McGonigle is a fearless left handed goalie who brings an aggressive and confident presence both inside and outside the crease. She does not wait for the offense to dictate the possession; she tracks movement through “X,” looks for opportunities to disrupt feeds, and is always a threat to intercept a pass or win a ground ball. Her activity forces attackers to think twice before attempting to sneak the ball through the middle.

Her hand eye coordination and quick reflexes allow her to follow the ball through traffic and react to late releases. McGonigle is especially impressive against low shots, where she refuses to protect herself at the expense of making the save. She puts her body on the line, attacks the ball, and has the ability to create momentum changing stops.
