GB player and Franklin Pierce senior standout Johannah Leedham broke the Northeast-10 Conference record for career points in women's basketball history as well as setting a new record in NE-10 women's basketball history as she became the career leader in free throws made.
Leedham tossed in a season-high 34 points versus women's basketball team top Molloy to bring her career total to 2,202 points, which is now the new standard in NE-10 women's basketball history. Leedham broke Juana Garcia's record of 2,189 points, which she scored during her remarkable career from 1992-96 at American International College. Leedham, who needed 22 points entering the game to move into sole possession in the category, officially broke the record with a three-point play on a layup and foul shot two minutes into the second half. She was recognized with an announcement at the game's next timeout, but that wouldn't be the last time she was recognized by the PA announcer on the afternoon.
Leedham, who shot 11-of-11 from the free throw line on the afternoon, converted a pair of foul shots with :50 left in the game to set the new standard for career free throws made in the NE-10. She has 550 for her career, which broke the previous record of 547 set by Stonehill's Mary McNaughton from 1985-89.
Leedham also collected seven rebounds, dished out six assists, swiped four steals and ran the length of the court to block a shot from behind on a break-away layup.
Leedham was again recognized for her achievements on Saturday night as she dropped the ceremonial first puck before the men's ice hockey team took to the ice and defeated Stonehill 6-2.
