Zach Bartel: September's Zueike Male Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Zach Bartel of Men's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for September. The second year goalkeeper has seen a lot of action throughout the first month of the MCAC season and has grown immensely as a player since his debut last year.
Through the first six games of the season, Bartel has faced more shots than any other keeper in the league, and has managed to keep his Blazers in the game on several occasions, most notably in two close losses to the St Boniface Rouges, who were at the top of the MCAC standings at the time. An 0-2 loss in their second game of the season was a barn-burner of an affair that remained tied at zeros late into the second half when the St Boniface side was finally able to break the seal and potted two late goals to take full points from the match. The lone true home game of the season so far, the Blazers are looking forward to a stretch of home games in the second half that will hopefully bring about more successful outcomes as the playoff push continues.

Men's Soccer Adds More International Flavour with Wangai Theuri
The CMU Men's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Wangai Theuri for the 2022-23 MCAC season. The Fort Richmond Collegiate graduate and BoniVital Soccer Club product will add some more international spice to the Blazers lineup this season.
Having graduated from Fort Richmond Collegiate in 2020, Theuri will bring a mature game to the Blazers squad, joining new signing Noah Schindel as the second 2020 graduate to be added to the roster this year. Theuri arrived in Canada in 2017 for his grade ten academic year, and although he never suited up for the Centurions owing in part to the pandemic cutting short his opportunity to participate, he found himself a spot in the Winnipeg club soccer scene with BoniVital shortly after his arrival.
