A triple-double threat every game, McKendrick had a season-high of 36 points against the North Adelaide Rockets, pulling down nine double-digit rebounding games and having seven 5+ assist games during the 2023 season. 

"I couldn't be more excited to be back for another year with such a great group of teammates and an exceptional coaching staff,” she said.

“This group and club has always felt like home to me.”

The Tigers lost in the Preliminary Final to the eventual champion Norwood Flames, with McKendrick stating the team has some unfinished business from last season’s defeat. 

Personally, I feel I have some unfinished business from my performance in finals last season,” she said.

“So I'm looking forward to getting to work with such a talented group of people to see how far we can go."
