Mitchell senior boys soccer player Lewis Pepper has committed to play for Mount Aloysius College in Pennsylvania, it was told to the Tampa Tribune on Thursday afternoon.

Pepper, who is tied with two teammates with a team-high nine goals, has helped lead the Mustangs to a 14-3-3 record and lock up the No. 1 seed in the Class 3A-District 8 tournament that Mitchell hosts beginning Jan. 21.

“Lewis Pepper’s commitment to play soccer for Mount Aloysius College was a decision he knew would shape not only his next four years but would lay the foundation for his next forty years,” an e-mail statement to the Tribune said. “Lewis enjoyed academic and athletic success at J.W. Mitchell High School as a dedicated student-athlete, keeping his grades up and being a one year Varsity starter and important contributor to his team.”

Mount Aloysius is a Catholic four-year Division III university located in Cresson, Pennsylvania, and the Mounties men’s soccer team was 3-14 this past season.
