BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Piedmont men's lacrosse team fell behind early and dropped a road contest at Birmingham-Southern, 13-7, on Friday night.
 
The Lions trailed at the end of each period as the Panthers gradually increased their lead throughout the evening.
 
Goalie ZACH CZULADA delivered a valiant effort in defeat. The program's all-time leader in saves made 16 on Friday night. Fellow senior BRADY JENKS was the only Lion with multiple goals, scoring twice.
 
Piedmont was able to strike first as junior transfer PHILLIP WATTERS found the back of the net not even two minutes into the contest. However, the Panthers immediately answered with a pair of goals to jump in front. PC's AVERY JENKS then tied the score with his only goal of the night minutes later.
 
Unfortunately, BSC scored the next three goals and took control in the second and third quarter as PC was never able to tie the score again.
 
Piedmont was able to score just three times in the second half as the Panthers continued to extend their lead.
 
Up next, the Lions will have one final nonconference tune up before opening up USA South play, taking on Transylvania on the road next Friday, March 14 at 1 p.m.
