12/5/2022 2:18:00 PM

NEWARK, N.J. — NJIT men's lacrosse coach Eric Wolf has officially announced the Highlanders' 2023 schedule on Monday afternoon.

The first year of the Wolf Era - and the program's ninth season of competition - will see NJIT play a 13-game schedule featuring six non-conference contests, seven America East games, six home matches and seven road trips.

2023 will kick off with four games in February, beginning with the season opener at Siena on Saturday, February 11. The Highlanders' home opener will be held a week later (Saturday, February 18) against Mount St. Mary's. NJIT will have a pair of two-game road trips this year, starting with back-to-back games at Monmouth (Tuesday, February 21) and Manhattan (Saturday, February 25).

March begins with the Highlanders' longest homestand of the campaign, a three-game stretch against Wagner (Saturday, March 4), Lindenwood (Saturday, March 11), and two-time defending America East champion Vermont (Saturday, March 18) in NJIT's league opener. NJIT will close out March on the road against Binghamton on Saturday, March 25.

The final month of the regular season will feature five conference matchups. The Highlanders will face America East newcomers Bryant (Saturday, April 1 at home) and Merrimack (Saturday, April 8 on the road) in back-to-back games before closing the year out at UAlbany (Saturday, April 15), against UMBC (Senior Day on Saturday, April 22) and at UMass Lowell (Saturday, April 29).

The four-team America East Men's Lacrosse Championship will be held on May 4 & 6 at the highest seed in the tournament. 

OTHER NOTES

  • NJIT will face four first-time opponents in 2023: Bryant (newest full member of America East), Lindenwood (who is transitioning to Division I), Merrimack (AE Associate member for 2023 and 2024), and Mount St. Mary's (newest member of the MAAC).

  • The Highlanders will open the season on the road for the second consecutive season.

  • Two NJIT opponents - Vermont and Manhattan - made it to the 2022 NCAA Tournament and coincidentally faced each other in the opening round.
