Olympiens Prepare To Reunite As Derco-Todd Commits To CMU
Lauren Derco-Todd recently confirmed her plans to join the CMU Blazers in 2020 as the 5'6 guard signed her letter of intent for the Manitoba Colleges and Northern Intercollegiate Atheltic Conference seasons. Derco-Todd was a teammate of Reyna Reyes and Anna Pyne while at south-Winnipeg's College Jeanne-Sauvé for her Grade 11 season. Together the three led the Olympiens to a third-place finish in the ultra-competitive SCAC division in 2019. While Reyes and Pyne were helping CMU to 2020 MCAC and NIAC banners, Derco-Todd was leading Jeanne-Sauvé to a even better 2020 with the Olympiens who finished second in the SCAC only to have their provincial hopes dashed by Covid-19.

After a year away from competitive basketball, former River East Kodiak Matt Brenton recently made his commitment to return to the court for the 2020-21 season with the CMU Blazers.
Standing at a true 6'5, Brenton will fill a key void for the Blazers, who fielded a rather undersized roster in 2019-20. On top of that, the newest signee is a strong rim-protector and rebounder who has the ability to run the floor and finish. "Matt is a long, athletic player who is just starting to bloom," said CMU head coach Scott Martin, who has been working at getting Brenton to the Blazers since last summer. "He has all the tools to be a great player and the potential to be a key contributor for us."
