The Piedmont College women's basketball team went on the road this afternoon and defeated Great South Athletic Conference host LaGrange College in LaGrange, GA by the score of 91-90 in overtime. The Lady Lions trailed with 30 seconds remaining in regulation and overtime but came through to notch their sixth conference win.

The Panthers converted a layup and foul shot for a three-point lead before LISA JENNINGS stepped up and tied the score with 30 seconds to go with a tri-fecta sending the game into overtime.

With the game on the line KAYLA DUNCAN then hit a jumper and was fouled with 17 seconds left. The senior calmly knocked down the free-throw and after a missed LaGrange basket the one-point victory was sealed.
