Leflar has been part of a highly successful period for Massachusetts women's basketball.

He also was part of the 2022-23 team that finished 27-7 overall and 14-2 in Atlantic 10 play, advanced to the second round of the WNIT, and set a program single-season record with 27 wins. That season also included the first back-to-back 20-win campaigns in program history, a 12-game winning streak, and the program's highest league win total in a season.
