LUGHANO: SCORING & SOARING AT NORTHEASTERN

Lughano is a trailblazer. Discovered on a dirt pitch as the only female player confident enough to attend an open trial in Mzuzu, Malawi’s most northern city, she’s now Northeastern’s top scorer as a sophomore. ‘Lu’ started in CT at Indian Mountain School, before heading to Brooks School (MA) as Ascent’s first female global scholar. As she settles in with the Huskies, she’s also loving her Environmental Science program.

BILLY: TURNING HEADS IN YEAR ONE AT MIDDLESEX

Billy arrived in the US with a ‘bang’, as Ascent’s 10th global scholar. An accomplished student, athlete and leader, it’s no surprise that he’s already making a major impact at Middlesex School (MA). Along with bringing his self-discipline, initiative, integrity, and grit – he also brought a few goals with him, including this highlight reel strike to open his account with the Zebras.
