Last Time Out
 
Lincoln Memorial came ever so close to capturing the program's first-ever South Atlantic Conference win on Saturday in Harrogate, but the Newberry Wolves closed on a 4-0 run to hand the Lady Railsplitters a 10-9 loss in the SAC opener. After falling behind 5-2 midway through the first half, the Lady Railsplitters ripped off a 7-1 run to grab a 9-6 lead with 23 minutes to play. However, the home team was held scoreless over that closing stretch while the Wolves rallied for the victory. Amara Moss (Woodbridge, Va.) led the way with three goals, while Bre'Asia James (Vero Beach, Fla.) produced two goals and three assists. Jasmin Click (Clermont, Fla.) contributed two goals as well.
 
James Leading the Way Again
 
Sophomore attacker Bre'Asia James is already halfway to her point total from the entire 2015 campaign, as she has accounted for seven goals and five assists so far this season. James led the Lady Railsplitters last season with 23 goals and an assist, ranking 38th in the SAC with 24 total points.
 
Let's Try This Again
 
The Lady Railsplitters were originally scheduled to host Asbury in the 2016 season opener on February 13, but snow and temperatures well below freezing forced the two teams to reschedule the match and change locations to Tuesday in Wilmore, Ky.
 
A Bumpy Start for Asbury
 
The Eagles are off to a really slow start this season, as they sank to 0-4 on Saturday with a 12-9 loss to Lourdes University. Prior to that, Asbury suffered a 17-3 loss to Tennessee Wesleyan in the season opener, lost 16-7 at Point University and dropped an 18-5 decision to Ave Maria University.
 
Players to Watch
 
Alex George led Asbury in that loss to Lourdes, tallying five goals and an assist on six shot attempts. Erin Garmany added three goals on a team-leading eight shots and six shots on goal. Garmany also paced the Eagles against Ave Maria, scoring two goals, while Rachel Manieri chipped in a pair of assists.
