Box Score Greensboro, NC -- The Lions couldn't shake a strong Pride offensive effort, giving up two goals in the first and one in the second on the road. Piedmont was outshot 12-0 in each half in a game that was reminiscent of last year's loss of the same score at home.

On a cold, windy day in Greensboro, the Pride stepped up and scored a goal five minutes in to put the Lions behind early. The goal was headed in off a corner earned by the home team.

All of the Lions top scorers were unable to get past the Greensboro defense in the first half. The Lions earned a few opportunities early attempting an equalizer, but nothing shook the posts behind the Pride defense.

Greensboro, who found themselves with seven corners in the first half, took advantage of another in the 31st minute. Lions keeper Kenneth Hearn went up to save a ball over a teammate but couldn't reach it and with #1 out of the net, the Greensboro offense punched it into the net bringing the score to 2-0 before halftime.

After half, the Lions gathered some courage and pushed harder against the Pride. While earning a few more fouls, they were able to get into the Greensboro defense and keep them honest.

Fifteen minutes into the second half, Greensboro earned a free kick in a dangerous position left of the eighteen yard box. The Pride forward striked a curving ball in that didn't look worthy, but it ricocheted off two players giving it too much distance for Hearn to make the tough save.

With the score at 3-0, advantage Greensboro, both teams settled in for the last 25 minutes. Although both teams gave effort until the final whistle, the score was set in stone.

Piedmont's now 3-4 in USA South conference play and hoping to even out the record with a win at Averett University tomorrow. Game time is set for 3:00 p.m. in Danville, VA.
