With a 61-51 win over fellow Division I opponent Bryant University, the New Jersey Institute of Technology Highlanders ended the longest losing streak in men’s college basketball’s top division at 51 straight losses. Led by sophomore guard Jheryl Wilson’s career best 26 points, NJIT took the lead for good at 12-10 with 13:02 remaining in the first half, besting the Bryant Bulldogs for their first win since February 19, 2007.

Ironically, the end of the Highlanders’ losing streak also marked the school’s 800th victory since beginning play in 1922-23 as the Newark College of Engineering. The NJIT Highlanders are 800-701 since then and riding a one game winning streak.
Go Highlanders!
