NJIT at Saint Thomas (Minn.)

SAINT PAUL, Minn. (Interstat) — The NJIT Highlanders look to rebound from their first loss of the season when they visit the winless Saint Thomas (Minn.) Tommies in a non-conference women’s basketball game Sunday.

NJIT (3-1) opened the season with three consecutive road wins before a 88-39 defeat at Minnesota on Friday. The Highlanders had previously averaged 74.6 points per game in victories over Sacred Heart, Fordham and Wagner.

Saint Thomas (0-2) is still seeking its first win of the campaign after narrow losses to begin its schedule. The Tommies fell 67-61 to Army on Nov. 8 and opened the season with a 85-36 loss at Iowa State on Nov. 3. In the game against Army, Savannah McGowan led the Tommies with 18 points and six rebounds, while Alyssa Sand added 14 points, six rebounds and three blocks.

The game will be played at Schoenecker Arena. It is the first meeting between the two programs.

NJIT’s next game is at home against Saint Peter’s on Nov. 19. Saint Thomas travels to face Alaska Anchorage on Nov. 21.
