During the summer of 2011, she was one of eight former Ottawa Senators PWHL players (along with Amanda Levielle, Morgan Richardson, Cydney Roesler: U-18 camp; Jamie Lee Rattray, Isabel Menard and Erica Howe: U22 camp) that participated in the Hockey Canada Under 18 and Under 22 training camps at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland, Ontario.[2] On October 3, 2011, she was named to the Team Canada roster that participated in the 2011 4 Nations Cup.[3]

Against the Robert Morris Colonials, McKeough had two assists (played on November 7). She repeated the feat on January 23 versus St. Cloud State. Her plus minus rating of +25 led the Badgers.[4]

During the 2010-11 season, McKeough had five games with two points scored. Versus the Ohio State Buckeyes (on October 22), she scored two goals as Wisconsin beat Ohio State by a 6-5 tally in overtime.[5] McKeough would miss four games during the season as she helped Canada win gold at the 2011 MLP Cup.
