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.
