year award! Makiya Miller joined the list as a member of the all freshman team. Barbara Zieniewska made the All-Defensive team.
Stick Together. Work Hard. Have Fun.
