Need a bit more info.

US Citizen? Global Entry?
Any checked bags?

I would risk the connection with carry-on only and my Global Entry.
With checked bag and/or Non-US passport, it seems awfully risky.

On the plus side, a late evening UAX flight out of EWR has a good chance of being delayed anyway.
