THE MATCHUP
UNH has a 4-1 lifetime record against the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The teams met for the first time as conference rivals this past December in Lundholm Gym. NJIT took Game 1 (in the Highlanders' inaugural America East conference game) and UNH won Game 2 to give Kelsey Hogan her first win as head coach. Prior to this season, these programs had not met since Nov. 14, 2014, when New Hampshire prevailed 61-56 at Lundholm Gym.
