WEST ORANGE, NJ – The NJIT men's ice hockey team posted a 4-1 win over Seton Hall Saturday at South Mountain Arena.

NJIT outshot the Pirates 58-45, dominating play for most of the game.
 
Getting the scoring starting in the first period was Alex Fleischmann who converted a pass from Michael Crincoli giving the Highlanders the lead. The lead was short lived when Seton Hall tied it up making the score 1-1 going into the second.
 
David Ferrero scored the game-winner in the second period off a feed from Will Hoer.
 
In the third, Crincoli added a goal of his own to increase the NJIT lead, 3-1.
