UMBC Forward Abdul Kamara Earns America East Offensive Player of the Week Honors

The junior transfer’s two‑goal burst against Presbyterian fuels the Retrievers’ momentum ahead of a showdown with George Washington

UMBC’s junior forward Abdul Kamara continues to turn heads after a dominant performance that helped the Retrievers dismantle Presbyterian 5‑1 on Tuesday night.

The breakthrough came in the second half, where Kamara first converted a penalty in the 61st minute before striking again just eight minutes later, catching the keeper off guard with a well‑placed finish.

His contributions were rewarded with the America East Offensive Player of the Week honor, marking the second straight week he has earned the conference’s top offensive accolade.

The award underscores a rapid start to his UMBC career, during which he has already tallied three goals in just two appearances, a pace that has quickly made him a focal point of the team’s attack.

Award‑Winning Start

Looking ahead, the Retrievers are slated to host George Washington at 7 p.m., a match that will test whether Kamara’s early‑season momentum can translate into continued success on home turf.
