Magis Field at the Kevin P. Quinn, S.J. Athletics Campus opened on April 7, 2018, as the Royals softball team christened their new home with a doubleheader
sweep of Cazenovia.
Magis Field features a synthetic-turf field with more than 200 bleacher seats, home and away bullpens and a batting cage. It also features LED lighting for night games and a press box.
The name "Magis Field" was chosen by former University Trustee Dennis J. McGonigle '82 and his wife, Rachel. Magis, the Latin word meaning "more," refers to the relentless desire to do more – or greater – for the glory of God, which is a core Jesuit value and a key component of a Jesuit education.
A resident of Chester Springs, Pa., McGonigle is chief financial officer and executive vice president at SEI Investments, responsible for guiding the efforts of a number of teams within the company, including finance and accounting, corporate enterprise risk management, workforce development, and the SEI Private Wealth Management unit. He is also integrally involved in the setting of SEI's broader corporate strategy.
Prior to his appointment as CFO in 2002, McGonigle ran one of SEI's operating segments. Previously, he served as head of product management, overseeing the product development and maintenance of products and services related to SEI's investment management offering, as well as SEI's fund services area. He is also co-owner of Kimberton Whole Foods, a regional chain of organic and natural food markets. Dennis and his wife Rachel have three daughters, who all competed at the Division 1 level of college athletics. This led to their interest in supporting the University of Scranton athletics program and the new campus.
McGonigle was a member of the University's Special Jesuit Liberal Arts (SJLA) Honors Program and graduated with a bachelor's degree in accounting. He also competed for the University as a member of the men's golf and ice hockey teams. A member of the University's President's Business Council, he was recognized by the University in 2007 with the Frank J. O'Hara Distinguished Alumni Award and the University's President's Medal at the President's Business Council's Annual Award Dinner in 2017.
