North Cross students Jordan Lowery ‘16 and Sarah Maurer ’16 have signed National Letters of Intent at a joint signing ceremony in the Carter Athletic Center. Family, friends, teachers, and coaches came out to support the two athletes and congratulate them on their commitments.

 Lowery will join the football program at The College of William & Mary next year as a wide receiver. He played football at North Cross for four years, and during that time Lowery was consistently selected for ODFC All-Conference and VISAA All-State teams. He earned the North Cross football team’s 2015 MVP award, and he ended this past season with several school records on the books. These records include receptions (177), receiving yardage (3,093) and touchdown catches (39).

Maurer will compete on the women’s soccer team at the University of Virginia in the fall.  As a Raider, she was a versatile soccer player. Maurer started out in the goal and was one of the top goalkeepers in the state, but when her team needed an impact player on offense, she stepped up to the task and contributed 49 goals and 18 assists to her team’s record. Her 32 goals last season make-up one of the highest scoring records for the team. Maurer, too, has played on a number of All-Conference and All-State teams, was the 2015 team MVP, and earned a spot on the All-Timesland team after her junior season.

Head Football Coach Stephen Alexander and Head Girls’ Varsity Soccer Coach James Brown both spoke of how proud they were of these athletes’ accomplishment.

“Jordan has maximized his many talents with an intense work ethic and focus,” said Coach Alexander. “He is an accomplished student-athlete who is deserving of all the accolades he has received. The same work ethic that made him successful here at North Cross, will shape his future at William & Mary and beyond.”

“Whether Sarah is on the field or in the goal she is not easily rattled and is able to take the pressure off of those who play around her,” said Coach Brown. “She is a tremendous athlete, who is technically sound with a high soccer IQ. Her willingness to do whatever is asked of her and her ability to execute under pressure truly makes her a remarkable player. Sarah has dedicated herself to the game of soccer, and I am so happy to see all of her hard work pay off.”

William & Mary Receivers Coach Winston October released the following statement regarding Lowery’s commitment:  “Jordan has a good mix of size and speed. His athleticism will be a great addition to our Wide Receiver corp.”
