The Black Knights captured the Star in the annual Star Series Game on Feb. 22, 2020, after defeating the Mids, 86-75, in overtime at Christl Arena. The 86 points were the third most in a game versus Navy in 133 all-time meetings.
He additionally aided the Black Knights in a notable, 89-76, road win against the two-time defending MAC regular season and tournament champs, Buffalo, on Dec. 14.
McGuinness arrived on the banks of the Hudson following a standout four-year playing career as a point guard at Adelphi. The New City, N.Y., native ended his career as the program’s all-time leader in career assists with 721. In each of his final three seasons with the Panthers, McGuinness ranked inside the top-five nationally in Division II in assists per game and inside the top-eight in total assists.
During the 2018-19 campaign, he added to his career achievements by becoming the 37th player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. His final season was punctuated by being named MBWA All-Met First Team and Third Team All-NE10.
