Meagan Maguire '26 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play college softball at the highest level I can.  I enjoy leading and helping my team win in very competitive situations.  My coaches have called me 'stone cold'.  The more intense the game situation is, the more focused I become.  High-pressure games are sort of my happy place.  It feels like it is where I am meant to be.  I hope that I can continue to compete at that level when I go to college.

Academically, I would like to pursue an undergraduate degree that enables me to go to Law School.  This seems like a good fit because I enjoy making logical arguments and winning them.  

Softball has helped me become who I am today.  When I was in elementary-middle school, I was very overweight.  I was bullied by other kids and had a hard time making friends.  The softball field was the only place I felt seen and valued by other kids.  The doctors eventually figured out that a gluten allergy was causing my weight gain.  I was able to change my diet, exercise, and lose weight by the end of 8th grade. I learned that hard work and dedication can overcome almost anything.  The experience taught me the importance of compassion and helping others.  I hope to someday be able to give back to the sport, coach, and help young girls do the same.
