Owls defeat hot-shooting NJIT team for eighth win

With his team down by four with 22 seconds left on the verge of its first four-game losing streak since the 2013-14 season, New Jersey Institute of Technology coach Brian Kennedy drew up a play for senior guard Damon Lynn.

Lynn continued his hot play to start the season, finishing with a game-high 25 points. He scored the Highlanders’ first four baskets of the second half on his way to 20 second-half points. But he couldn’t score when needed most.

Lynn missed his final two 3-point attempts in the final 30 seconds of NJIT’s 68-63 loss on Saturday at the Liacouras Center.
