Hall of Fame & History
Megan McHugh '03 turned in a four-year assault on the regional and national scoreboards during her time with the Chestnut Hill College women's lacrosse program. McHugh never saw a net she couldn't find the back of, finishing her career as the program's all-time scoring leader with 284 goals, currently ranking her 11th in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III history. She was the NCAA scoring champion as both a junior (2002) and senior (2003), averaging 6.19 and 6.17 goals per game, respectively, during those spectacular seasons which still stand as the 10th and 11th highest scoring seasons in NCAA Division III history; as a junior (2002), McHugh notched a single-season school record 99 goals. McHugh was an All-Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference (AWCC) performer all four years and was named the team's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2001 and 2003.
McHugh was also a four-year starter on defense for the Griffin field hockey team and a standout in the classroom; a four-year member of the Chestnut Hill College Dean's List and the AWCC's All-Academic Team while also earning a spot on the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse College Association (IWLCA) National Academic Squad in 2002 and 2003. McHugh returned to her alma mater to become the women's lacrosse program's head coach in 2006.
