Harrogate, TN — Lincoln Memorial returns to Mary Mars Gym on Friday night for a South Atlantic Conference showdown with Anderson (SC). First serve is set for 6 p.m., and fans are encouraged to join the fun for Twin Day.

The Railsplitters (7–10, 3–5 SAC) look to bounce back behind a balanced attack that's averaging 11.8 kills per set on .174 hitting. Kaytlin Johnson leads LMU with 184 kills (3.29/set), while Megan Maier (132) and Laney Inman (128) provide steady production. The two-setter system of Carley Raleigh (353 assists, 5.60/set) and Lauren Pickett (269, 4.20/set) keeps the offense humming, and Lauren Jacob anchors the back row with 253 digs (5.06/set). At the net, Sarah Robbins headlines the block with 48 total on the year as LMU has totaled 85.0 team blocks.

Anderson (9–4, 4–1 SAC) enters hot, hitting .210 on the season with 13.5 kills per set and a defense that digs 17.8 per set. The Trojans spread it around offensively with Mia Elder (132 kills), Mikaylah Hedlund (138), and Emily Campbell (112) all north of 2.3 kills per set, while Ellie Nieporte (403 assists, 8.40/set) quarterbacks a quick, efficient system. Anderson also brings bite from the service line (61 aces) and solid first contact (only 50 reception errors).

Friday marks the 35th all-time meeting between the programs; Anderson holds a 18–16 edge and has taken the last nine in the series. LMU's last win came in 2018, and the Railsplitters will look to flip the script on their home floor as league play hits the heart of October.
