PITMAN, NJ - Rowan's Zack Burlingame (football), Sydney Kowalczyk (field hockey), DJ Mosley (men's soccer) and MaKala Baker (women's soccer) have earned weekly honors from the New Jersey Athletic Conference in their respective sports.
 
Burlingame, a freshman punter, was named the NJAC Special Teams Player of the Week. He averaged 43.8 yards on six punts, including a long of 54 yards and one inside the 20 as the Profs took down #12 Salisbury, 26-20. Only two of his six punts were returned in the game and on the season, he is averaging 38.3 yards per kick.
 
Kowalczyk was chosen as the NJAC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time in 2026, totaling three goals as the #15 Profs increased their winning streak to 10 games. The sophomore tallied the gamewinner, her third of the year, to lead Rowan to a 1-0 win at Stockton. She followed that with two goals in the 7-0 win over William Paterson, for her third multiple-goal game this season. Kowalczyk tops Rowan in scoring with 12 goals and six assists.
 
Mosley picked up NJAC Rookie of the Week honors by contributing two goals and an assist in #4 Rowan's two wins. In the 1-0 win over Ramapo, the freshman assisted on Evan Vilaboy's goal. He then tallied both Rowan goals in the 2-1 win at New Paltz, marking the first multiple-goal game of his career and his first-ever game-winning goal.
 
Baker earned the NJAC Defensive Player of the Week award for the second time this season, helping #4 Rowan remain undefeated (9-0). The junior played a key role for Rowan's defense which posted two shutouts last week while allowing a total of eight shots (two on goal). In the 2-0 win at Ramapo, the Profs limited the Roadrunners to just one shot.
 
The honorees' nationally-ranked teams are all in action this week. With its win at Salisbury, the football team (4-1, 2-0 NJAC) is now ranked #24 in the latest D3football.com poll and will host Kean this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Coach Richard Wackar Stadium. The #15 field hockey team (10-3; 3-0) heads to Widener (10/14) and Montclair State (10/17) this week.
