Eagle Tribune’s Steve Palladino Receives Dick Lipe Media Award

FOXBORO, MA – Steve Palladino, who regularly covers Merrimack football and basketball for the Lawrence Eagle Tribune, received the prestigious Dick Lipe Media Award at Northeast-10 Media Day on Tuesday at Gillette Stadium. He was selected for the honor by the Northeast-10 Conference Sports Information Directors.

"I am honored to receive this award. I have a lot of respect for Dick Lipe and appreciate having an award with his name on it,” said Palladino. “I have been fortunate to cover many exciting moments in Merrimack basketball and football history and thank the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune, Merrimack College and the Northeast-10 for this opportunity.”

Despite working only part time at the Eagle Tribune since 1997, Palladino is not only a dedicated writer to Merrimack athletics but also a passionate fan. His wife Maureen and three children, Kevin, Kyle and Kaylee, regularly attend Warrior games. Palladino, a 1986 graduate of Merrimack College, is the East Regional Director for Franchise Audit Services for Realogy Corporation.

“I also want to thank Merrimack men's basketball coach Bert Hammel for the opportunity to be associated with his program for 25 years, and the opportunity to develop the program's first ever alumni newsletter. Finally, thanks go out to my family for their patience with this lifelong passion of mine."

The award is presented annually in honor of continued excellence in promoting the athletic and academic endeavors of Northeast-10 student-athletes and their institutions.

Previous winners of the Dick Lipe Media Award include Steven Zerdelian in 2007, Marvin Pave in 2006, Jim Fennell in 2005, Jim Fenton in 2004 and Chris Granozio in 2003.
