Anna Pyne: November's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Anna Pyne of Women's Basketball on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for November. The veteran ponit guard provided some much-needed consistency and scoring for the Blazers as they started their 2022-23 campaign.
The women's basketball roster saw plenty of changes both with new recruits during the summer, as well as some key injuries during training leading up to the first official match, but one of the pillars of the team thus far this season has been Pyne, who is now entering her third season of eligibility with CMU.
