NEWARK, NJ—The NJIT Highlanders bounced back from Saturday's thrashing to defeat Gettysburg 8-4. 

The game was close, too close for the first two periods as Gettysburg held a 3-2 lead going into the third period.

After the break it was all NJIT though as the Highlanders put up 6 goals in the third period to put this one away.  Corrado Mancini led the attack with 4 goals, Michael Criscitello, Jason Anagnos and Nikola Naumovski each had 2.

Assists were as follows:
Manciini – 3
Anagnos – 3
Criscitello – 1
Lucin – 1
Fleischmann – 1
Finkle - 1

The Highlanders travel to Kalamazoo, Michigan for the ACHA D-II Showcase next weekend and will be back home on the 26th.
