Maguire owns several NCAA records, which makes her go down not just as the best female collegian of the past decade, but one of the best in history. Throughout the course of her college career, Maguire had 87 rounds of even par or better and 32 rounds in the 60s – the most in NCAA history. She also owns the lowest stroke average in NCAA history (70.97) among players who logged 100 or more rounds.

All told, Maguire won 10 times and finished in the top 10 a total of 35 times. She was voted by her peers (along with college coaches and media) as the ANNIKA Award winner after her freshman and junior seasons, becoming the first two-time winner of the award (a feat later repeated by Fassi).
