Demorest, GA - The Ferrum College Panthers kept it close in the opening minutes, but the Piedmont College women's lacrosse team swiftly took control with 11 straight to end the 1st in a 16-4 win on Saturday.

The Lady Lions used the streak to take a commanding 13-2 lead into the halftime break with the Panthers struggling to find answers for the multi-faceted attack of the Green and Gold.  

Piedmont scored the first of those 11 straight just 15 seconds after Ferrum scored their second goal of the contest that tied it at two each.  Nine different players scored for Piedmont in the contest led by MCKYNSEY DOUGLAS' four which led all scorers and equaled the offensive out for Ferrum as a team on the day.

Douglas also collected a pair of assists in the win with KAYLA JONES leading in that category earning three helpers on the day.  

The most dominant performance likely came on the draw for Piedmont where the Lady Lions won 21 of the 22 in the game with CAHNER MANNS leading the way with 10.
