McClaughry had previously held head coaching positions at MacMurray College and Robert Morris University-Springfield. Just six games into the COVID-19 Pandemic-shortened 2020 season – her first at MacMurray – McClaughry had guided the Highlanders to within one win of the previous year’s entire win total. The team was rewriting the program’s record books and had two players hitting .500 when the season ended.
