KANSAS CITY, MO – Rowan’s Johnny Troiano and Ryan Cleary head the group of five Profs who have been named to the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III All-Region IV Men’s Soccer Team, as the duo received first-team honors. Davide Caputo and Evan Schlotterbeck were chosen to the Second Team with Greg Ferreira being selected to the Third Team. 

Troiano and Cleary are now nominees for the All-America Team, which will be announced on December 4. 

Troiano (Hazlet, NJ), the two-time NJAC Offensive Player of the Year, earns All-Region First Team honors for the third consecutive season. He was the NJAC’s leading scorer with 19 goals and 43 points while also claiming a spot on the All-Conference First Team for the third time. The senior closed out his career with 131 points (55 goals, 21 assists) to rank fourth on Rowan’s all-time scoring list. 

Cleary (Turnersville, NJ)  was chosen as the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year and picks up his third straight All-Region honor, with back-to-back seasons on the First Team. He keyed Rowan’s defense, which allowed just 1.08 goals and had five shutouts in the final six matches. An All-NJAC selection in all four seasons, Cleary contributed offensively this year with two goals and a team-high eight assists. 

Caputo (Brick, NJ) makes his third consecutive appearance on the All-Region Second Team. The senior was the Profs’ second leading scorer this year with four goals and six assists, including a gamewinner against #22 Franklin & Marshall. 

A graduate transfer, Schlotterbeck (Cherry Hill, NJ)made an impact in his first season at Rowan. He scored four goals, including one gamewinner, while starting all 25 matches. It marks his second selection on the All-Region squad as he earned the recognition in 2024 while at Muhlenberg. 

Ferreira (Gladstone, NJ) makes his first appearance on the All-Region Team. The junior co-captain, who is a two-time selection to the All-NJAC First Team, played a key role in the Profs’ stingy defense, that recorded nine shutouts. He also contributed one assist on the season for Rowan. 

Rowan reached the NCAA Sweet 16 while winning its second straight NJAC Championship. The Profs (17-4-4) went without a loss for 12 consecutive matches before the season came to an end in the NCAA Third Round against eventual Final Four team Emory.

Emory got the goal it needed with just seconds remaining in the first half, as there was a scramble in front of the goal and Logan Steren put it in at 44:37 ending Rowan keeper Travis Holiday’s five-match shutout streak. It marked the first goal scored on the senior since October 27.

Rowan was still within striking distance but couldn’t get the equalizer. Emory then put the game out of reach in the 83rd minute when Adeyemi Oni scored on a breakaway.
