Score: Piedmont 3 - Agnes Scott 0
Records:  PC 18-11 (9-6) , ASC 12-15 (4-11)
Location: Decatur, Georgia - Agnes Scott College

Decatur, GA - It was an offensive display for KATELYN DURMIRE and the Piedmont College volleyball team earlier Saturday as the Lady Lions swept Agnes Scott College on the road 3-0 in a regular season finale for both. 

With Agnes Scott's loss in the weekend match-up to Piedmont, Salem climbs into the #6 seed spot and will face the Lady Lions on Tuesday, November 1 at 5:00 pm in Maryville, Tennessee. 

Piedmont took the opening set 25-19 to take a lead before an impressive performance in the second set by the team and middle KATELYN DURMIRE who collected nine of her match-best 16 kills in the set to help PC take a 25-16 decision going up 2-0.

The third was a 25-18 winner for Piedmont who closed out their 6th straight sets win in conference on the 2016 season.  

Turning Point
--A dominant offensive performance in the second set as Piedmont hit .448 as a team to overtake the hosting Scotties.

Standout Performances
--KATELYN DURMIRE is the obvious choice in this category with 16 kills on just 21 attemps without an error for a .762 attack percentage.  
--HALEY HIXON and ANNA WRIGHT both had double-digit digs with Hixon's 17 that led the team and Wright piling on 10 to the cause. 

Inside the Box Score
--Nine of KATELYN DURMIRE's 16 kills came in the second set as part of an extremely strong performance on the attack that catapulted PC to the sweep. 
--Piedmont had 11 aces on the match, the 13th time that PC has posted double-digit aces in a single match.
