MACON, Ga. - The Piedmont women's basketball team won its fourth straight game with a 66-20 victory at Wesleyan on Tuesday night in Macon.

The Lady Lions dominated from start to finish in a contest that saw them lead 37-2 at the half and hold the Wolves scoreless for the entirety of the second quarter.

Much like last Thursday's win at Agnes Scott, Piedmont utilized a balanced scoring attack as it went deep into its bench. Overall, 13 different Lady Lions saw the court with 11 different players scoring.

For the second consecutive game, sophomore BENTLEY CRONIC led the team in scoring, this time pouring in 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting. COLBY REED was the only other player in double figures, delivering 10 points on four made field goals. KYRIAKI TAYLOR led the squad with 10 rebounds in a team-high 22 minutes.

Despite shooting only 31.8% from the field, Piedmont's stifling defense led to the easy win. The Lady Lions forced 49 Wesleyan turnovers and scored 35 points off those turnovers.

Piedmont trailed briefly to start the game as Wesleyan took a 2-0 lead. However, from there, it was a 41-0 run for the Lady Lions before the Wolves scored again early in the third quarter.

Up next, the Lady Lions will return home, hosting Covenant this Friday, Jan. 21 at 5:30 p.m. inside Cave Arena.
