The Villanova midfielder still managed to tally 25 points and help the Wildcats to a 9-5 record. He was in the starting lineup as a sophomore after spending his freshman year coming off the bench and learning how things were done at the college level.
"It's much more intense in college," Rosato said. "The players are much better, too."
Rosato scored 3 goals in a 17-7 win over St. John's last month.
He also scored a goal in a 10-9 overtime win over Adelphi.
Still, Rosato believes there is room for improvement.
The former high school all-American hopes to score more on the field and in the classroom next year.
"I know I can do better," he said.
"I just had a lot of other things on my mind this year.
"I had to spend a lot of time in the lab."
