The Highlanders joined Division I in 2006 after being in Division II since 1997. In the final year of the Great West Conference, NJIT (who had finished 2nd out of the 5 teams with a 6–2 conference record) won the tournament, their first ever in school history. They have never qualified for the NCAA Tournament.[3]
