Gillian Leech has been the picture of consistency when the Bobcats needed it most this season, especially in the month of January. The fifth-year libero and Brandon product has registered double-digit digs in every match but one in 2017, and led the ‘Cats back to playoff contention in the process.
                        
“Gillian has had some great performances and great stats this season, but it’s the intangibles that she brings that make us better,” says coach Lee Carter. “Her leadership, her work ethic and her attitude are constant sources of inspiration for her teammates, and her drive wills us to be better as a team. What she provides makes us better as a team, and I’m very thankful for what she’s brought to our team both in January and all season.”
 
Leech’s spectacular defensive play has been exactly what the doctor ordered for the ‘Cats. After losing fellow fifth-year Jodie Baker for the remainder of the season in mid-January, Leech has shored up the defense and provided leadership to a young group that has filled in. Leech has played in every set of every match this season, and she currently leads the Canada West conference in total digs (279).
