Mo Nuhu ’23 won the 2024 NCAA Division III National Championship with the Amherst College men’s soccer team on Dec. 7. Nuhu scored the first goal in a nail-biting penalty shootout against Connecticut College following a 0-0 tie that went into double overtime. Amherst won in penalty kicks 4-3.
Nohu, a sophomore forward at Amherst, also secured United Soccer Coaches All-American Fourth Team honors in addition to being named First Team All-NESCAC and First Team All-Region. It is his first All-American honor.
As a first-year in 2023, Nuhu was named the NESCAC Co-Rookie of the Year. He was also a USC All-Region selection.
This season, Nuhu finished with 12 goals and eight assists for 32 points, leading the Mammoths in all three categories. Amherst ended the season with a 16-2-4 overall record and the program's second national title—its first since 2015.
At Hotchkiss, Nuhu earned multiple All-State and All-League awards, and he served as a team captain.
Mario Williams ’12, boys varsity soccer coach at Hotchkiss, told The Hotchkiss Record, “Mo left a legacy at Hotchkiss that highlights what is possible when we challenge ourselves to play at the upper limit of our capabilities. He always asked, ‘What more can we do?’”
