Wiedeman has been named NJAC Offensive Player of the Week after totaling six points on a goal and four assists as No. 4 Rowan went 2-0 in the first week of NJAC play to remain unbeaten on the season. The senior had a hand in both Rowan goals in a crucial 2-1 win over No. 12 TCNJ in the conference opener, scoring once and setting up the game-winner.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
RAVEN DAVIES • Rowan University
Graduate Student • Defender • Raleigh, NC / Enloe
 
Davies becomes the third different Prof this year to earn NJAC Defensive Player of the Week honors after anchoring a No. 4 Rowan back line that allowed just six total shots – only two on goal – in a 2-0 NJAC week. The graduate transfer played all 90 minutes in a 2-1 win over No. 12 TCNJ, as the Profs held the Lions to six shots, two of them on target. She followed by helping Rowan keep William Paterson from attempting a single shot in a 5-0 road win. Davies also recorded her first point as a Prof, assisting on a first-half goal against the Pioneers. She was on the field for all but 11 minutes of the week.
 
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
BROOKE GINSBERG • Kean University
Freshman • Goalkeeper • Newton, NJ / Kittatinny Regional
 
Ginsberg earns NJAC Rookie of the Week after a huge game in the conference opener, as the rookie keeper came up with two penalty kick stops in a 1-0 blanking of Ramapo. She finished that game with eight saves for her first NJAC shutout and second of her young career. She added five saves against No. 12 TCNJ, finishing the week with 13 saves in two NJAC starts. Ginsberg leads all NJAC keepers in conference-only saves per game through the first week of NJAC action, stopping 6.50 per game.
