Hartford, CT - Mamadou Dieng has etched his name into Hartford Athletic history by becoming the club's All-Time Leading Goal Scorer across all competitions.

Dieng has also been nominated for USL Championship Player of the Month, recognizing his exceptional play through July. During that period, Dieng delivered a standout month, recording three goals and one assist across all competitions, averaging a goal every 116.3 minutes in USL Championship play and a 33.3% shot conversion rate while posting a league-leading +2.34 goals added mark per American Soccer Analysis.

When asked about the accomplishment, Dieng said "As a forward, my job is to score goals. Every night, I do my best to put the ball in the back of the net and help my team win. I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to play for this club, and I am excited to keep scoring and help get us back to the playoffs."
