Demorest, GA - The Piedmont College women's soccer team saw one of its veterans take over in Saturday's 3-1 win over Huntingdon College as junior MEGAN HATFIELD scored two goals and picked up an assist on the other for the win.

Hatfield converted a penalty kick awarded in the 11th minute to give Piedmont a 1-0 lead, but the Hawks fought back to score on a set piece as Hanna Cloud headed away her third goal of the season to make it 1-1 in the 28th minute.

However, Hatfield answered the goal with a brilliant cut and finish less than eight minutes later putting Piedmont up again.  Just three minutes after her score, Hatfield again broke free on the left and this time cut a ball back for freshman JAZMIN PENADO who finished near post to hand Piedmont a 3-1 lead before the half had finished. 

Neither team scored in the second as Piedmont went on to claim its 11th straight win to open the season, the best start in the program's history having outscored its opposition now 36 to 2.

--The three minute period that Piedmont scored the final two goals of the contest near the end of the first half with Hatfield and Penado getting one each.
