Scouting the Railsplitters: Lincoln Memorial comes into tomorrow's contest sporting a 3-2 record, and this will be their first South Atlantic Conference matchup of the season. In their most recent outing, the Railsplitters defeated the visiting Emmanuel College Lions 17-9 last Saturday. Francis O'Hara was the leading goal-scorer for either team in the game, scoring four goals and scooping up a groundball. O'Hara has the second-most goals for LMU through the first five games, tallying 11. Hunter Kot had a hat trick of his own against Emmanuel, scoring his fourth, fifth and sixth goals of 2023. Rhodes Conroy scored twice in that game, also adding four assists. He leads the Railsplitters with 21 points – 12 goals and nine assists – this season. The glaring weakness of the Railsplitters, which the Wolves will look to exploit, is their goaltending: They have the second-worst save percentage in the SAC at 46.4%.

Scouting the Wolves: Newberry enters Saturday evening's matchup coming off its first loss of the campaign to then-No.11 Rollins College (Nike/USA Lacrosse Magazine Poll) this past Sunday. The loss dropped the Wolves to 4-1, as they will look to get back in the win column. In the game against Rollins, the Wolves were led in scoring by senior Scott Reed (Ontario, Canada). Reed added four more goals to the stat book, bringing his total to 20 through five games. James Osorio (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) added two goals and two assists for the Wolves, as did Baker Westmoreland (Charlotte, N.C.). Briley Maxwell (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) likewise put two goals in the back of the net, while Miles Jones (Jupiter, FLA.) and Curtis Bukta (Ontario, Canada) added one each. Newberry will look to further enhance its offensive attack, as they currently lead the conference in shooting percentage (37%). The Wolves also have the best man-up conversion rate in the conference, 72%, and will look to continue their prowess in that regard in tomorrow's game.
