2.2. College

Agosta distinguished herself as at Mercyhurst College when a freshman in NCAA Division I hockey during the 2006–07 season. She became the first freshman ever to make the final three for the Patty Kazmaier Award.[3] She was also a First Team All-American and a unanimous choice for CHA Player of the Year. She helped lead Mercyhurst to the NCAA quarterfinals and to its inaugural No. 1 national ranking.

During the 2007–08 season, Agosta tied Krissy Wendell's one season record of 7 shorthanded goals. In the 2008–09 season, Agosta would tie Wendell's career mark of 16 shorthanded goals. She led the 2008–09 Mercyhurst Lakers women's ice hockey team to the finals of the NCAA women's hockey championship. She was captain of the Lakers that season, as she earned numerous accolades. These included being selected as a 2009 First Team All-American, a Patty Kazmaier Award Final Three, College Hockey America Player of the Year, CHA Three-Star Player of the Year, CHA All-Tournament Team, and the Frozen Four All-Tournament Team.[3] For the month of October 2010 (her first month back to the NCAA), Agosta scored 10 goals and had 19 points. On January 21 and 22, Agosta recorded five points on two goals and three assists in a two-game sweep of Robert Morris. On January 21, she scored a goal and dished out two assists in a 6–3 win. The next day, she scored her 26th of the season while the Lakers were short-handed, and added an assist. On February 4, 2011, Meghan Agosta became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's hockey history with three goals and one assist in Mercyhurst College's 6–2 win over Wayne State. Wayne State goalie DeLayne Brian was the goaltender in the net when Agosta broke the record. Agosta's four points gave her 286 career points, one more than ex-Harvard forward Julie Chiu's record of 285 set in 2006–07. Agosta, who also owns the record for most short-handed goals and game-winning goals, added three assists in the Lakers' 3–1 win over Wayne State on February 5. On February 25, 2011, Agosta scored her 151st career goal to become all-time leading goal scorer in NCAA history.

She accomplished this in a 6–2 victory over the Robert Morris Colonials women's ice hockey program at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. She surpassed Harvard's Nicole Corriero, who set the record at 150 during the 2004–05 season. The goal was scored on the power play at 15:18 of the second period with the assist going to Bailey Bram. She later added her 152nd goal in the third period. Agosta was featured in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd feature in the February 21, 2011 issue (as recognition of becoming the all-time NCAA scorer). In 2011, Agosta was named CHA Player of the Year as well as a First Team All-CHA selection, marking the fourth time in her career she captured both accolades. On March 5, 2011, Agosta scored three goals in the CHA championship game. With the hat trick, she topped 300 points for her NCAA career as the Lakers defeated Syracuse 5–4 and captured its ninth straight College Hockey America title. On March 12, 2011, Agosta scored two goals in her final NCAA game, in what would be a 4–2 loss to the Boston University Terriers in the NCAA regional playoffs.

2.3. CWHL

In the 2011–12 season, Stars forward Agosta won the Angela James Bowl while breaking the league's single-season scoring record. Her 80 points (41 goals and 39 assists) broke the previous record of 69 points held by Jayna Hefford. By winning the 2012 Clarkson Cup, she became an unofficial member of the Triple Gold Club (the accomplishment by women is not yet officially recognized by the IIHF), as she became one of only five women to win the Clarkson Cup, a gold medal in Winter Olympics, and a gold medal at the IIHF World Women's Championships. She joined Caroline Ouellette, Jenny Potter, Kim St-Pierre, and Sarah Vaillancourt.

In the 2012–13 season, Agosta became the first two-winner of the Angela James Bowl.

4. 기타

  • 메간은 자신의 오빠 아이스하키를 하는 것을 보고 처음 하키에 감명을 받았다고 한다. 메간의 부모님은 메간의 언니 피겨스케이팅을 했기 때문에 메간에게도 피겨를 시켰었는데, 메간은 동네 애들이랑 하키 스틱과 을 가지고 노는 걸 더 흥미로워 했었다고 한다. 메간의 부모님은 메간이 하키를 하고 싶다고 하였을 때 허락해주지 않았고, 메간이 1년 동안 조른 끝에 부모님이 허락해주셨다고 한다. 그때 메간의 나이는 6살이었다.
  • 메간의 첫 하키 경기 때 메간의 팀은 총 21골을 기록하였는데, 그중 메간이 무려 19골을 넣었었고, 메간은 그 경기 이후 바로 자신의 팀보다 1단계 더 높은 팀으로 월반하였다.
  • 골프 소프트볼을 취미로 즐긴다.
  • 항상 장비를 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 입는다고 한다.
  • 가장 좋아하는 문구는 미국 역사상 가장 전설적인 여자 축구선수 미아 햄의 “Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become, and the hours of practice, and the coaches who have pushed you, is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back. Play for her.” ("운동선수가 된 당신, 그리고 몇 시간의 연습, 그리고 당신을 지지해준 코치들 너머 어딘가엔 그 경기와 사랑에 빠져 결코 뒤를 돌아보지 않았던 어린 소녀가 있다. 그녀를 위해 뛰어라")이다. 이 문구는 시대적 상황이 어려워지고 왜 자신이 이 스포츠를 시작하였는지 기억이 나지 않을 때 예전의 그 어린 소녀, 즉 그때의 자기 자신을 다시 떠올려보라는 교훈이 담긴 문구이다.
