NEWARK, N.J. (Interstat) — A surging NJIT team will look to continue its strong start when it hosts local foe Fairleigh Dickinson in a non-conference women’s basketball game on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025.

The Highlanders (6-1) have won four straight games, most recently a 73-66 victory over Drexel on Saturday. Olivia Kulyk led the way with 24 points and eight rebounds, while Ava Locklear recorded an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double.

The Knights (3-3) are coming off their most impressive performance of the season, a 72-41 rout of Delaware State last Wednesday. Guard Madlena Gerke scored 23 points in that win, and fellow guard Ava Renninger added 10 points and seven assists.

NJIT’s offense has been potent during its winning streak, averaging 76.5 points per game in that span. Fairleigh Dickinson’s results have been more volatile, including a 98-52 loss to Notre Dame and a 49-point win over Bloomfield College.

The game will be held at the Fleisher Athletic Center. It is the first of a two-game homestand for the Highlanders, who will host Lafayette on Sunday. The Knights will return home to face Monmouth next Saturday.
