A sophomore keeper from Colorado Springs, Leeper was part of a defensive effort that helped the Loper soccer team tie 24th-ranked Regis, 0-0, Sunday afternoon in Denver.

The tie helped UNK keep its postseason changes alive. It also marked the program's first win or tie against a nationally-ranked team.

Rotating in goal with Marissa Niday all season, Leeper stopped 11 shots in the second half and overtime. For the year, Leeper is 3-4-3 with 55 saves and a 0.93 GAA.
