MACON, Ga. – Sara Engels signed her National Letter of Intent with Mercer women's soccer, becoming the sixth Class of 2021 recruit to sign with the Orange & Black.
Engels will travel nearly 13 hours and more than 800 miles as she makes the trek to Macon from The Woodlands, Texas. A 5-foot-6 midfielder, Engels is a member of the Houston Dash and played high school soccer at The Woodlands College Park High School.
"Our staff is very excited to add Sara to this year's signing class," said head coach Tony Economopoulos. "She comes from a well-respected club in the [Houston] Dash. "She has great vision and is a tactically skilled player who will help strengthen our midfield."
Engels has been a part of the Dash for 10 years. The club is under the direction of Omar Morales and Mark Gibbs and is ranked 24th among U18 clubs according to Top Drawer Soccer. Engels led the Dash to a state championship in 2016 and a top-eight finish in the DA Cup in December 2019. She helped the club to a Desert Classic championship and was the leading scorer on the team in the spring of 2017. That summer, she traveled with the club to compete in matches in Costa Rica.
Engels was a 2016-17 South Texas State Team ODP selection and a Region III ODP Camp selection and was part of the U.S. Market Training Center from 2014-17. At the high school level, she played one year for head coach Meredith Cook and sits first for the most points scored and total assists in the program.
An outstanding student, The Woodlands native is a member of the National Honor Society and the National Honor Society of High School Scholars. She is also an Advanced Placement Ambassador and 'A' Honor Roll member. She plans to major in biology and desires to be a veterinarian. Â
Engels joins an already impressive recruiting class for Economopoulos' which also features Lindsay Bell (Marietta, Ga. / Hillgrove HS), Avery Hallam (Lovettsville, Va. / Woodgrove HS), Chandler Lewis-Jenkins (Suwanee, Ga. / North Gwinnett HS), Keelin Pray (Dunwoody, Ga. / Georgia Virtual School) and Lana Whitfield (Johns Creek, Ga. / Johns Creek HS). With the addition of Engels, the six signees now represent three states – Georgia, Texas and Virginia.
