With only one game this weekend the short-handed Highlanders hoped to have enough energy to get back on the winning track as they faced off against their arch rivals from Rutgers. 

Once again they jumped out to a 1 - 0 lead, this time on an unassisted goal by Jason Anagnos. 

Michael Lipinski was unbeatable in net for the first two periods as NJIT held a 1 - 0 lead in the 3rd period. 

But the tying goal for Rutgers gave them a boost and  the game slowly slipped away on 4 unanswered goals by the Scarlet Knights.
