Campus corner: Juniata’s McDonald honored

Published: March 5, 2013 

Earning Landmark All-Conference honors is getting familiar for State College’s Kate McDonald.

A junior at Juniata, McDonald has been named to the all-conference team for the third time in her career.

“Day in, day out, she brings everything she has,’’ said Juniata head coach Danny Young-Uhrich in a school release. “She’s tough, she goes hard and she leaves everything she has on the floor. She leads the team in pretty much every statistical category. More importantly, from a coach’s perspective, she consistently does the little things we, as coaches, ask of our players.’’

McDonald averaged 14.1 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.2 blocks, all team-leading marks this season as Juniata posted a 19-9 record.
