Jack Keffer ’14: The perfect competitor must possess a myriad of qualities aside from athletic ability: leadership, mental toughness, and composure. Meghan Hubley ’13 is the epitome of such a competitor, a tri-sport athlete dedicated to her teams. She will serve as a tri-sport varsity captain this year, leading the varsity soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams.
Meghan Hubley ’13 has truly left her mark on Episcopal sports. Hubley has been a member of the varsity soccer and basketball teams since her freshman year and a member of the varsity lacrosse team since sophomore year. As a tri-sport varsity captain, her superb leadership is unquestionable. She has led her teams to many impressive victories. Over her four years at Episcopal, Hubley has played instrumental roles on all of her championship teams: she was a part of three Inter-Ac championships in soccer and lacrosse, and two state titles in lacrosse. She has been one of the key factors in the basketball team’s turnaround in the last three years, along with fellow captains Megan Quinn ’13 and Kristen Hinckley ’13. This year’s basketball team is expected to make a run at an Inter-Ac championship, something the girls’ basketball team has never done before.
Recently, Hubley committed to Navy for lacrosse. Lacrosse has been a part of her life since she started playing in 7th grade. When asked about her choice to attend Navy, Hubley ’13 explained, “I really liked the coaches and teams. I think being at Navy is really cool and it fits my personality.”
Hubley will not only be able to continue playing lacrosse at a competitive level, but she will also have the honor of serving our country. She noted, “[Serving our country] is intense, but I think it’s really cool and there is a lot of honor in it.” Hubley’s athletics will come in handy during her service. Through her experiences in sports, she believes she has learned how to remain mentally and physically tough even when facing obstacles, a trait that will help her in the Navy.
Over the past few months, Hubley has faced quite an obstacle. In May, Hubley tore her ACL in a lacrosse game, an injury that sidelined her for the entire soccer season and will keep her out for a portion of the basketball season.
She explained,“I was just running with the ball and I tried to cut hard. My knee gave out. When they were taking me off the field, they were telling me it was fine and that I didn’t tear my ACL. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.”
However, she didn’t let this injury bring her down. Since May, she has been working hard to recover as quickly as possible. Despite her injury, Hubley still stayed actively involved in the soccer team, leading the team to an Inter-Ac title from the sidelines.
Hubley believes, “It was easier knowing [she] wasn’t going to be back this season because [she] knew my role was on the sideline coming into the season.”
As for the rest of her senior year, Hubley is already looking ahead to lacrosse season. She stated, “The expectation of this year’s lacrosse season is no different than in past years: win.”
Hubley, alongside fellow captains Lindsey Reder ’13 and Mary Catherine Curran ’13, will lead the girls’ lacrosse team, hoping to build upon the success of recent seasons. A band of Division 1 commits will dominate Episcopal’s lacrosse field come spring, and the team has the potential for greatness.
However, right now, Hubley is focused on her current sport: basketball. Hubley predicted that her squad will win the Inter-Ac title this year. She confidently stated, “We should win the league. We have a lot of talent, and we have been working for this for four years.”
The fact that the girls’ basketball team has never won a championship further motivates her. She explained, “We want to win. We want to leave a legacy.”
Hubley has not fallen short of that goal. She exemplifies the Episcopal stripes both on and off the field and will most definitely leave a legacy at this school.leave a legacy behind her at Episcopal.
