Rowan’s Troiano, Cleary, Caputo, Schlotterbeck and Ferreira Earn All-Region Honors

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.

Running a small business in Gloucester City means juggling many roles, owner, marketer, customer liaison, and sometimes even accountant. Some entrepreneurs partner with professionals like a small business accountant to handle finances, freeing up time to focus on growing their brand. But visibility isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s about being seen, trusted, and remembered by local customers. If your business could use a boost, here are actionable tips to help small businesses in Gloucester City shine without needing a huge budget.

Why Visibility Matters Locally

Before diving into strategies, it helps to understand why visibility is essential, especially in tight-knit communities like ours:

  • Most customers start locally: They search for “near me,” see what friends recommend, or just walk around and notice signage.
  • Trust comes from consistency: Businesses that appear regularly, online, in person, in their neighborhoods, feel more reliable.
  • Word-of-mouth is powerful: A satisfied local customer can bring in several others; reputation spreads fast in smaller communities.

With that in mind, here are ways to improve visibility effectively.

HOME COUNTRY: It might have been the winter doldrums that did it.

It might have been the winter doldrums that did it. You can never be sure of these things. It’s just that … well, Doc is one of those guys who can’t stand to see anyone bored. He claims it’s bad for their inner chemistry, and since he has more initials after his name than anyone else in town, we tend to listen to him.
When it happened, we in the inner circle of the World Dilemma Think Tank down at the Mule Barn truck stop thought back on what Doc had said a year ago when the temperature dropped, along with everyone’s spirits.
“In weather like this,” Doc pronounced, stirring sugar into his cup, “a real American would come up with a great hoax.”
Those of us sitting at the philosophy counter that morning just nodded, even though we didn’t have a clue. No one wanted to admit it, you see.
When the Valley Weekly Miracle hit the street yesterday, we bought one to see how much the editor dared to print, as always, but there in the classifieds was this:
“LOST – One gray squirrel, fluffy tail, two years old. Answers to “Chipper.” $5.25 reward. Call Doc.”
The paper was passed down the counter and we all looked at Doc after we read it. He was smirking as only Doc can smirk.
