Leitch garners back-to-back NEC Player of the Week honors after hitting .378 with 46 kills and 17 blocks in a 3-0 week for Robert Morris, as the Colonials extended their win streak to 10-matches. In a five-game win over Cleveland State, the senior middle blocker helped RMU defeat Cleveland State for the first time in 16 matches by hitting .459 with 20 kills, six blocks and two digs. She then came up with 11 kills, six blocks and two digs while hitting .450 in a 3-0 win against Quinnipiac. In a battle between the NEC’s two remaining undefeated teams in conference play, Leitch closed the week with 15 kills and five blocks to help defeat CCSU, 3-2. With the win, the Colonials claimed the top seed in the upcoming NEC Tournament on Nov. 20-21. On the year, the Prince Frederick, MD native leads the NEC in hitting percentage (.420), while also ranking fourth in the country. She also ranks second in the league in blocks (0.99 bpg/102 overall) and fourth in kills (3.89 kpg/401 overall).
