Julia Schatkowsky: November's Lionheart Sports Female Athlete Of The Month
Congratulations to Julia Schatkowsky of Women's Basketball on being selected the CMU Lionheart Sports Female Athlete of the Month for November. The sophomore forward has been a big factor in the Blazers 6-0 start to the 2018-19 Northern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Regular Season.
The 6'1 product of Winnipeg's Vincent Massey Collegiate has proven herself to be a match-up challenge for all of CMU's opponents this month, averaging 21.2 points per game in her team's six wins. Schatkowsky's biggest offensive weekend came on November 23rd and 24th when she dropped 25 on the Red River Rebels in a 60-22 win and followed that with 28 against the Turtle Mountain Mighty Mikinocks the very next day in Belcourt, North Dakota in CMU's 87-63 win.

Women's Basketball re-enters conference play this weekend determined to keep up the high level of play that has the 2018 NIAC Finalists out to a 2-0 start. Last weekend in non-conference action, the Blazers faced two big challengers from tough Mon-Dak opponents at the Devil's Lake Classic; losses of a combined 69-points to NDSCS Wildcats and Lake Region State Royals, but those losses didn't do anything to defeat CMU.

It is certainly a surprise to see them at the top, but the perrenial basement dwellers of MCAC Men's Volleyball have clawed their way up the 2018-19 standings to become top dogs (or cats), for at least for the time being. Head coach Joel Small has been chipping away at improving his squad's technical abilities and now through great recruiting in the past offseason, the ACC Cougars sit in first place after two weekends of action with a conference-leading record that includes 3 wins.

"Hungry" might be the best word to describe the CMU Blazers Men's Basketball team as they embark on their first regular season road trip of the NIAC season. A 2018-19 preseason that ended without a win and a largely new roster of players, this will be a season where the Blazers will be underdogs and they know it.
Removed two seasons from their famous MCAC Championship win, no member of the current squad was there in 2017 to taste provincial glory with head coach Billy Isaac and his long time assistant, Dan Neufeld. Seth McKenzie, Riley Ens, Erik Sinclair and Nathan Rogalsky, who redshirted last season, make up the full cast of returning players and there is a lot riding on their young shoulders as second-year leaders on the team.

After losing the first two sets of the 2018-19 MCAC Regular Season, Women's Volleyball showed their resilience in front of a boisterous home crowd by winning the third and fourth and then came back from an 8-10 deficit in the fifth to defeat USB 15-12, winning the match 3-2.
Fourth-year power, Haley Ginter pumped 13 kills for CMU while rookie middle Mackenzy Groot scored 7, leading her team with a 54.5% kill efficiency.
