Mark McGuirk was an outstanding defender for the men’s soccer team who came to Caldwell from Malahide, near Dublin, Ireland. The Cougars had a few players from Ireland in the early years of the program, and when McGuirk saw fellow countryman Niall Handley wearing a Caldwell jacket, he was interested in joining him. It certainly paid off for Caldwell, as McGuirk made the all-CACC team three times and was a four-year captain. He also helped the Cougars tie for their first CACC regular-season crown and advance to the finals of the CACC Tournament in 1993.
“I feel so honored, blessed, and humbled to be nominated for this great award,” he said. “Caldwell College gave me the opportunity to better myself through education and sports. The continuous encouragement from the college inspired me to become a dedicated educator and leader.”
McGuirk teaches physical education at Horace Mann School in Bayonne, N.J., and lives in Bloomfield, N.J., with his wife Erica and their children Liam and Ciara.
