She earned the Most Improved Player award during her junior year of high school at Serra after averaging 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. She was a two-year letter winner with the Conquistadors.
McDonnell joins Keyanna Johnson, Jasmine Grayson, Justine Johnson and Jasmine Cannon as additions to the 2012-13 squad.
