BREVARD, N.C. – The Piedmont College women's basketball team won its eighth-straight game on Wednesday, rolling to a 76-48 road victory at Brevard.
 
Senior guard AMARI PRICE tallied just four points but added eight assists, seven steals and six rebounds. Price's eight assists give her 434 for her career, the most in program history. 
 
The Lady Lions (16-8, 12-3 USA South) jumped out to a big lead early and never looked back in their final road game of the regular season.
 
KYLA MICHIENZI scored 14 points in the first half alone on her way to a career-high 17 points for the game. Reigning USA South Rookie of the Week NAKIYAH WASHINGTON led all scorers with 20 points in just 20 minutes of action, making 8-of-10 from the free throw line.
 
Piedmont never trailed in the contest as BRITTANY WALKER scored the team's first five points of the game. The Lady Lions were already up by double digits just over five minutes into the contest after back-to-back three-pointers from Michienzi and EMILY WILEY. 
 
From there, the intensity did not drop in the second quarter as PC led by as many as 26 points and took a 45-20 lead into halftime. Overall, the Lady Lions held the Tornados (7-15, 4-11 USA South) to just 23 percent shooting in the first half and knocked down 12-of-16 from the free throw line to remove all doubt from the outcome early.
 
The Lady Lions led by 28 points early in the third quarter before Brevard used an 11-0 run to cut its deficit under 20 points. However, Washington scored PC's final five points of the quarter to increase the margin to 57-35 heading into the final 10 minutes.
 
Piedmont cruised through the fourth, leading by as many as 30 points to take its eighth consecutive game heading into its regular season finale.
 
Up next, the Lady Lions will battle Huntingdon on Senior Day this Saturday at 2 p.m.
