PITMAN, NJ -- Rowan had student-athletes in football, men's soccer, and men's swimming earn weekly honors from the New Jersey Athletic Conference. Here is a rundown.

James Fara was named the NJAC Football Offensive Player of the Week. In men's soccer, Davide Caputo was selected the NJAC Offensive Player of the Week, Dylan Aportela picked up the NJAC Defensive Player of the Week and Johnny Troiano scored NJAC Rookie of the Week. Henry Lynch was awarded the NJAC Rookie Swimmer of the Week as well.

Fara ran for 124 yards on just 19 carries with a touchdown to help Rowan to a 27-7 in vs. Montclair on Saturday. He also added a season-high 50-yard run in the first quarter. This season, Fara leads the team with 797 yards on the ground with five touchdowns in nine games. He also has nine receptions for 177 yards and two scores.

Caputo, a freshman, scored the first hat trick of his career to lift third-seeded Rowan to a 3-0 win at top-seeded Montclair State in the NJAC Championship game on Friday night. It marked the first multiple-goal game of his career.

Aportela, a sophomore, allowed only one goal in the two games of the NJAC Tournament. He made five saves as Rowan tied Ramapo in the semifinals, and advanced on penalty kicks, as he only allowed one goal in his first shootout. Aportela then posted a shutout in the NJAC Final against Montclair St., making five saves, as he has recorded six shutouts in the past seven matches.

Troiano had a goal and assist in two games of the postseason last week. The freshman scored the first goal of the game in the semifinal at Ramapo, in which the Profs eventually advanced on penalty kicks. He then set up Caputo's second goal in the 3-0 win over Montclair State in the final.

Lynch had a nice showing as the Profs picked up its first win of the season last Saturday, in a 159-103 NJAC victory over Montclair State. The freshman was second in the 100 butterfly (53.75) and third in the 50 free (22.70). He also competed in the 400 free relay as the leadoff, where the foursome was third (3:27.07).

The football team (6-3, 4-2 NJAC) has its season finale this Friday at home against the University of New England in a 7 p.m. kickoff.

The NJAC champion men's soccer team, which won its first conference title since 2003, head to the NCAA Division III Tournament and will face Middlebury this Saturday, November 12 at 3:30 p.m. in the game played at Stevens.

The men's swimming (1-1, 1-0 NJAC) continues its season this Friday, November 11th with a meet at Stevens.

This week, a total of 14 Rowan student-athletes were honored over six sports, an unprecedented first in conference history for most in one week.
