Mahamat Khamis: October's Zueike Male Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Mahamat Khamis of Blazers Men's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for October. The rookie striker gave opposition defenders fits all month, and played a big role in the team's MCAC Championship run.
A summer signing for head coach Gode Katembo, Khamis brings a level of speed to the Blazers attack rarely seen across the MCAC, possessing the skill and athleticism to change the way the Blazers can attack, and the way their foes have to defend, opening up space for other players to join in on the action.

Halle Meisner: October's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Halle Meisner of Blazers Women's Volleyball on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for October. The returning MCAC All-Conference selection has started her senior year hot, leading the team in a number of offensive statistical categories.
Meisner is coming off another MCAC All-Conference season in 2024-25 in which the Blazers once again made a Finals run at the MCAC Championships, but came up short of the ultimate goal. Back for a fifth and final season, Meisner seems as determined as ever to lift the trophy once again and help lead her team to another CCAA National Championship after getting a taste of the top college tournament in Canada in the spring of 2024 in Red Deer, Alberta. Now under head coach Craig McKenzie who was feeling out his roster in the pre-season, the Blazers have come charging out of the gate now that the regular season has begun.

Nicholas Pavao: September's Zueike Male Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Nicholas Pavao of Blazers Men's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for September. The rookie midfielder was a standout scorer and distributor during the entire month, and a key contributor to the Blazers' hot 6-1 start.
A major late-summer signing, Pavao is new to the collegiate soccer scene, but not at all to top-level competition in Manitoba and across North America. Pavao was a part of Major League Soccer's FC Dallas Academy, but the Winnipeg native is back in Manitoba in hopes of challenging the best of the CCAA. Pavao has joined an incredible class of incoming recruits and a solid returning core on the Blazers men's soccer squad that is already turning heads across the conference and and country. He joins a number of teammates in the MCAC's top offensive categories through a month of play, and sits tied in second with teammate Romaine Francis for the league lead in goals with six, third in shots, and tied for third in points with teammates Tristen Holfeld and Mahamat Khamis with 12.

Madeline Blackmore: September's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Madeline Blackmore of Blazers Women's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for September. The sophomore started all seven of the Blazers' matches in the month, and leads the team in nearly all offensive statistical categories.
After a tough rookie outdoor campaign in 2024 that saw Blackmore in and out of the lineup due to injury, her star started to rise during the futsal season, when her ability to finish in front of goal truly became evident. Blackmore has parlayed that indoor success into a good start to the 2025 outdoor season, scoring four of the Blazers' six goals in the month, and currently sits sixth in the conference in that category. Perhaps more than anything, Blackmore's ability to score clutch goals has been paramount to the team's succes, lifting the Blazers to two wins over the Cougars in the month, and helping the team secure the season series and take a huge advantage in holding the tie-break in the standings with their Western Manitoba opponents. Both wins were on game-winning goals from Blackmore, and she currently leads the conference in that statistical category.
