DEMOREST, Ga. – The Piedmont College women's basketball team took down the Wolves of Wesleyan College scoring early and often to take the home contest 75-31. The Piedmont defense held the Wolves to their lowest point total of the season as the Lady Lions moved to 13-3 overall and 5-2 in league play. 

Piedmont took a 7-2 lead four minutes into the game on a CARLIE SHIELDS 3-pointer, but the Wolves came back to knot it up at seven all after PC went cold from the floor with a 3:30 scoreless stretch. The Lady Lions would leave no doubt though to close out the first period with a 12-0 run including a pair of 3's by BRIDGETTE KELLY and Shields. 

With a 19-7 lead to start the second, it was once again a dry spell from the floor as Piedmont scored just once before the 5:03 mark when BRITTANY WALKER made a layup. That sparked the PC offensive attack as the Lady Lions scored eight to end the quarter and took a 32-15 lead to the half. 

The third quarter was once again where the Piedmont offense showed out as the Lady Lions put up 25 points to the Wolves' 10. Walker, who led all scorers with 11 points, put up seven of hers in the fourth quarter as Piedmont outscored the Wolves 43-16 in the second half.
