McLeod, an All-Southland Conference second team player and a first team academic all-conference selection, finished her redshirt senior season with a 36% shooting clip from behind the arc. McLeod nailed 73 triples, the 15th-most in the nation this season, and averaged a team-high 16.7 points per game, the third-highest mark in the conference.
