The Forest Hill, Md. native scored four goals in the first half of Friday's contest, including two within two minutes of each other to end the first half and give Maryland a 10-6 advantage at the break and went on a 4-1 run herself to end the first half and begin the second half, scoring four goals in a row for the Terps, two to end the first half and two to start the second half, all with in eight minutes of each other. 

Leubecker backed up her Friday night performance with a hat-trick in Sunday's 12-9 win, tying the game at four with 7:30 left in the first half and then breaking a 5-5 tie to give Maryland their first lead of the day with three minutes left in the first half. Her two goals were key in a 7-1 Maryland run to end the first half to take control.

Earlier this week, Leubecker was named the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week. These are the first weekly and national honors of Leubecker's career, who was the No. 9 overall ranked recruit by Inside Lacrosse in the Class of 2019.
