The Piedmont College women's basketball team continued its winning ways with a dominating 76-60 road victory over conference foe Huntingdon College this afternoon in Montgomery, AL. The victory extends the Lady Lions' season-high eight-game winning streak and keeps them undefeated in the Great South Athletic Conference.

The Lady Lions controlled the game early and did not relenquish the lead for the first eight minutes. Huntingdon answered with a 7-0 run in the next two minutes to take its largest lead of the game at 18-13. PC answered with an 11-0 run due largely to a pair of SHEENA TRIMIAR steals to take the lead for good. When the first half ended the Lady Lions were ahead 28-25.

After Huntingdon cut the lead to 29-28, Piedmont exploded with a 13-0 run on five turnovers over the course of the next six mintues. Senior NIKKI SOSEBEE ignited the run with four points, two steals, and a blocked shot. The Lady Hawks refused to quit and went on a 14-2 run of their own over the next five minutes making the score 44-42.

After the rally PC calmly responded scoring 23 of the next 29 points to take the largest lead of the game at 67-48 with three minutes left. During the stretch freshman COURTNEY ODUM notched eight points while fellow newcomer LAURA SIMMONS added four points to lead the charge. 

Trimiar paced the Lady Lions with 14 points and four steals while Sosebee added a double-double of 11 points and rebounds and four steals as well. LISA JENNINGS and Simmons added 12 and 11 points apiece while BETH ADCOCK chipped in with seven points and a season-high nine assists while committing zero turnovers.
