Mikey Meagher Named to 2026 UF Athletics Hall of Fame Class
Thursday, May 28, 2026 | Lacrosse
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – After taking a leap of faith when she signed on to join the inaugural Gators lacrosse team for the 2010 season, Mikey Meagher would become the back of a program over the next four years and helped quickly transform the program to a startup into one of the nation's elite teams.
Now, Meagher will receive the utmost honor when she is inducted into the UF Athletics Hall of Fame this fall as a member of the 2026 class.
Meagher becomes the second lacrosse player to be named a Gator Great, joining teammate Kitty Cullen, who was honored as a member of the 2025 UF Athletics Hall of Fame Class
Gator Greats are Letterwinners who brought recognition and prominence to the University of Florida and themselves by their athletic accomplishments as a student-athlete.
The 2026 class will be inducted at the Hall of Fame Banquet on Friday, October 9, 2026 ahead of the home football game against South Carolina.

Mikey Meagher's dominance in goal left her mark as one of the best goalkeepers in program history, and it's reflected in the national rankings during her career. Meagher led the nation in both goals-against average (7.04) and save percentage (.537) as a junior in 2012, while also ranking among the NCAA leaders again in 2013 with a 6.90 goals-against average and .502 save percentage.
Her career goals-against average of 7.58 still stands as the best in Florida program history, cementing her legacy as one of the defining players in Gator's lacrosse history. Meagher also ranks second in program history in wins (50), third in saves (407), savers per game (5.73) and minutes played (3,371:26)
Meagher made history in 2013 as the first goalkeeper ever named among the five finalists for the Tewaaraton Award, recognizing the nation's top collegiate lacrosse player. Her selection underscored both her individual dominance and the rapid rise of Florida lacrosse on the national stage.
Meagher's brilliance in net earned her the 2012 and 2013 Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award as the nation's top goalkeeper, while also claiming consecutive WomensLax.com and SynapseSports.com Goalie of the Year honors in 2012 and 2013. In her final season, she was named the American Lacrosse Conference Goalkeeper of the Year.
Meagher's play earned her back-to-back First Team All-American Honors from the IWLCA, SynapseSports.com and WomensLax.com, being only one of four players in program history to earn First Team All-American honors from three organizations in a season, and one of three to do it twice in their career.
