JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The Lady Railsplitters moved to 8-1 over their last nine matches and pushed their winning streak to three with a 25-21, 25-22, 25-22 sweep at Carson-Newman on Tuesday night at Holt Fieldhouse. 
 
Lincoln Memorial (17-7, 13-5 SAC) and Carson-Newman (13-12, 9-9 SAC) were nearly dead even in terms of offensive production, as the Lady Railsplitters posted 35 kills on a .198 attack percentage compared to 37 on a .190 clip for the Eagles. However, Carson-Newman was undone by a plethora of errors, as the home team combined for 37 miscues, including nine service errors and seven ball-handling errors. 
 
No LMU player had more than eight kills while six had at least three. Rylee Storms led the Lady Railsplitters with eight kills to go with six digs, while Kai Wesemann had seven kills. Danielle Ged notched six kills on only 10 attempts, and Lindsey Nartker and Tone Gill added five kills apiece. Emily Walter produced 25 assists, five digs and two blocks, while Erica Whiteaker tied a match-high mark with 14 digs. 
 
Marnie Streeter paced Carson-Newman with a game-high 11 kills. Megan Oldenburger finished with eight. Madison Rademacher (14) and Taylor Rohr (12) combined for 26 assists, while Morgan Ballard logged 14 digs. 
 
The Lady Railsplitters spread the wealth in the opening set with five different players producing multiple kills in a 25-21 victory. Nartker and Gill led the way with three apiece. The set was tied six different times, but LMU took the lead for good with a 5-1 run that made it 14-11. The Lady Railsplitters steadily increased their lead after that, pulling in front 20-16 on a kill from Wesemann. Carson-Newman was never able to cut the deficit to less than three down the closing stretch, while Nartker closed out the set with a kill. 
 
Lincoln Memorial managed only eight kills on a .040 attack percentage in the second set, but five Carson-Newman service errors helped the Lady Railsplitters take a 2-0 lead in the match with a 25-22 victory. After falling behind 3-2, Lincoln Memorial pulled ahead with a 3-0 run and never trailed again. A 5-0 run aided by two aces from Nartker pushed the Lady Railsplitters out to a commanding 20-12 lead. Carson-Newman later chopped the deficit down to 22-18, but an ill-timed service error swung the momentum back in the LMU's favor. The Eagles again closed the gap down to two at 24-22 before a solo block from Gill wrapped up the set.   
 
The Lady Railsplitters saved their best for last offensively, racking up a match-high 14 kills on a .333 attack percentage to win set three 25-22. Lincoln Memorial found itself trailing 7-5 early, but a 5-1 run gave the visitors the lead for good. The Eagles stayed within striking distance and cut the LMU lead to 18-17 before back-to-back setting errors sparked a 4-1 run that made it 22-18. C-N later whittled the deficit to 23-22, but kills from Ged and Storms thwarted any comeback bid. 
 
The win pushes Lincoln Memorial to 39-19 all-time against Carson-Newman. The Lady Railsplitters also beat the Eagles for the fifth time in the last six tries. 
 
Lincoln Memorial closes out the regular season this weekend with a road trip to face Coker on Friday and Wingate on Saturday.
