Junior Joshua Leader was almost untouchable through just over 388 minutes of action in ART U's four-part Hawaii roadtrip. Starting off against Chaminade last Saturday, Leader earned back-to-back shutouts (something only ever done in Hawaii by Ian Sutherland in 2010) and allowed just two goals in four starts.

The transfer from Tennessee Wesleyan College had six saves in a 6-0 victory at Chaminade (Oct. 26) then turned around and saved three shots two days later in the 0-0 tie at BYU-Hawaii (Oct. 28). On Oct. 31, Leader logged five saves while allowing a single goal that unfortunately resulted in a 1-0 win for UH Hilo. Then at Hawaii Pacific, he offered a pair of saves in a 2-1 overtime win for the Knights.

All in all, Leader had 16 saves on the Hawaiian Islands and currently ranks second in the Pacific West Conference in goals against average (1.06) and fourth in save percentage (.756).
