Mary received an athletic scholarship to the University of Southern California where she was a 4 time all American and won the NCAA National Team Championships 1985. She turned professional in 1988 and competed in the main draw of the French, Wimbledon & US Open Championship.

After retiring from the professional circuit, Mary enjoyed a distinguished doubles career with her daughter Mary Ann, ranking #1 in 2015.
