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.

Khamis built the season's success off an impressive rookie campaign in 2025, and was looking for more this year as the program's speedy striker. He finished the regular season second in the conference in goals (9), second in points, as well as top five in both assists and shots, helping lift the team to one of its most prolific scoring campaigns ever.

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.
