Decatur, GA -- The Piedmont College volleyball team took its first action in the 2010 Great South Athletic Conference Championship Tournament earlier this afternoon 3-0 over the host Scotties of Agnes Scott College. The third-seeded Lady Lions did their part to keep the seeding true taking care of the sixth-seeded Scotties in a straight set decision.
Piedmont kicked off the match with a 25-14 decisive win in the opening set of the match before having to fight off an Agnes Scott rally in set number two to take a tight 25-21 victory. PC then would leave no doubt rolling to a 25-11 third set winner to take the match 3-0 overall.

Kalin DeMarrais was the kill leader with eight to go along with her seven digs. Fellow senior
Heather Stafford also had an all-around day earning seven kills and eight digs to help PC past its quarterfinal opponent.
