Since the first day he slipped a Northern Timberwolves jersey over his head, Scott DeBianchi has been the unquestioned leader of the UNBC men's soccer team.
Confirmation wasn't needed, but it was provided again on Monday night when he was named the club's most valuable player for the fourth consecutive year.
"I feel very privileged to be awarded MVP four years in a row," said the 24-year-old DeBianchi, who was handed the award during the UNBC athletics banquet, held at the Ramada. "I've been coached under [UNBC coach] Sonny [Pawar] for probably 10 years now and he's made me the player that I am today. That helps out a lot."
DeBianchi, a hometown boy, is primarily a defender but can play with authority anywhere on the pitch. He was the first-ever recruit of the UNBC men's soccer program and the guy Pawar wanted to build around.
