PITMAN, NJ -- For the second time this spring, Rowan featured eight student-athletes in the weekly New Jersey Athletic Conference awards for the week ending April 9th.

Rylee Lutz picked up the NJAC Softball Pitcher of the Week for the third consecutive week.

Elaina Corson was selected the NJAC Women's Lacrosse Player of the Week for the second week in a row.  

In women's track & field, Emily Galvin was chosen the NJAC Field Athlete of the Week.

The men's track & field team swept all three awards as Joe DeVito (NJAC Track Athlete of the Week) Greg Poloso (NJAC Field Athlete of the Week) and Kwaku Nkrumah (NJAC Rookie of the Week) all were honored.

Baseball also had multiple winners as Dylan Maria scored the NJAC Player of the Week and Zach Grace was named the NJAC Pitcher of the Week.

Lutz went 2-0 in two starts while posting a 0.50 ERA in 14 innings of work. The sophomore struck out 14 with just four walks and had one earned run on 11 hits (.220 opponent BA). She tossed her fourth complete game shutout of the season in Tuesday's game 1 win over Rutgers-Camden, scattering eight hits with six K's and one walk. On Friday, she fanned eight while yielding one run on just three hits.

Corson, a freshman attacker, led the Profs to a 16-8 win over Susquehanna by tying her career-high with five goals, while also picking up a ground ball. The freshman now has 25 goals on the season for Rowan,

Galvin had her second career-best output (55.95 meters) in winning the hammer at the Oscar Moore Invitational here in Glassboro that now puts her at #3 in Division III and #1 in the NJAC this season.

Joe DeVito Ran the top NJAC time in the 400 hurdles (54.29) and #11 in Division III in winning the event at Saturday's home meet, the Oscar Moore Invitational

Poloso threw the top mark in DIII and in the NJAC in the javelin (68.82) on Saturday, his career second-longest mark.

Nkrumah posted two DIII top 30 marks also on Saturday, finishing second in the high jump (1.95) to rank #28 in DIII and sixth in the finals of the 110 hurdles (14.75) to move into #20 in DIII as well.

Maria batted .476 with seven runs, 10 hits, 16 RBI, three home runs and three doubles in Rowan's 5-0 week, which included four NJAC wins. The junior started the week going 2-for-4 with three RBI vs. Gwynedd Mercy and then went 4-for-5 with four runs and eight RBI in a 17-2 win over NJCU as he hit his first career grand slam and had a solo homer. Maria was 3-for-8 in the sweep of #21 Montclair State, driving in a total of five runs in the two games as he was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the 6-0 first-game win over MSU and followed that with a two-run home run in the 14-1 second-game win. Maria tops the Profs with eight home runs on the season.

Grace pitched a gem as he tossed the first complete game of the season for the #19 Profs as they shut out #21 Montclair State, 6-0, in the first game of a doubleheader sweep. The junior lefthander had a career-high 12 strikeouts and allowed just four hits, no walks and no runs as he improved to 4-0 on the year.

On Tuesday, #15 Softball (23-3, 6-0 NJAC) welcomes TCNJ to campus on Tuesday while the women's lacrosse team (8-3) heads into Tuesday's NJAC opener at fourth-ranked TCNJ.
