UNBC’s only 5-time All-Star named to Wall of Honour

“Even as a young player, Scott’s technical skill and tactical understanding of the game was well beyond his years. He was a shy high school graduate who wasn’t even sure if he would attend university, but he immediately set a standard that reached far beyond the soccer pitch.”

His freshman year, Debianchi earned UNBC Most Valuable Player honours and was named a BCCAA Second Team All-Star, making him the first Timberwolf soccer player to earn the distinction.

2008-2009 was much of the same for the Prince George Secondary School graduate, who seemingly raised his game every time on the pitch. At the conclusion of the campaign, he was again named TWolves MVP and earned BCCAA Second Team All-Star honours.

Year three was more history for Debianchi. Yet again, he was named Timberwolves MVP. In the BCCAA year-end awards, he became the first UNBC soccer player to ever be named a First Team All-Star.

Debianchi and the TWolves advanced all the way to the BCCAA Provincial final in his fourth year on campus, earning a silver medal; the only soccer medal in UNBC history. Unsurprisingly, Debianchi was named team MVP and garnered his second consecutive BCCAA First Team All-Star distinction.

In 2011-2012, the BCCAA rebranded to become the Pacific Western Athletic Association, but Debianchi’s impact remained incredible. His fifth and final season was celebrated with a fifth TWolves Most Valuable Player award, as well as his third consecutive league First Team All-Star nod.

By the time he graduated, Debianchi played 62 games for the Timberwolves, 14 games more than anyone else in UNBC’s collegiate history. His nine goals are good for second on the all-time list while sitting tops for any defender to ever wear green and gold. He is the only UNBC student-athlete to be named a league all-star five times.
