GREENEVILLE, Tenn. – The Lincoln Memorial men's lacrosse team looks to snap a three-game losing streak and play its way into the postseason conversation on Wednesday with a trip to Greeneville, Tenn., to face the Tusculum Pioneers in South Atlantic Conference action. 
 
The Railsplitters (3-9, 1-5 SAC) closed out the LMU Lacrosse Complex last Saturday with a 17-5 loss to Lenoir-Rhyne, which put Lincoln Memorial on the brink of missing out on the SAC tournament for the first time since 2016. Tusculum (6-4, 2-3 SAC), meanwhile, snapped a three-game skid of its own on Saturday with a 14-12 win at Coker.

After a pair of goals from Chris Tucker and a goal from Hunter Clark cut the deficit to 7-4 with 4:49 to play in the second quarter, Lincoln Memorial would not score again until the 2:56 mark of the fourth while the Bears ripped off nine unanswered goals to put the match away.
