Demorest, GA - In the first of three games out West, the Piedmont College women's lacrosse team earned a 13-6 win over the University of Puget Sound on Monday evening separating themselves from the home team with a 3-goal rush at the beginning of the 2nd half. 

MCKYNSEY DOUGLAS led the Lady Lions with her six goals on the evening including the first two of the contest that put the home team up 2-0 just over three minutes in.  An ALEXIS NARDUCCI score just 35 seconds after Douglas' second would make it 3-0 PC, but Puget Sound would cut into the lead with two straight of their own.
