Inspired Blazers Push for Playoffs with Critical Away Win Versus Bobcats
CMU faced a tall task on Saturday afternoon as MCAC Women's Soccer kicked off the final weekend of the regular season. Win in Brandon, and the Blazers would create a 4-point buffer between themselves and the 5th place Bobcats. Lose, and have all their playoff hopes hinging on the final match of the MCAC season; a match that is scheduled to take place on Tuesday when the Bobcats and Assiniboine Cougars will play a controversial, point-loaded finale with the winner taking 6-points. The idea behind the 90-minute match that will count as two games was accepted by the conference after the two teams involved suggested the solution to make up for the two previously scheduled games that were postponed due to rainy and snowy field conditions.

Kezia Balzer's goal in the 71st minute gave the Red River Rebels a 1-0 victory over CMU on Saturday afternoon in the MCAC's first-ever regular season women's soccer match played indoor at Winnipeg's Soccer North Facility in Seven Oaks.

Caleb Jutzi enjoyed a successful return to his regular role on right wing, scoring CMU's first and last goals in the Blazers' lopsided 8-0 victory over the Red River Rebels on Saturday afternoon in MCAC men's soccer action played indoor at Winnipeg's Soccer North Facility at Seven Oaks.
For the past four matches, the second-year Blazer has been helping his team by filling a noticeable gap in their starting eleven left vacant when goalkeeper Reed Fitzgerald was forced to the sideline with an injury in Week 3. It took Jutzi only 11 minutes and one touch of the soccer ball to score his second goal of the season, beating Rebel's goalkeeper Yuri Martes and giving CMU a 1-0 lead. Jonathan Monsevula added a second goal moments before the referee blew her halftime whistle, increasing the home team's advantage to 2-0 at the break.
