Megan’s high character, leadership and work ethic set the tone for Northwestern's recent success in Women's Tennis when she led her squad to back-to-back regular season and tournament championships in 2014 and 2015. These two championships earned the team trips to the NCCAA National Tournaments in Mobile, AL after each season as well. During her four years, Megan was selected All-UMAC First Team each year and was the three-time UMAC Player of the Year (2013-15). Upon completion of her stellar career Megan was at the top of virtually every single season and career statistic in the record books. In 2019

Megan was named to the 6-player UMAC All-Decade Team 2019. She graduated Magna Cum Laude, was in the Eagle Honors Program and was both an NCCAA and ITA Scholar Athlete. Her senior year she was Northwestern’s Eagle Award Winner and the school’s nomination for the NCAA Woman of the Year.

Together David and Megan have 2 children, Keona and Nadia, and live in Woodbury, MN where in 2019 David started an already successful dental practice, Knight Pediatric Dentistry.
