Women's basketball plays host to Anderson on Saturday

Harrogate, TN - After tallying a much needed win against Tusculum on Wednesday, the Lincoln Memorial Lady Splitters will hit the hardwood on Saturday for another conference match up, this time, playing host to the Anderson Lady Trojans. With a 30 point win over the Lady Pioneers, Lincoln Memorial ended a three game skid, improving to 12-4 on the season with a 7-3 mark in conference play, and a 6-1 record at home. Anderson is also having a good season thus far, amassing a record of 14-3 on the year with a 6-3 mark in conference play. The Lady Trojans are currently riding a three game winning streak, and are 5-3 on the road this season.

Lincoln Memorial is led in scoring by the tandem of Lauren Flowers and Jordan Maney, who each average 14.6 points per game. Flowers adds 5.1 rebounds per game as well, while Maney adds 4.4 rebounds per game. Alexa Smiddy is the only other Lady Railsplitter currently averaging double figure points per game, with 11.1 points per game. She also chips in 2.8 rebounds per game. Geo Rios continues to be the best rebounding guard in the conference, hauling in an astonishing 9.1 rebounds per game from the point guard position. She also chips in 8.9 points per game, nearly averaging a double-double. Matty Tanner has cost polyester net makers a fortune this year, seemingly torching nets every time she shoots the ball. She leads the Lady Splitters in three pointers made and three point field goal percentage (36, .391). Much like Rios, Chloe Savage is also playing some very well-rounded basketball, averaging 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Anderson features a five-headed offensive monster, with five players averaging 11 points or more. Diamond McDowell leads the Lady Trojans, averaging 16.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. Zamiya Passmore follows closely in scoring with 15.5 points per game to go along with 4.9 rebounds per game. Brittney Stafford averages 13.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game for Anderson as its third leading scorer. Nelliah Wilson is the team's leading rebounder, and fourth leading scorer, averaging a double-double on the season of 13.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. Ashlyn Sheridan is the last Lady Trojan that averages double figures, scoring an average of 11.5 points per game, with 5.0 rebounds per game.

Tip-off between the Lady Splitters and Lady Trojans is set for 2:00pm in Harrogate at Tex Turner Arena. The game can be found streaming online through FloSports at: https://flosports.link/46Ktgka
