WACO, Texas – Louisiana Christian University women's basketball student-athlete Kylei Leblanc earned her second Red River Athletic Conference Weekly Award of the season on Monday, being named its Defensive Player of the Week.
 
Leblanc, a sophomore forward/center from Lake Charles, La., averaged seven defensive rebounds, five steals, and 3.5 blocks per game in a 1-1 week for the Wildcats. She did that while averaging 24 points on 50 percent shooting with two more rebounds on the offensive side of the glass per contest during the week.

She followed that up with 23 points, nine rebounds, six steals, four blocks, and two assists in Saturday's contest against Texas College.
 
This is Leblanc's third career RRAC Defensive Player of the Week award and second of this season. She was also named the NAIA's Defensive Player of the Week the previous time she won the RRAC's award this season.
