"I've always wanted to play collegiate ball and to get the opportunity is absolutely amazing," Lecker said. "I'm looking forward to going to the city, meeting new people, and upping my game and playing much harder competition."
Lecker has been a steady contributor for the Lady Hornets the past 4 seasons, with her best two seasons coming in 2017 and 2018 with 13 hits each at the plate. Lecker finished her career 32-for-140 (.229) at the plate with 25 runs scored, 1 double, 2 triples, 22 RBIs, and 11 walks.
