I'm proud to be a Wildcat because: Wildcats before me have helped me succeed and I want to do the same for the future Wildcats. 

What do you enjoy most about being a student-athlete at St. Catherine?: The St. Catherine athletics department is a community that is constantly striving to give oppportunities, support and friendship to female athletes. I also enjoy our team philosophy "Dream. Work. Achieve." 

2015: In her final season as a Wildcat, Leyva played and started in all 19 games. She earned her second All-MIAC Honorable Mention honor after finishing second on the team in goals (7) and points (21) and leading the team in assists (21). Her five assists in MIAC games were the most int he regular season. Leyva also ranked in the top 10 in five scoring categories this season and earned MIAC Athlete-of-the-Week Oct. 13 after a five-point week. She finishes her career ranked No. 5 all-time at St. Kate's for points (44), No. 3 for assists (14), and No. 8 for goals (15). Leyva is part of a senior class that recorded the most wins in a four-year time span in program history finishing 35-34-2. She also earned Academic All-MIAC honors.
