Alderson Broaddus University, located in Philippi, West Virginia, is a member of the United States National Collegiate Athletic Association and will officially receive Del Rosario\u2019s Letter of Intent today, on National Signing Day.<\/p>\n

The Mount Carmel School senior student said he is both relieved and humbled to have signed the letter of intent. \u201cAfter nine years of playing hard until I graduate, it is a great feeling,\u201d he told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n

Del Rosario has been a part of many local and national soccer tournaments and was recently licensed as a soccer coach and is currently training MP United\u2019s U15 girls soccer team.<\/p>\n

Del Rosario started playing soccer when he was just 8 years old. In a previous interview with this reporter, the athlete said, \u201cSoccer has been good to me over the years and I\u2019m capitalizing on that opportunity to get a good education.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI chose this school because the football program is amazing. I had a great conversation with the coach and it\u2019s very exciting. From the fields, players, and staff, it\u2019s all great.\u201d<\/p>\n

He plans to pursue a degree in sports science while playing U.S. NCAA soccer.<\/p>\n

His father, Norman Del Rosario, said he is proud of his son\u2019s accomplishment. \u201cHe worked so hard for it. It is proof that if you have a dream you have to go for it no matter how hard it is, because are the end of the day it is possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
