'The beast within'

A high tear in her Achilles tendon caused Xylina McDaniel to miss a majority of the North Carolina women's basketball team's 2014-15 season. After recovering from the injury and fighting off others, McDaniel is back this season with a vengeance.

She is playing with an unfamiliar team of walk-ons and first-years, but that isn't stopping her from trying to dominate on the court for her team.
