Box Score
Montgomery, AL - The Lady Lions' 33-26 halftime lead didn't result in such a close finish, as 56 second half points sent the women to an 89-63 win over Huntingdon on the road in the last game of the regular season. Piedmont went up 7-0 in a heartbeat after a downtown shot by senior
Amber Satterfield. The Lady Hawks negated that with eight unanswered points to go on top by one five minutes into play.
The teams went back and forth throughout the rest of the half, alternating the lead and coming back to tie. A jumper by Huntingdon with 22 seconds remaining in the first half pulled it within one of the lead as the teams went into the locker rooms. The Lady Lions forced their hand coming out of the break, quickly pulling away. An 11-0 run during the midway part of the closing half gave the visitors a very comfortable 19-point lead with under 12 to play.
Piedmont stretched the lead into the 20's, and got up to 27-up on the Great South Athletic Conference foes. Senior
