14 in the tournament title
game.
With the victory, Hofstra
earned an automatic berth
in the NCAA tournament.
Elon last played in the
NCAA tournament in 2015,
when it made the field as
an at-large selection.
Elon’s 2021 season record
is a bit misleading because
the Phoenix played a tough
non-conference schedule
that included road games at
nationally ranked Duke and
West Virginia.
Rosenblatt has been able
to balance the demands of
being a Division I soccer
player with being a full-
time college student. He has
a 3.69 grade-point average.
“Busy. Challenging. Time
management is crucial
because there isn’t a lot of
time available. If you don’t
manage your time, you’re
not going to do well,” he
said about athletics and
academics at Elon.
Rosenblatt recently
declared an academic
major: sports management.
He’s had plans for several
years to go to law school.
That hasn’t changed.
“I want to play soccer
after college,” he said. “If
that doesn’t happen, I’m
hoping a sports manage-
ment background will help
keep me involved in the
game.”
Two years into his time
at Elon, Rosenblatt said
his decision to attend the
school was a good one.
“One-hundred percent,”
he said. “My teammates and
coaches are great. And the
weather there is better than
Michigan. It’s been a per-
fect fit.”
Rosenblatt played just
one season of soccer at
Berkley, when he was a
sophomore, opting to play
only with the Vardar Soccer
Club the rest of his high
school days.
He was an honorable
mention All-State choice as
a sophomore after scoring
seven goals and dishing out
16 assists.
Besides being named one
of four Jewish News High
School Athletes of the Year
in 2020, he was one of five
recipients of a Dr. Steve
and Evelyn Rosen Stars of
Tomorrow Scholarship.
Athletes of the Year and
Stars of Tomorrow schol-
arship winners are chosen
annually by committees in
a selection process overseen
by the Michigan Jewish
Sports Foundation.
Stars of Tomorrow schol-
arships are awarded to
help Jewish college athletes
focus on their sports and
academics and not as much
on their finances.
