The Highlanders close out the month with a three-game series at Iona (Feb. 27-March 1).

NJIT then returns home to kick off an eight-game home stretch. The home opener takes place on Wednesday, March 4 as the Highlanders host Monmouth for their first midweek matchup. Following Monmouth, the Highlanders welcome Saint Peter's for their first weekend home series (March 6-8) and then they will face local rival Seton Hall (March 11) for their final home midweek game of the month. The Highlanders will close out their home stretch with Niagara for a three-game series (March 13-15) before hitting the road again to face Fairfield (March 17) for their first road midweek game.

America East play begins towards the end of March with the Highlanders first conference series being played at home against UAlbany (March 20-22) and to close out the month with a conference series at Bryant (March 27-29).

The Highlanders will also face Monmouth on the road (April 14) and will head up to Boston to take on Boston College for two games in May to conclude their non-conference opponents.

To round out the rest of conference play, the Highlanders will host the reigning America East champions, Binghamton on the first weekend of April (April 3-5) then hit the road to UMass Lowell (April 10-12).
