One of the top field hockey players in La Salle history, McGugan starred on the 1980 La Salle team that went 19-6 and defeated Missouri State, 3-2, to win the program's first and only national championship. 

As a freshman in 1979, McGugan registered 16 goals and had 34 points, which stand third and eighth, respectively, on the all-time single-season lists at La Salle. She scored 38 points during that 1980 campaign, which stands fourth all-time, and matched her 16 goals from the prior season to help the Explorers to the national title. 

For her career, McGugan still stands as the all-time leader in games played at 83 and ranks second in the record book with 51 goals and 116 points. Over her four seasons, La Salle compiled a 52-27-7 record, which is good for an impressive .645 winning percentage.
