The difference I see between Leah and Abby is that Leah carried Messiah to a much greater extent. Abby had Bridget to share the load. Leah alone led Messiah in points (17.5), rebounds (11.1), assists (3.5), free throw %, blocks, and even steals. I see very few other players in D3 being able to objectively measure up across the board. These stats reveal her as a textbook example of a player who really is able to play any position on the floor.
As to "competing on every play," from Feb 12 on, Leah was playing with a severely sprained ankle. Unfortunately for her, she injured it even more in the second quarter against Springfield (after scoring 10 points and grabbing 7 rebounds in the first quarter alone). Her presence was sorely missed as Messiah fell 73-68, despite a valiant effort. Had Leah been healthy and able to play the whole game, I suspect the end result would have been different.
