Sabadoz Earns Fourth NE-10 POW


NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Despite an early exit from the Northeast-10 Conference championship tournament, sophomore Robbie Sabadoz (Ottawa, ON) of the Merrimack men’s soccer team was named Conference Player of the Week for a fourth time this fall.

In a season finale and fourth consecutive win for the Warriors, Sabadoz scored both goals in a 2-0 win over the UMass-Lowell River Hawks on Wednesday.

His second goal in the 88th minute from sophomore Evan Burokas (Auburn, MA) matched the program record for single-season goals (19) set by Rich Fleming in 1996.

Later in the week, the No. 4 Warriors took on the No. 5 Southern Connecticut State University Owls and fell 2-1 on the road to end their hopes of a Conference championship. Despite the loss, head coach Tony Martone completed his fifth straight season with 10 or more wins and a playoff berth.
