Demorest, GA - The Piedmont College women's lacrosse team fell to visiting Berry College earlier Friday afternoon 10-8 in a step out of conference play for the Lady Lions.

The contest was the final step out of league play for Piedmont as a road game at Huntingdon and a home contest with Greensboro is all that remains in the regular season.  

The loss for Piedmont was just the second loss at home over the last two seasons as PC was a perfect 7-0 at home in 2015.

Piedmont held a 6-3 lead at the half rallying from a 2-0 deficit with five straight goals in about a nine minute stretch in the first half.  However, the Lady Lions saw their three-goal lead at the break widdled away over the first 15:16 of the 2nd half as Berry tied it at seven with Kelsey McAnnally's score.

The home team responded with a MAGGIE MCDANIEL goal that gave the lead back to Piedmont less than 25 seconds later.  Berry tied it up at eight with 7:43 to go before pulling ahead on their ninth score less than a minute after McDaniel's go-ahead. 

An insurance score in the final 2:07 for Berry helped the Vikings salt away the victory as Piedmont dropped a home decision to the visitors by a pair, 10-8.
