Motta Makes NE-10 All-Championship Team

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Senior Greg Motta (Saunderstown, RI) was named to the Northeast-10 Conference All-Championship men’s soccer team after helping Merrimack to an 11-7-1 record and a postseason berth.

Motta was instrumental in helping the Warriors to the program’s fifth straight top-five finish in the conference, including all four years that he was on campus.

In 75 career games, Motta manned the midfield and scored 13 goals and five assists in the meantime. This season, Motta scored a pair of goals (both of which were game-winners) and tallied four assists.

“There really is no midfielder like him in the league,” said head coach Tony Martone of his senior captain. “He controls the tempo of the game and has such an impact on offense and defense that is hard to match.”

A Second Team All-Conference selection just last week, Motta will graduate from Merrimack in the spring with a degree in Sports Medicine.
