During her youth soccer career, McDaniel was invited to Olympic Development Programs and US National Team ID Camps.[8] When McDaniel was 12, she was allowed to train with the Philippines national team at a training camp in California after her mother reached out to Ernie Nierras.[8]
College career

Club career
[edit]McDaniel had played for the American club, So Cal Union FC, which is based in Temecula, California.[10][11] After her stint in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, she along her sister Chandler joined Stallion Laguna of the PFF Women's League.[12][13] They left and went back to the United States after losing their debut match against La Salle.[14]
On March 7, 2024, McDaniel was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1 side Santos, joining compatriot Reina Bonta.[15] Despite overtaking Karen Hipólito in the starting eleven, she lost her spot to Kelly Chiavaro, and was released on July 12.[16]
