Lake Mary's Courtney McDaniel has learned to appreciate every step she takes on the soccer field these days.

The senior has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee twice — injuries that required surgery, forcing her to miss most of her sophomore season and all of her junior season.

"I don't want to leave anything on the field, because every time I play, I know it can be taken away that quickly," McDaniel said. "When I'm out there, I really want to do my part, because I wasn't able to do it the last two years."

Now healthy, McDaniel has thrived for the host Rams (10-3), accounting for six goals and four assists heading into a matchup with Hagerty (10-2-2) at 5 p.m. Friday in the semifinals of the Julie Weber Classic.
