DEMOREST, Ga. - The Piedmont volleyball team opened its home slate on Friday night at Cave Arena, falling in four sets to Florida College.

Piedmont jumped out to an early lead in the first set with a 5-3 edge. However, the Falcons rallied with four straight points to take a 7-5 lead and they never trailed the rest of the set.

However, from there, it was all Falcons, who never trailed in the deciding fourth set, rolling to a 25-14 victory and a four-set match win.

Up next, the Lady Lions will travel to Toccoa Falls tomorrow at 6 p.m.
