(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 14, 2022 \u2014 UC San Diego men’s soccer defender Noah Sonenstein will represent Team USA at the 21st Maccabiah Games beginning July 14 in Israel.<\/p>\n
The Maccabiah Games are held every four years and attract 60+ countries and over 10,000 Jewish athletes from around the world. The United States is sending a contingent of over 1,100 athletes to the two-week event.<\/p>\n
Tryouts were held in both Los Angeles and New York earlier this year. Sonenstein was among 21 athletes chosen for the men’s open team.<\/p>\n
An El Dorado Hills, Calif. native, Sonenstein joined the Tritons in 2018, starting 38 matches in three seasons with UC San Diego. He was a CCAA All-Academic selection as a sophomore in 2019 and was named to the All-Triton Scholar-Athlete Team for the 2020 season\u2014which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Sonenstein started all 15 matches in which he played during the 2021 season\u2014UC San Diego’s first at the Division I level\u2014finishing third on the team in minutes played (1,312). Sonenstein will return for a fifth year with the Tritons for the 2022 season, which begins Aug. 25 at Pacific.<\/p>\n
Sonenstein joins former Triton men’s soccer alums Alec Arsht, Adam Zernick and Will Pleskow as UC San Diego scholar-athletes to represent Team USA at the Maccabiah Games. Arsht Zernick and Pleskow were members of the men’s soccer team that won gold at the 2013 games.<\/p>\n
“It was a once in a lifetime experience to get to represent my country and religion while doing something that I love,” said Arsht. “As a result of training and playing competitively throughout the summer, I was also able to come into preseason more fit than ever with an awesome experience (and gold medal) under my belt. I still keep in touch with guys that I played with from all over the country and hope that Noah has the same experience and success that we had.”<\/p>\n
The opening ceremonies for the 21st Maccabiah will take place on July 14 at Jerusalem’s Teddy Stadium.<\/p>\n
