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.
