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 reigning MCAC Rookie of the Year has parlayed his success last year into his sophomore season, and has continued an electric scoring pace to start the season.

The 2025 MCAC All-Conference selection has been moved higher in the Blazers' formation this season with a number of impact midfielders coming into the fold, which has led to even more goals coming off the boot of the technically-gifted footballer. Through eight games in the 12-game schedule, Pavao has been scoring at a torrid pace, netting 11 goals, and leading in almost every offensive statistical category in the conference, including goals, assists, points, shots, and game-winning goals. Pavao has been in good company, co-leading the CCAA's men's soccer scoring race throughout September.
