West Windsor, N.J. -- Soccer player Mohamed Conteh, a defensive midfielder who completed his sophomore season on the men's soccer team at Mercer County Community College this past fall, has signed a national letter of intent to play for Division II Wilmington University (DE) next year.

Following the fall season, in which Mercer won the Region 19 title and advanced to the District Tournament final, Conteh was named to the All-Region and All-GSAC first teams and was named no. 5 on the list of the region's top players. He also earned second team All-American honors from the National Soccer Coaches of America Association.

A graduate of West Windsor North High School, Conteh's high school team earned a 19-2 record in his senior year and advanced to the semi-finals of the state tournament.

A Liberal Arts major, Conteh says Mercer has worked out well for him. "I got a lot of playing time and also got the academic foundation I needed." He plans to major in sports management at Wilmington.
