Macon, GA -  It was another shutout of the Wolves of Wesleyan College for the Piedmont College women's soccer team as the Lady Lions took home a 4-0 win in USA South women's soccer action earlier Saturday afternoon.

Up 2-0 at the half, Piedmont would get another in the 74th when SAVANNAH CASTLES scored to make it 3-0 as the Lady Lions poured it on offensively with 40 total shots and six corners while the home team only managed a single shot.

The final goal of the day came on a penalty kick with about five minutes remaining as COURTNEY BELL coverted the opportunity to give Piedmont the 4-0 final on the road.
