Megan McGowan dominated for Keuka College Women's Tennis from her first year on campus. Playing in the top flight for both singles and doubles, McGowan made it to the NEAC Championship in both. She fell in singles competition but won the doubles championship with her partner, Alison Liberty. After winning seven singles matches as a first-year student, she upped that number with eight victories as a sophomore, including winning the NEAC Championship and being named Conference Player of the Year. McGowan and Liberty also defended their conference title in doubles. The Green and Gold advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2009 for the first time in program history.

The wins kept coming as a junior; she set the school record with 10 wins in singles competition and 17 overall, including doubles. She made it to the conference championship for the third straight year but fell in the final match. McGowan and Liberty secured the third straight doubles title in flight one, however. In her final season, McGowan found herself again in the conference championship for both singles and doubles. She won her second singles title to be named a two-time player of the year but lost in the doubles final to miss out on the four-peat. As a team, Keuka College won the North Eastern Athletic Conference Championship in 2011.

For her career, Megan McGowan totaled 67 wins, 36 in singles competition and 31 in doubles, both school records. In her 2009-10 season, she went 10-2 in singles, the best season in program history. By making it to the championship match in both singles and doubles all four seasons, Megan earned eight All-Conference awards including five First Team All-Conference honors, to go along with her two Conference Player of the Year awards and the 2010-11 team title.
