The CMU Women's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Victoria Marucci for the 2024/25 MCAC season. The local Oak Park and St Charles Force product will bring plenty of versatility and enthusiasm to the Blazers' lineup this fall.
Playing with the Raiders at nearby Oak Park High School, Victoria recently closed out the team's WYSA high school girls indoor season, where the team played in the top Premiership division. Oak Park has been a goldmine of top talent for the Blazers in recent years, including of course, Victoria's older sister Juliana, who featured on CMU's 2022*23 women's soccer squad, as well as rookie standout Louisa Ibarra Morton from this year's team.

The CMU Men's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Tristen Holfeld for the 2024/25 MCAC season. The Dakota Collegiate product will bring athleticism and a passion for the game in the centre of the Blazers' lineup this upcoming fall.
The team will look to Holfeld to hold down the middle of the pitch as a central midfielder once the next MCAC season gets underway, especially after reigning All-Conference selection and CCAA All-Canadian Victor Hugo Gomes de Abreu graduates this spring and leaves a hole in the lineup. It will be big shoes to fill for the 5'11" Winnipeg native, but he might just have enough Brazilian in him to do the job, as an honourary member of Team Brazil in the All Nations tournament this past holiday season, which he went on to win alongside coaches Anderson Pereira and Kairus Soares de Lima.

Your Blazers Men's Basketball Team are the 2023-24 MCAC Champions after a dominant performance over the Providence Pilots on Saturday night in St. Boniface. The Championship title is the first for the team since the 2016-17 season, and first under head coach Scott Martin who was voted the 2023-24 MCAC and NIAC Coach of the Year.
It was a familiar matchup in the final, as the past three MCAC championship games since the pandemic-cancelled season have featured the Blazers and the Pilots; however, the result was very different. The 2021-22 final featured the top-ranked Blazers upset by the Pilots on their home court in Niverville, while last year's championships saw a second half Blazers lead slip away in the dying minutes to the top-seeded Pilots, stunning the CMU home crowd. This year's edition was on neutral turf, and with both teams having nearly equal records it was anyone's guess who might come out on top.
