Profile
Meghan McDonogh is one of Catholic University’s most decorated coaches as evidenced by nine Landmark Conference championships in 10 years of the league.

McDonogh also serves as an associate athletic director as well as the Senior Woman Administrator (SWA).

Coach McDonogh now boasts four-straight Landmark titles and earned her 13th NCAA Tournament victory in 2017 after another nationally-ranked season. McDonogh and her group of 13 seniors reached remarkable heights as the group went undefeated in both regular season and playoff conference games over their four-year span and advanced to the NCAA Regional Semifinal this past season.

The Cardinals made it a Landmark Conference three-peat in 2016 and road the momentum to two NCAA Tournament victories and a second-straight appearance in the National Quarterfinals.

The 2015 season saw Catholic capture yet another league title and two NCAA tournament victories before falling to the national No. 1 seed and eventual champion by just one goal in the Elite 8. In addition to a No. 5/6 ranking and a 16-4 overall record, the Cards went undefeated in league play for the sixth-consecutive season.

2014 provided the Cardinals with a stellar 12-6 overall record with a perfect 6-0 record in the Landmark Conference. CUA completed a fantastic conference tournament by taking the 2014 Landmark Conference Championship, where they defeated Susquehanna 20-9. The Cardinals earned a NCAA Tournament berth where they played Franklin & Marshall in the Second Round.

2012 saw the Cardinals post a 16-6 record, which included their fourth unbeaten Landmark Conference regular season in the last five years. CUA ripped off nine straight wins towards the end of the season, including both conference tournament contests and two NCAA Tournament games, which propelled the Cardinals to their third NCAA Regional Final in the last five years.

CUA checked in at No. 11 in the final IWLCA top-20 poll and raised its win total to 78 over the last five seasons, good for an average of nearly 16 victories per year.

It was a banner year for the program from an individual standpoint, with Mary Swarthout becoming the first student-athlete to be named a two-time First Team All-American. Swarthout was also named an ECAC All-Star, and First Team All-Region and All-Conference performer.

In all, six Cardinals were named to the All-Conference Teams, with Swarthout receiving Player of the Year laurels for the third straight season, and Lindsay Brophy being named Rookie of the Year. Four student-athletes were then named to the All-Region Teams and Swarthout was selected to the prestigious North-South Senior Game.
