Berlin natives Sobieski, LoBianco finish season with NACC weekly football honors

Lakeland University's Lane Sobieski (Sr.-Berlin, Wis.) and Payton LoBianco (Fr.-Berlin, Wis.) both received Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference honors when the conference released its final weekly awards of the season Tuesday.

Sobieski was named the conference's offensive player of the week, while LoBianco was named the NACC's top special teams player of the week. The two received the honors after the Muskies' season-ending 70-21 win over Rockford University Saturday.

Sobieski and LoBianco both received NACC weekly awards for the first time in their careers. Both also received the honors after tying Lakeland single-game records in the win Saturday.

Sobieski had a Senior Day to remember in his final collegiate game. The quarterback completed 21 of 38 passes for a career-high 356 yards, and also rushed 15 times for a career-best 75 yards. He also threw seven touchdown passes, tying the school record set by Michael Whitley Oct. 7, 2017 against Albion (Mich.) College.

LoBianco had his best day as a Muskie with place kicking duties, making all 10 of his point-after-touchdown kicks. His 10 extra points made tied the school record for PATs made in a game, a mark set by Jim O'Neil Nov. 7, 1987 in a Lakeland 70-18 win over Principia (Ill.) College.

Sobieski finished the season throwing for 855 yards and nine touchdowns and also rushed for 238 yards and a touchdown. He finished his career with 1,159 yards passing and 12 touchdown passes plus 335 rushing yards.

LoBianco finished his freshman season making 28 of 33 extra point tries. He also punted 19 times for a 30.1 yard average, a long punt of 56 yards and two punts downed inside the 20-yard line.

The Muskies finished the season with a 3-7 overall record. Lakeland also finished 3-5 in the NACC to place sixth of nine teams.
