LiAnn McCarthy has been through an awful lot. A New Orleans native, McCarthy played her first two and a half seasons in Thibodaux without adversity, starring on the Colonels’ upstart team. Midway through her junior season, McCarthy tore her ACL, which set up a two-plus-year rehab process that ended in 2015 when she returned to the floor with her team.
