Leonard, a junior from Yorktown, Va., picks up her fifth weekly honor by leading the Hornets to a 5-0 shutout victory over then second-ranked Franklin & Marshall College on Tuesday night. Leonard played a part in four of the five goals as she notched a hat-trick and assisted on one other tally. She broke a 0-0 tie in the 56th minute with her first goal of the contest, and then followed that with another tally 78 seconds later. She struck again in the 63rd minute for a 4-0 lead, and assisted Nicole Marburger on the game's final goal in the 67th minute. Leonard leads the ODAC in points (51) and goals scored (22). Entering last week, she was fifth in the country in points per game (3.67) and sixth in goals per game (1.58). She has registered at least one point in all but one game this season, and has scored two goals in 6-of-13 games played.
