Former Academy at the Lakes hoops standout Audra Leipold, now a rising senior at Seffner Christian Academy, has committed to Samford University, a Division I program in Homewood, Alabama.
Leipold, a 5-foot-7 combo guard, also held college offers from University of Tampa, Saint Leo University and Furman University in South Carolina.
Leipold was a four-year starter at Academy at the Lakes, until she transferred to Seffner Christian last July.
Regarded as one of the top hoopers in Tampa, ESPN.com ranks Leipold among the nation’s top 80 guards based on her dribbling and passing skills, and mid-range shooting ability.
She averaged 12.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game last season.
