Piedmont Caps Perfect Weekend With 71-61 Victory Over Methodist

The Piedmont College women's basketball team capped off a perfect weekend at the Methodist College Inn-Keeper I-95 Turkey Shootout this evening with a 71-61 victory over the host Lady Monarchs. Piedmont was the only team to win both contests in the four-team event. 

Nikki Sosebee's layup just 1:39 into the game gave the Lady Lions their first and final lead of the contest as Piedmont raced out to a 40-28 halftime advantage. Piedmont stretched its lead to 20 points in the second half as Methodist would get no closer than 10 points. 

Sosebee tallied a game-high 18 points while teammate Jammie Boyce added a career-best 10 points on 5-6 shooting. Beth Adcock (pictured) added seven points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Piedmont outrebounded Methodist 48-30 on the night including 24 rebounds on the offensive end which resulted in 18 second-chance points.

For her efforts, Adcock was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player with Sosebee joining her on the All-Tournament team. 

Piedmont returns to action on Thursday, December 1st when the Lady Lion host Emory University with tip-off set for 6:00 in the Johnny Mize Athletic Center.
