New York, New York – After leading the Panthers to a perfect 2-0 record last week, including a thrilling 3-2 come-from-behind victory last Sunday against Kingsborough Community College in the 2023 CUNYAC Community College Men's Soccer Championship, for back-to-back conference titles since 2016 and 2017, sophomore Abdul Mumin Seidu (Bronx, New York) was rewarded with NJCAA Division III Goalie of the Week accolades. The honor is the second of Mumin Seidu's career after receiving the honor in 2022.
 
Mumin Seidu has helped the Panthers men's soccer team with a monstrous October turnaround, posting a perfect 5-0 record overall with three huge victories in net with solid efforts in a 4-2 road victory at Orange Community College and two wins on the road against Kingsborough Community College, 3-1, and again against the Wave in the 2023 CUNYAC Community College Men's Soccer Title Game.  
 
The Bronx, New York native made 17 saves combined in their two contests with Kingsborough Community College. The 2022 CUNYAC All-Star stopped six shots in BMCC's comeback win last Thursday against the Wave and a season-high 11 saves in the Conference Championship game three days later, with eight of them coming in the second half to help the Panthers erase a 1-0 halftime deficit and win their second straight league title, 3-2. Mumin Seidu's efforts got him the Championship's Most Valuable Player, and he notched a career-best seventh victory. His victory total is the most in four seasons for a netminder, and one away from the eight Dhondup Tharchen registered during the 2017 season.

Mumin Seidu also ranks 24th in NJCAA with a 1.53 GAA and 31st with a .758 Save Percentage.
 
The Panthers will hope three times is a charm as they will face another grueling test against the Wave in the 2023 Region XV Quarterfinals on Thursday, October 19, at 1 p.m. at Pier 40. BMCC is the fourth seed, and Kingsborough Community College is the fifth seed. For more information, visit the BMCC Men's Soccer Schedule.
