Colby Rossettie

Prep Nationals Semifinal Standout

There are so many offensive weapons that can shine on any given day. So much so that a player of Rossettie’s caliber can sometimes get a short-stick matchup. That’s not recommended if you’re playing the Big Red, and the California native showed why. He punished Deerfield to the tune of four first-half goals. He ripped home a high-to-high blast off of an English feed, then tallied his second on an up-the-hash bouncer.

It was Rossettie who helped crack the game open before halftime, pocketing back-to-back goals in transition. First, he buried a Jake Sturtevant (Michigan) one-more feed after Ted Rawson (Syracuse) had an impressive ground ball on the ride back. Alex Swinnie (Express North / Johns Hopkins) won the ensuing faceoff and snapped a gorgeous feed to the back pipe to a cutting Rossettie, who did the rest.
