The Lady Lions placed five different players in double-figures but when the potential game-tying three-pointer fell short Emory was able to come away with the five-point victory.
Kayla Duncan and Yetta Bailey led the way for PC with 14 points respectively. Nikki Sosebee and Lisa Jennings chipped in with 11 points apiece while Sheena Trimiar added 10 points. The women shot an impressive 54% from the field for the game but lost the turnover and rebounds margins by four each.
