HARROGATE, Tenn. – Lincoln Memorial (8-3-3, 3-3-3 SAC) closes out its regular season as the Catawba Indians (2-10-2, 1-6-2 SAC) pay a visit on Saturday night. Due to expected inclement weather in the forecast, the game has been moved to the turf fields at the Sansom Soccer Complex in Knoxville.
 
The Railsplitters have had a full week off since eking out a 1-0 victory in double overtime at Anderson. LMU will look to solidify its seeding in the SAC Championship and has a chance to earn a quarterfinal home match with a win and a Mars Hill loss to Anderson. Catawba defeated USC Aiken Wednesday for its first win in eight matches and has to win Saturday to have a chance to avoid finishing last in the conference.

Quick Hits 

- Danilo da Silva's 104^th-minute direct kick score from 30 yards out gave Lincoln Memorial a 1-0 win at host Anderson Saturday. The goal snapped a streak of 514 minutes in which the Railsplitters failed to score in a road SAC match.
 
- Da Silva has accumulated at least one point in every match the Railsplitters have scored and has four multi-point efforts. Da Silva's 25 points lead the SAC, while he is tied for second in assists and fifth in goals. The senior is the first Railsplitter to crack a double-digit goal total since 2013. He can become the first LMU player since Mario Pinto in 2012 to lead the conference in points.
 
- Eight Railsplitters will play their final regular-season home match Saturday. The team's senior class is made up of Raphael Baeta, George Cant, Andrea Cattaneo, da Silva, Andres Pratto, Henrique Rezek, Diego Velazquez and Diego Zannoni.
 
- The Railsplitters are 4-1-1 at home and 2-1-1 in SAC play. The team owns a 4-2-2 mark on the road but is 1-2-2 against conference opponents. The team came dangerously close to getting shut out in all five of its road conference matches until da Silva scored Saturday's game-winner. Playing at the LMU Soccer Complex has been a different story offensively, as the team has scored at least twice in four of its five matches and added a three-goal performance in a home match that was moved to Barbourville, Kentucky.
 
- Caleb Cothrin has sat in favor of Caio Bergamo the past four matches after starting nine straight in goal for the Railsplitters. Bergamo made a season-high eight saves and earned his second shutout in Saturday's win. The duo has combined for six shutouts, a 0.93 goals against average and .821 save percentage.
 
- Lincoln Memorial's 1.79 goals per game average is third in the conference behind Wingate and Carson-Newman, who sit atop the standings. The team is seventh with 12 goals in SAC play—11 of which were scored at home. Half that total came in a 6-0 win over Newberry. LMU has 25 total goals and has scored multiple times in eight of 14 matches.
 
- The Railsplitters average the tenth-most fouls per game nationally at 15.79. The team has also been issued 34 yellow cards—second in the SAC—and tied for 19^th nationally. Henrique Rezek, Felipe Machado, Diego Velazquez and Christoph Willemsen have each received a team-high four cautions. Five others have been carded at least twice.

Know the Opponent
 
- Catawba is having one of its worst seasons in program history. The team will finish with fewer than four wins for the first time since at least 2003. The Indians have a chance to finish with just one conference win for the first time since 2009.
 
- Catawba finished the year winless at home in SAC play at 0-4-1. The team has fared better on the road at 1-2-1 with a win over Coker. The Indians also tied league-leading Wingate 0-0.
 
- The only SAC team to score fewer goals than Catawba both overall and in SAC play is Mars Hill. The Indians are ninth in goals per game overall at 1.14 and have scored multiple goals just four times in 14 games. 
 
- The Indians average a league-low 10.6 shots per game and have only outshot opponents twice. The team has only attempted more than 15 shots once—16 in its match against Queens.
 
- Philipp Hollenhorst leads the team with five goals and ten points. Three of those goals have come on penalty kicks. Only two other players have scored twice—Omer Green and Finley Carroll.
 
- Catawba is allowing the most goals per game in the SAC at 2.35. Evan Jeckells has started seven games in goal and has a 2.30 goals against average and .680 save percentage. Joe Gonzalez has played better in six starts with a 2.13 goals against average and .711 save percentage, but the team is 0-6-1 when he plays.
 
Head-to-Head
 
- Lincoln Memorial holds a 13-7 edge in the all-time series, though the teams have split the last four meetings.
 
- The teams split last year's meetings—both of which took place in Salisbury, N.C. Catawba scored the go-ahead goal with 59 seconds left in regulation to win 2-1 in the regular-season finale and earn the No. 4 seed over the Railsplitters. The teams met again four days later in the SAC Tournament quarterfinal, and LMU returned the favor with a 2-1 win.
 
- Lincoln Memorial won the last matchup in Harrogate, 3-2 in 2015.
