LaGrange, GA - After a scoreless first half for the second straight game, the Piedmont College women's soccer team came out red-hot in the second half of Saturday's 4-1 win over LaGrange College in USA South play. 

PC scored three goals in the first eight minutes of the second half after being held off the board in the opening 45 minutes with ALORA MCCOY scoring the first on another assist from CASSIDY REICH.  McCoy's goal was her second of the season while Reich tabs her conference-leading 12th assist of the year. 

LaGrange equalized 94 seconds later, but Piedmont answered with goals from Reich and SAMANTHA ISHEE in less than a three-minute span to assume control early in the second half.  Reich would add another in the 69th minute for good measure though the result had been decided already with Piedmont running away with the three-goal win on the road and three points in the conference standings. 

Turning Point
--McCoy's score just 2:29 into the 2nd half broke a scoreless streak of 236 minutes for the Lady Lions who battled Maryville to a scoreless draw this past Wednesday.

Standout Performances
