“I am so proud of Leah,” said UAM head coach Adam Buie. “She could have easily given up after what happened to her in Kansas City at the Preview Tournament, but she worked hard and got redemption this week with a win. She has come so far in the -plus year I’ve been here due to her hard work and dedication.”
