Key Games

2/21 @ Monmouth: The Highlanders will travel to face fellow New Jersey foe Monmouth in a midweek contest in late February. NJIT fell to Monmouth 15-7 last season in the seventh overall game between these two. NJIT has beaten Monmouth once in history, scoring an 8-5 victory in 2019. They will be looking to get back in the win column here in 2023.

3/4 vs Wagner: NJIT will open the month of March at home against the Wagner Seahawks. These two programs met for the first time last season in a game that yielded a 7-5 Wagner victory despite an early 3-0 lead for the Highlanders. They will be looking to turn the tide against the Seahawks at home this spring.

4/29 @ UMass Lowell: NJIT ends the regular season on the road against UMass Lowell in what will be a battle between two first-year head coaches. The Highlanders knocked off the River Hawks in 2021 for the program’s first conference win and came close to beating them again last season with an 8-7 contest in which NJIT led midway through the third.
