Professional

Zobeck signed with NASL club New York Cosmos on March 26, 2014.[5]

On August 23, 2014, against Minnesota United FC, Zobeck made his professional debut coming in as a substitute in the seventh minute of the match.[6] Zobeck allowed a goal on a penalty kick before shutting out league-leading Minnesota United FC the rest of the way.

Zobeck finished the 2014 season with a 1-2-1 (W-D-L) record while making 10 saves and posting a 1.53 goals against average (GAA) while serving as a trusty back-up to goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer who earned NASL Best XI honors for his season's performance.
