NJIT will continue its five game road trip on Sunday when the Highlanders visit No. 25 West Virginia at WVU Coliseum.  Tipoff is slated for 2pm.

NJIT is coming off a 77-57 loss at Howard behind a strong performance from graduate student Kelly Guarino, who matched her career mark in points (24).  Guarino shot 6-for-13 from the field, 5-for-10 from three-point range and 7-for-7 from the free-throw line in an impressive effort.  Guarino last scored 24 points at North Florida on February 17, 2018.

The Highlanders opened the season on Tuesday at Saint Peter's, dropping a 70-57 decision, despite a career-night for junior Danielle Tunstall, who combined for a double-double, pouring in 24 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.

First-year head coach Mike Lane comes to NJIT after spending six seasons at Bucknell University as the top assistant coach, where he helped guide the Bison to a program-best 27-6 mark, Patriot League title and conference championship while earning a berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2017.
