Elizabeth Greason | Monday, April 10, 2017

Outstanding Senior Female Athlete: Kayla McBride

Greg Hadley | Friday, May 16, 2014

Kayla McBride was not always an All-American. The 5-foot-11 guard from Erie, Pa., came to Notre Dame as a four-star recruit and high school star but with little fanfare compared to the hoopla surrounding the arrival of superstar Skylar Diggins just a year earlier. In her freshman season, McBride spent half the year riding the
