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.
