Kirsten Friesen - September's Recovery Spot Female Athlete Of The Month
Congratulations to Kirsten Friesen of Women's Soccer on being selected The Recovery Spot Female Athlete of the Month for September.
The second-year forward was the first Blazers on the scoresheet to open the 2016 MCAC Women's Soccer campaign when she lifted her team to a 1-0 lead over Providence on September 10th. The 2014 graduate of MCI in Gretna, Manitoba then showed her versatility as she moved into midfield adjusted to playing as an outside defender to help her team through some challenging conference opponents.

Congratulations to Aidan Beckingham of Men's Soccer on being selected The Recovery Spot Male Athlete of the Month for September.
In his second season with the green and gold, the talented left back is coming into his own as a big contributor to his team on both ends of the pitch. Beckingham was a major factor in CMU's 2-1 away victory to the defending champion USB Rouges on September 17th, creating the first pass on many of the left-side attacks for CMU and also slotting into centerback in the second half to help lock down the win.

It was just one win, but it was a win that may carry a lot of significance as Women's Basketball prepares for preseason competition on Thanksgiving Weekend in the Alberta Collegiate Athletic Conference and from there, to their first season as members of two conferences.
Winners of eleven out of twelve MCAC regular season games in 2015-16, CMU has never had a dominant record when playing teams outside of their home province to date.

Its been more than a decade since Manitoba's Francophone University, Universite de St-Boniface, stepped on a women's soccer pitch. This Saturday afternoon, the newest MCAC program prepares to kickoff at Memorial Park in St Vital and standing opposite Les Rouges to welcome them to the competition, CMU is hungry for a win.
Results were disheartening for the maturing Blazers in Week 1 of the young season. CMU took the lead on two occasions versus Providence last Saturday, only to see the Pilots bounce back on the counterattack, scoring equalizers only moments after the Blazers had taken a 1-0 and 2-1 lead. Speed and fitness appeared to be big factors for the Pilots in the final 45 minutes of the match, as the home team scored twice to send CMU away empty-handed.

Two goals late in the contest allowed Men's Soccer to steal three points away from the Providence Pilots on Saturday afternoon in Otterburne on MCAC Kickoff Weekend 2016.
After out-chancing the hosts 8-1 in the first half, CMU was unable to convert on even one chance in the opening forty-five minutes. Ryan Jensen zipped a free-kick just over the bar in the 28th minute and Ben Wride missed a glorious opportunity to give the Blazers the lead when he was awarded a penalty kick in the 32nd minute only to be shunned by Pilot's first year goalkeeper Darcy Friesen.
