The Lady Lions got within one point at the 4:00 minute mark but the Tigers finished with a three-pointer with less than a minute remaining to enter the half leading 31-28.

After BU scored the first basket of the second half PC went on a 6-0 run to take the lead for good at the 17:00 mark. With Piedmont leading by one point at the 10:00 mark the Lady Lions went on a 10-0 run and took a commanding 51-40 lead.

After a seven minute stretch that featured only six points from both sides PC finished the final two minutes on a  7-2 run to secure the 16-point victory.
