National Signing Day NATIONAL SIGNING DAY in early February is a milestone day in the world of college sports— and St. George’s was proud to have three talented sixth-form athletes recruited to Division 1 schools who helped us celebrate. On Feb. 4, Sarah Boule signed a Letter of Intent to play soccer at Elon University in the fall; fellow soccer standout Conor Ingari will be playing at Boston University; and Jonathan Lumley, whose prowess on the gridiron caught the attention of recruiters, will play football for the Fordham University Rams. All three have won high praise from their SG coaches. Varsity girls’ soccer coach Ray Woishek ’89 called Boule, who earned ISL all-league awards in 2013 and 2014, “an intense competitor.” “She was always the strongest, toughest player on the field while playing with great sportsmanship. Her ability to control the center of the field was very important to the team,” Woishek added. As a freshman at Elon, Woishek said Boule’s challenge will be “to make a positive impression with her strong defensive play.”
Ingari, the varsity boys’ soccer team’s high scorer, was a central midfielder for the Dragons who often controlled the flow of the game for the team, according to coach Ed McGinnis. “He was an excellent shot, distributing the ball accurately and always winning tackles,” he said. At St. George’s Ingari played midfield in order to get as many touches on the ball as he could, but at BU, McGinnis predicts, Ingari “could become a more offensive player.” Athletic Director and Varsity football coach John Mackay called Lumley “one of the most athletic players” he has ever coached. “His skills—running, jumping—combined with his instincts and great hands will make him a tremendous asset for Fordham’s offense.” Mackay said the fact that Lumley, who suffered a broken wrist last fall, was able to secure a Division I scholarship without being able to play for most of his senior year “is a testament to his ability.” “He’s been a pleasure to coach and I know he’ll be successful at the next level,” Mackay said. “He’s got both the skills and confidence needed to achieve.”
Designed by award-winning Finalsite, it’s smart and beautiful—just like St. George’s.
