Victor Hugo Gomes de Abreu: September's Zueike Male Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Victor Hugo Gomes de Abreu of Blazers Men's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Male Athlete of the Month for September. The veteran attacking midfielder continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the centre of the pitch with his technical skill and vision.
After a slow start to the season, Abreu has tallied goals the past four games in which he's featured, and currently sits third in the MCAC in both goals and points. A master of the set piece, the team's captain has scored multiple times off stoppages in play, and factors heavily in controlling the middle of the pitch with an ability to create his own shot that makes him a dangerous offensive weapon as well as a playmaking threat.

Louisa Morton: September's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Louisa Morton of Blazers Women's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for September. The rookie defender has demonstrated a maturity and consistency to her game not normally seen in first year student-athletes.
Morton's play in the first half of the season thus far has been instrumental in putting the Blazers in the playoff picture, with her ability to shut down the opposition's top talents, and helping transition the counter-attack by setting up her strikers downfield. Originally signed for the 2022/23 season, Morton ended up deferring her start for a year and rejoined the team this summer ready to get back into competitive collegiate soccer. She has started all six of the Blazers' games so far this season, and has used her talent and athleticism to control the middle of the pitch.

Legend of the Loewen DiCurzio Stepping Back into Mentorship Role
After an incredible ten seasons at the helm of the Blazers Women's Basketball program, head coach Joe DiCurzio has made the difficult decision to take a step back from head coaching into a coaching mentorship position with the team for the 2023/24 season.
DiCurzio came to the Blazers in 2013 and re-built the program into the massive success story it is today. Prior to his arrival, the program's only conference title wins were back-to-back in the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons in what was the Central Plains Athletic Conference, which later became the Manitoba Colleges Athletic Conference where the team competes today. With their 2022/23 MCAC Championship win at home this past February, Blazers Women's Basketball completed five consecutive title wins, taking home the banner in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 with the 2021 season cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team also won the Northern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship in 2020, and featured in the NIAC Championship final this past spring in their first year back after the lifted travel restrictions allowed them to once again challenge their cross-border rivals from the Northern states.
