Anderson, SC - Three days after downing Emory & Henry in the final game of the regular season, the Lincoln Memorial women's lacrosse team took to Anderson, SC to take on the Anderson Trojans in the South Atlantic Conference Tournament. As the three-seed, the Trojans hosted the Railsplitters who were the six-seed. Earlier this season, Anderson defeated Lincoln Memorial 20-4 at Anderson.
