Men’s Soccer Receives Fall 2009 Northeast-10 Sportsmanship Award

SOUTH EASTON, MA – The Northeast-10 Conference announced Merrimack College as the recipient of the fourth annual Fall 2009 Sportsmanship Award in men’s soccer. The awards program honors one team from each of the conference’s 23 championship sports that has exemplified the spirit of sportsmanship and generally conducted themselves with a higher degree of integrity, character and class.

The Warriors of Merrimack finished the 2009 season under head coach Tony Martone with their fifth straight 10-win season and sixth straight top-five finish with an 11-7-1 mark. Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year, Robbie Sabadoz (Ottawa, ON), finished the season with a program-record 19 goals to tie Rich Fleming, who set the single-season mark in 1996.

The Northeast-10 awards one team from its 23 championship sports with a ‘Team Sportsmanship Award’ at the end of each season’s championship segment. The awards are decided upon by a vote of each of the conference teams head coach, team captain and Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) representative in their respective sports.

Being honored for the first time was both the Merrimack College men’s soccer team and the University of Massachusetts Lowell women’s soccer team.

In June, one of the 16 conference institutions will receive the ‘David R. Brunk’ Award honoring institution sportsmanship. Last year, Assumption College was selected as the award recipient. Previous winners include Stonehill (2008) and Saint Anselm (2007).

With 16 member institutions the Northeast-10 shares the distinction of being the largest Division II conference in the country along with the PSAC and WVIAC. Its 23 championship sports provide athletic opportunities for over 5,500 student-athletes, the largest such program of any Division II conference.
