NEWARK, NJ—NJIT, in a stretch of three consecutive home matches, will host LIU Brooklyn on Wednesday at 4pm on the campus of Kean University's East Campus Facility. 

Defending Northeast Conference regular season champion, LIU Brooklyn advanced to the first round of the 2015 NCAA Men's College Cup, falling to Rutgers in penalty kicks.

LIU Brooklyn recently had a four-match unbeaten streak halted at Albany, and enter the contest with a 5-3-1 overall record.

Sophomore Rasmus Hansen had three assists in LIU's recent 4-0 win over Saint Peter's, and his seven helpers on the season rank him in a tie for second nationally.

Junior Naeem Charles also had a big offensive weekend, scoring three times including twice against the Peacocks.

LIU Brooklyn head coach TJ Kostecky coached six seasons at NJIT (1988-1993) with the Highlanders reaching the ECAC Division III Tournament in 1988, 1990, 1991 and 1992.

NJIT (4-3-2) looks to match last seasons win total with a win over LIU Brooklyn.

The Highlanders split a pair of matches in ASUN Conference play with Jacksonville and nationally-ranked Florida Gulf Coast. Most recently against the No. 15 Eagles, the Highlanders dropped a 4-1 decision despite outshooting their opponent by a 17-11 margin.

All four of NJIT's wins this season have been by a one-goal margin, with three of them being 1-0 scores. The four one-goal wins are tied for the most in a single season in NJIT's Division I era.

The Highlanders opened the season with 1-0 shutouts at Fairleigh Dickinson and Manhattan before tying George Washington in D.C., 1-1. NJIT then sandwiched a 3-2 win at Niagara in-between a 1-0 loss versus Rider and a 2-1 double-overtime setback opposite St. Francis Brooklyn. The Highlanders tied Stony Brook, 2-2, before tallying their goal in the 8th minute to win the programs first-ever ASUN victory against Jacksonville.

Freshman Rene White, who has a team-high five goals this year, scored the lone goal for NJIT.
