Short Preview

As the NJIT Highlanders prepare to host the Albany Great Danes on February 19, 2026, both teams are eyeing pivotal positioning in their NCAA schedules. The Highlanders come into this contest riding a wave of momentum, having secured victories in their last five matchups. This winning streak underscores their robust form and momentum, which they will aim to leverage on home soil.

In contrast, Albany has faced a more challenging stretch, winning only two of their last five games. Despite their recent inconsistencies, the Great Danes possess the capacity to capitalize on any defensive lapses from NJIT.
