NORFOLK, Va. - Piedmont women's soccer continued its dominant start to the 2025 season, rolling past Regent University 4-0 on a sunny and warm Saturday afternoon in Virginia.

With the win, Head Coach Timmy McCormack now has 100 in his coaching career in just his ninth season as a head coach.

After scoring 12 times in a season-opening rout of Trinity Washington Friday afternoon, the Lions wasted no time in jumping out to another multiple goal lead on Saturday, scoring twice in the first half and two more times in the second to pull away from the Royals.

Senior Savannah Jerome found the back of the net off a cross in the game's 23rd minute. Then, just 15 minutes later, sophomore Alison Witkiewicz scored the first of her two goals on the day, putting away a bouncing ball in the box to make it 2-0 Piedmont, which carried into halftime.

The 2-0 lead for the Lions was added on to just over 11 minutes into the second half. Off a Regent goal kick, Piedmont newcomer Adriana Blumer was able to deliver a quick takeaway and beat the goalkeeper low and left for her first goal in a Piedmont uniform.

However, the scoring did not stop there, as Witkiewicz added her second of the day by putting away a mad scramble in the box off a Piedmont corner.

Hannah Thompson and Maggie Leger each played a half in goal and kept the team's shutout streak alive to start the season with Leger making a single save.

Up next, the Lions are back in action tomorrow with a neutral site contest against former USA South foe Meredith in Rocky Mount, North Carolina at 2 p.m.

TURNING POINT:
- A pair of first half goals from the Lions were more than enough in the 4-0 win.

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
- Witkiewicz delivered her first career brace, scoring the team's second and fourth goals of the game.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
