Biography
Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, McDaniel was a three-time All-American tennis player at Louisiana State University in the late 1970s.
McDaniel had her best run in a grand slam tournament at the 1979 Wimbledon Championships, with wins over Katja Ebbinghaus and Marie Pinterova, before losing in the third round to 15th seed Betty Stove in three sets.[2]
In 1980 she achieved a rare feat when she won an Avon Futures title in Atlanta as a lucky loser.
McDaniel is now a professor at Lee University, where she teaches health science. She runs a free annual summer camp for kids on the university grounds.[3]
