As a hockey player, McAnally’s stats the last two years with the Pittsburgh Jr. Penguins travel hockey program borders on the unbelievable.  In just her senior year, McAnally registered forty-five goals and fifty-eight assists for one hundred, three points – this in just fifty-three games.  McAnally is a multi-faceted athlete too; great hockey stats are just part of the story.  Another of her athletic passions are the marital arts.  She holds two black belts, one in the Shotokan discipline and another in the Chito-Ryu discipline.  “She does all this stuff and still finds time to volunteer at Pittsburgh’s Library for the Blind” says Coach Cunningham.

McAnally is no less passionate about her academic pursuits.  Graduating with Honors from North Allegheny Senior High, McAnally registered a 3.8 cumulative GPA.  She won special distinction in this year’s Special Engineering contests, which pits top high school students from Ohio and Pennsylvania against one another in a series of engineering related academic tests.  McAnally intends to study Aerospace Engineering and Nuclear Physics at Ohio State.
