McIntosh came to LC’s campus after enjoying a stellar prep career at Zwolle High School. While at Zwolle, McIntosh was a two-time All-State player, Class 2A State Tournament MVP, and helped lead her team to the 1987 Louisiana Class 2A State Championship.

During the 1991-92 season, Leggett ranked second in the GCAC in scoring (22.3 ppg), second in assists per game (4.7), and once again led the conference in three-point field goal shooting (42.3). McIntosh helped lead the Lady Wildcats to one of the best four-year periods in program history. During her four years on the Pineville campus, the Lady Wildcats compiled an overall record of 79-37 while winning two district championships and one Gulf Coast Athletic Conference championship.
On the bench as the Lady Wildcat head coach, McIntosh totaled 80 wins and led her teams to post-season play three times.
