LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OFFICE OF SPORTS INFORMATION Sports Release November 8, 2007 Railsplitters Fall At Middle Tennessee State 93-68 MURFREESBORO, TN - Middle Tennessee State used a 31-13 run in the first half to pull out to a big lead and never looked back as they downed Lincoln Memorial University 93-68 in exhibition action on Thursday. (Box score) LMU got behind early and the host Blue Raiders pulled out to the 53-26 lead at the half using a combination of solid shooting and a stifling press that held LMU scoreless for eleven straight possessions and created 19 points off turnovers. The second half was more even as the Railsplitters outscored MTSU 42-40 and eventually ended up outrebounding the Blue Raiders on the evening 47-46. Terry Delaney, playing before a hometown crowd, led LMU with 19 points and 13 rebounds. Freshman Ryan Whitaker (Pineville, KY) followed with 16 points and sophomore Beau Brown (Athens, TN) scored 10 points. Kevin Kanaskie led the Blue Raiders with 21 points, including four three pointers. Lincoln Memorial will end their exhibition run on Sunday when they travel to Carbondale, Illinois to take on the Salukis of Southern Illinois University. -LMU- For additional
