Box Score DEMOREST, Georgia -- The Piedmont College women's basketball team capped an undefeated weekend with a 71-56 victory over Berry College on the second day of the USA South / SAA Women's Basketball Classic at Cave Arena.  The win moves Piedmont to 3-1 overall on the season as the Lady Lions were the only team in the four-team classic to go unbeaten.

Berry scored the game's first eight points but from there it was all Piedmont.  A layup by LAUREN HAMEL tied the game with just over seven minutes remaining in the half and a jumper by CHANDLER ALVERSON less than a minute later would give the Lady Lions their final lead of the game.  Layups by LAUREN HAMEL and Kiki Thompson would cap a 14-0 run for Piedmont.

The Lady Lions held a 28-21 advantage at the break and hold the lead for the entire second frame despite the visiting Vikings whittling it down to four (50-46) on a jumper by Chandlir Segarra.
