Head Coach Fabian McKenzie's Take:

"We are very excited to add Leandra to our program. Leandra is a tremendous young lady and very focused academically. She is exactly what we look for in a CAPERS athlete. Leandra has a lot of the skills and attributes we feel will allow her to be a successful AUS player. She has a great work ethic and possesses the right mindset for improvement. She has nice guard skills and the ability to shoot the ball which will help us stretch the defense. Once she learns the adaptation to the level of speed and physical play in the AUS, we feel she will become a big piece of our program. "

Why did you choose CBU?

"After my visit to CBU I just knew it was where I wanted to go next year. I really liked the team chemistry and the culture that Head Coach Fabian McKenzie builds for team success. I really feel that CBU provides me with the best opportunity to succeed both on and off the court."

How do you see yourself helping the CAPERS next season?

I'm a fast guard that can run the floor well on a fast break. I can also shoot the ball for 3 with a quick release. I think my good work ethic and drive to improve will help me add value to the team."
