DEMOREST, Ga. - Piedmont women's lacrosse took home another dominant win, rolling past Huntingdon 24-1 on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon in Demorest.
Sophomore
Savannah Limehouse delivered a career-high nine points, with her final assist giving her 100 career points in not even two full seasons with the Lions. After scoring seven times in Saturday's win at Pfeiffer, she now has 13 goals over her past two games.
However, it was
Laura Crone who led the team in total points, with 10 on five goals and five assists. Her five goals and 10 points each marked career highs for the junior. All-time career assist leader
Aly Reece paced the team with six assists on the evening while fellow senior
Merryn Bumpass marked the fourth Lion to deliver a hat trick, scoring three times while dishing out three assists and also leading the team with three caused turnovers.
Piedmont left no doubt from the start, scoring three times within the first two minutes and six times in the first five minutes to race out ahead of the Hawks.
Limehouse's third goal of the game, which came at the 4:22 mark of the first quarter, made it 10-0 Piedmont and moved the contest to a running clock, which is where it stayed the rest of the way. Her fourth and fifth goals of the game made it 16-0 in favor of the Lions going to halftime.
With the game in hand, Piedmont slowed the pace in the second half, ending up with a 24-1 final margin.
