Ishmael Mintah is a native of Ghana, in his first season with the Charlotte Eagles. Mintah was drafted by the LA Galaxy and played with the Sioux Falls PDL team before joining the Eagles. The Creighton University graduate earned Team of the Week in week 14 for his two goal performance in the Eagles 3-2 win over the Westchester Flames on Saturday night. It was Mintah's second time to earn Team of the Week honors this season. The last time was also with Jacob Coggins back in week one for his assist in the 3-0 win over Pittsburgh.
