ANDERSON, S.C. – The Lady Railsplitters will try to snap a season-long six-game losing streak on Wednesday when they conclude their six-game road trip with a South Atlantic Conference doubleheader at Anderson.
 
The last week has not been kind to Lincoln Memorial (19-15, 2-6 SAC), which has dropped its last four games on the road against nationally ranked opponents. After being swept by No. 19 Queens last Friday, the Lady Railsplitters were handed 10-3 and 11-4 losses by No. 12 Lenoir-Rhyne on Monday. 
 
Anderson (24-10, 6-4 SAC) is also looking to snap its longest losing streak of the season, as the Trojans have lost four straight games since opening SAC play with six straight wins. The Trojans were most recently swept at Wingate by scores of 5-2 and 6-5. 
 
Lincoln Memorial is 10-11 all-time against the Trojans with a 3-7 mark on the road. The two teams split last season's doubleheader but the Lady Railsplitters were swept in their most recent trip to Anderson in 2016.
