PC's defense held the Eagles to a remarkable 5-32 (15%) from the field in the second half to secure the 13-point victory.

Piedmont used a very balanced attack with nine different Lady Lions recording points led by BETH ADCOCK who notched 16 points including 3-4 from behind the tri-fecta. NIKKI SOSEBEE also reached double figures with 12 points while LISA JENNINGS added nine points on 3-5 from the three-point line.

Emory started the game on a 21-5 run before Piedmont ended the first half on a 25-14 run to get within four points. To start the second frame PC went on a 20-12 run and never looked back as Emory was unable to get within eight points for the remainder of regulation. The Lady Lions were able to double their opponents in the second half 34-17.
