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.

Blazers Women's Soccer Earn their First Points of the Campaign over Undefeated Rouges

Canadian Mennonite University played St. Boniface to a 0-0 tie on Wednesday at Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex. St. Boniface entered the match with a perfect two-win record on the season, and CMU recorded the shutout despite an 11-5 shot advantage for Les Rouges, with four saves over 90 minutes.

CMU worked through a first-half stretch in which Les Rouges put together six attacking actions, including three shots and three corner kicks, without conceding. That sequence became an early part of the match's shape, with Les Rouges generating more total chances but CMU limiting the damage on the attempts that reached goal. CMU later created its own attacking spell, putting together three shots and two corner kicks across a four-minute stretch in the second half, including corner-kick chances that led to shot attempts.
