He was third-team All-American in 2000 when he led the Owls to the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) championship and a first-round victory in the NCAA Division III national tournament.
 
The Wilbraham native was All-New England first team in 2000 and All-New England third team in 1997 when the Owls won the MASCAC championship, advanced to the ECAC Tournament championship game, and finished with a 13-4-1 overall record.
 
The three-time first-team all-conference forward and two-time captain ranks 10th on Westfield’s all-time scoring list with 111 points. He scored 42 career goals, including 13 game-winning goals.
 
Labadorf tallied the only goal in Westfield’s 1-0 victory over Worcester State in the 2000 MASCAC Tournament championship game. He scored a season-high 39 points (15 goals, 9 assists) in 2000, including the game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory at Roger Williams University in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
 
Westfield finished his senior season with a 15-5 record. The Owls posted four straight winning seasons and an aggregate record of 46-24-2 from 1997-2000.
 
Labadorf played for the Massachusetts Twisters semi-professional indoor soccer team in 2002 and was an assistant coach at Westfield State for three years following his graduation.
