Junior Christian Galindo scored his second game-winning goal of the year for NJIT, lifting the Highlanders to a 2-1 overtime win over visiting Quinnipiac in non-conference men's soccer Sunday afternoon on Lubetkin Field at J. Malcolm Simon Stadium.
 
With two goals in his first year with NJIT, Galindo scored Sunday's game-winner just 2:09 into the overtime with his team holding a two-man advantage. His previous goal came in a 3-2 victory at VMI on September 4.
 
Galindo settled matters on NJIT's first foray of overtime, firing a hard shot that demanded a solid save by the Quinnipiac goalkeeper, junior Josh Lavallee. However, all Lavallee could do was deflect the shot back out into the field, where it went straight to the originator, Galindo, who rocketed the rebound back past the helpless keeper.

Next up for the Highlanders is a big non-conference match, when they host a team from the powerful Atlantic Coast Conference for the first time in program history. Indeed, the visit from Virginia Tech on Saturday at 7 pm will be the first by an ACC team to NJIT in any sport.
