The Highlanders are 1-5, getting beaten up pretty good while losing five in a row before beating Monmouth.

Here are their stats. https://www.njithighlanders.com/schedule.aspx?path=mlax

Cannot find a stream for the game. They get a 'friends and family' attendance of 130 or so.

I tend to agree, all downside, no lift. Perhaps Cannella knows the coach. :?

^^^
This -- NJIT also plays CAA members Delaware and Fairfield, as well as Army and Georgetown -- two strong programs. It's not easy to schedule 14 games when there are only 5 conference matches. So, a team like NJIT ends up on a lot of schedules.

Winning 23 of 30 faceoffs, and having 40 shots on goal vs. 18, will usually get it done.
