McParland (Brockville, Ontario) finished a bachelor's in medical biology in 2015. He was the starting goalkeeper for the men's soccer team from 2011-14, appearing in 62 of the squad's 68 contests. His career totals top the known program records: an .849 save percentage (and 426 saves), a 1.23 goals against average, 24 victories, and 15 shutouts. In addition to seven ties, he factored in 17 one-goal setbacks during his four years, with an offense that averaged 1.2 goals per outing. McParland saved his best for the senior campaign, as he backstopped the Nor'easters to a 9-7-2 mark with an .878 save percentage, 0.91 goals against, and six shutouts. He was named the 2014 CCC Defensive Player of the Year that season (UNE's only such award, to-date), landed his third all-conference first team nod (2012, 2013, 2014), and received second team All-New England status for a second time (2013, 2014). Also in 2014, McParland was UNE's first student-athlete honored as a College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America® First Team selection. The first goalie of any sport into the Hall of Fame was also a Student Trustee for the University.
