Sophia Weisler,

Sydney Kowalczyk's goals to give her four assists on the season. It marks Weisler's first weekly honor of the season
Vilaboy earns the NJAC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week honor as he totaled two goals and one assist in two matches. In the 2-2 draw at #19 Montclair State, the junior scored Rowan's first goal on a penalty kick to tie the game at 1-1. Then with the Profs trailing, 2-1, tallied the equalizer with 30 seconds remaining in regulation to secure the draw and keep the Profs unbeaten. Vilaboy assisted on the team's second goal in the 3-0 win over Kean on Saturday.Â
Chadwick scored NJAC Women's Volleyball Player of the Week accolades after hitting .348 (43-11-92) in a 3-0, 1-0 NJAC week to help the Profs hit a program record with its 17th straight win. On Tuesday, the senior put down 17 kills (.324/17-5-37 hitting) in the four-set win. In the first match of Saturday's tri-match, she recorded eight kills on 13 swings with zero errors in the sweep over Brooklyn. Soon after, she recorded a match-high 18 kills and added nine digs to help take down Salisbury in four sets.
