At Cornell
Senior (2013-14):  McIntosh served as team captain during her senior season and led the foil squad with a record of 54-11 (10-7 Ivy League), winning a squad high 83 percent of her bouts. She took 12th at the 2014 NCAA Northeast Regional and just missed an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship.

Junior (2012-13): McIntosh was awarded the team’s Outstanding Achievement/MVP Award for the foil squad after finishing the season with a 51-17 record overall and a mark of 9-9 in the Ivy League. An outstanding student-athlete, she was also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team. One of the team's co-captains during the season, she ranked second on the foil squad in wins (51) and winning percentage (75 percent). She placed eighth at the 2013 NCAA Northeast Regional, five spots higher than her initial seeding. McIntosh earned a gold medal in foil at the Temple Fencing Open, placing first among 81 competitors. She also placed 11th out of 120 competitors at the 2012 North American Cup. Following the season, McIntosh earned the Captains Awards, presented for her leadership and hard work, as well as the team's Greatest Academic Award, for posting one of the highest GPAs on the team during the 2012-13 academic year. 

Sophomore (2011-12): During her sophomore season, McIntosh led the foil squad with a record of 46-17 overall. She went on to take sixth at the NCAA Regional tournament and qualified for the NCAA Championships, where she took 18th overall with a record of 7-16 and a touch differential of -18. She defeated three fencers who finished in the top 15, including Notre Dame's Grace Hartman, who was fifth and missed the semifinals by one decision. An outstanding student, McIntosh earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award, given to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade point average participating at the NCAA championship finals site. Following the season, she was given the Big Red’s Greatest Academics Award, as well as the Graham Jennings Award, given to a fencer that isn't in an official leadership role, but who serves as a leader on the team.

Freshman (2010-11): McIntosh had an outstanding rookie season, posting the most wins (37) and the highest winning percentage (76 percent) on the team. She finished the year with a record of 37-12 overall and a mark of 12-8 at the Ivy League tournament, going a perfect 3-0 against Yale and 2-1 vs. Columbia and Brown.
