Leeper has record day leading JCCC to 13-0 win

     OVERLAND PARK, KS --  Johnson County Community College freshman forward Emily Leeper netted a school and Region VI record six goals while powering the Lady Cavaliers to a 13-0 road victory over Coffeyville Community College, Wednesday afternoon.   Her six-goal effort was just two shy of the national record.  

    Leeper, a graduate of Topeka High School, also had an assist, giving her 13 total points, which ties her with former JCCC All-American Shannen Taylor for points tallied in a game.  Leeper had a goal and an assist  in JCCC’s 5-2 win at Garden City in the season opener.

    Leeper’s performance overshadowed another key effort by freshman Courtney Cowan.  A freshman forward from Olathe South, Cowan registered her first collegiate hat trick, scoring the first, ninth and 10th goals of the game.   She also had an assist on the fourth goal.

    Sophomore Rachelle Luster (Shawnee Mission Northwest), added two goals and two assists, and Lindsay Wiese (Hutchinson, Kan.) netted one goal and had two assists.    Sophomores Monique Richardson (Lansing, Kan.) and Chelsea Sheahan (Shawnee Mission Northwest) each had two assists, and sophomore Jayme Landgraf (Sleepy Hollow, Ill.) and freshman Danielle Fesler (Hutchinson, Kan.) each recorded one assist in the victory.

    Freshman Megan Brown and sophomore Amanda Shrader shared the shutout.  The victory improved JCCC to 2-0 on the season.
