Congratulations to Daniel McIntyre-Ridd of Men's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for October. The sixth-year captain of the Blazers was instrumental on the back end during CMU's Cinderella story run during the MCAC Soccer Championships this past weekend.
Since he joined the Blazers for his first season back in 2016, McIntyre-Ridd has been a stalwart of the CMU defence, challenging the opposition's top strikers game in and game out. McIntyre-Ridd had himself another great season this year, captaining the team from the back line, an was particularly on point with his game during the month of October. Early in the month he was pivotal in the Blazers full-time 0-0 draw with the top team in the standings, Providence Pilots, which was an omen of good things to come for CMU when the two sides matched up again weeks later in the MCAC Soccer Championships semi-finals. McIntyre-Ridd added a goal in his final home match at the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex during a 12-1 blowout of the Assiniboine Community College Cougars.
