This will be the second meeting between the two teams this season, with Colgate taking the first game in Hamilton, NY, on January 3 by a score of 72-36.  Lulu Brase scored a career-high 15 points and nine rebounds for the Raiders while NJIT's Melanie Griffin led the Highlanders with nine points.
 
NJIT is coming off an 81-75 overtime women's basketball victory over Texas-Pan American Saturday evening in Great West Conference action at the UTPA Fieldhouse.
 
The victory was the 10th of the season and the third time the Highlanders have reached the 10-win mark since competing against a Division I schedule (first season against D1 schedule 06-07) - (07-08 (10), 11-12 (13, school-record).
 
Rayven Johnson had a record-setting night Saturday, scoring a career-high 36 points and grabbing a career-high 17 rebounds.  The 17 rebounds were also a new career mark for the senior and also an NJIT Division I single-game record.
 
The 36 points are the second-highest single-game scoring total in school history and in the Division I era.  NJIT's all-time leading scorer Jessica Gerald holds the record with 37 points vs. Cal State Bakersfield  on January 11, 2008.
 
The Highlanders, who never led in regulation and trailed by as many as 18 points, sent the game into overtime with four seconds remaining on the clock.  NJIT put the ball in the hands of their leading scorer Johnson, who received the ball on the low block off an inbounds play.  Johnson's turnaround jumper knotted the game at 68, forcing overtime.
 
The Broncs pulled within three of the Highlanders, 76-73, after Joyea Marshall hit one of two free throws with 1:08 remaining.  NJIT's senior Kim Dweck then sealed the game knocking down five free throws with 32 seconds remaining in the contest for an 81-75 overtime victory.
 
The Highlanders are led by current CollegeSportsMadness Player of the Week in the Great West Conference, Johnson, who is averaging close to a double-double with 16.0ppg and 9.7rpg (ranks 53rd in the nation).  The senior has posted 11 double-doubles on the season (ranks 18th in the nation) and 22 for her career while registering double-figure scoring in 19 out of 24 games this season.    
 
NJIT's second leading scorer is junior Uju Nwankwo, the Highlanders athletic forward and a Preseason Great West Conference second-team honoree. 
 
Nwawnko is averaging 7.1ppg and second with 7.4rpg.  Nwawnko has at least one block or one steal in 22 out of 24 games.  Nwanwko leads the GWC in blocked shots with 47 (ranks 38th in the nation with 1.96bpg) and fifth in the conference in rebounding.
 
Sophomore Sarah Olson ranks third on the team with 6.8ppg.  Olson leads the conference in three-point field goal percentage (40-108 - .370) and second in three-pointers made (40).
 
Point guard Alyssa Albanese leads the Highlanders with 59 assists (ranking sixth in the conference, 2.3apg).
