DEMOREST, Ga. - Piedmont volleyball rebounded from a 3-0 loss to Covenant to start the day with a thrilling fourth-set comeback to overtake LaGrange 3-1 in the evening in a CCS Tri-Match in Demorest Saturday.

Match One: Covenant 3, Piedmont 0 

Despite losing in straight sets, the Lions challenged throughout the match against the Scots. Piedmont kept it close in the opening set in a 25-18 loss. The second set was a tough one for the Lions dropping it 25-10, but Piedmont bounced back in the third set falling 25-16. 

Piedmont jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the opening set and held the lead 11-10 before the Scots jumped ahead. Covenant used a 9-2 run to lead 19-13 and hold control for the opening set. 

In the second, Piedmont was out of rotation early and fell behind 6-1 quickly. The Scots raced out to a 16-6 lead and did not let up. In the final set, Piedmont fell behind 8-4 but pulled back within two to trail 16-14. 

Match two: Piedmont 3, LaGrange 1

All four sets were competitive between the Lions and the Panthers, but Piedmont was able to close strong more often than not in the four-set win.

The first set saw the Lions reel off a 5-0 run trailing 19-18, highlighted by a pair of service aces from freshman Mary Brit Tallevast. Although LaGrange answered with two points of their own, it was too late as Piedmont finished off the set 25-21.

The second set was back-and-forth throughout, until Piedmont stunned the Panthers with a 5-0 run to take the set 25-20. Bryn White delivered a pair of kills in the scoring run to lift the Lions over the top.

While LaGrange responded with a dominant start to the third set, Piedmont was able to rally to make it close before falling 25-22.

Piedmont fell behind early in the fourth set, but were undeterred. Despite trailing 20-13, Piedmont won six straight points to cut the deficit to 20-19. Although the Panthers won two straight in response to make it 22-19, the Lions fought back again, winning four in a row to close out the match in four sets. 

The ending was punctuated by a kill from Tallevast to clinch the first home victory of the season for the Lions.
