Mahmud played a crucial role in Saint Francis U’s conference win at Wagner on Saturday. The first-year midfielder found the back of the net with 3:05 left to play in the fourth quarter, and that marker proved to be the difference as it gave the Red Flash a key two-goal advantage. After the Seahawks pulled within one less than one minute later, Mahmud corralled the ensuing draw control to allow Saint Francis U to run out the clock and secure the thrilling 8-7 victory. Defeating Wagner for the third time in program history, the Red Flash improved to 2-1 against conference competitors, which ties the 2010 and 2021 teams for their best start in NEC play.
