WHAT'S UP NEXT:
- The home debut of Head Coach Jamie Purdy's 2026-27 squad as they enter Cave Arena with an unbeaten 3-0 record to host Texas Lutheran for a rare match-up with the Lone Star State foe with tip-off between the two set for 5:00 pm.  

TURNING POINT:
- Piedmont's 4th quarter as the Lions raced out to a 9-2 edge in the final period after pulling even with the hosting Petrels to end the 3rd despite trailing at the half against the in-state foe.  

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
- The game was the first of the season for Oglethorpe and the third for Piedmont who opened the season this past weekend with two games in Illinois, both victories.
- Tonight's contest featured nine lead changes and four ties which comes as no surprise when looking at the box score where the two teams were similar in most categories.

STANDOUT PERFORMANCES:
- Kylie Watkins made a statement with 29 points on 11-of-19 shooting including a pair of three's as the second-year player for Coach Purdy went 5-of-6 at the line as well. 
- Meghan Tucker scored 11 on 3-of-5 shooting while also going 5-of-6 at the line adding four rebounds and a trio of assists to her stat line.
- Alexandria Willis and Sage Smiley each pulled down a game-high seven rebounds as the pair accounted for more than half of Piedmont's boards as a team.

A GAME OF RUNS:
- Oglethorpe built its largest lead of the game with 9:16 to go in the third at 33-25 following a Marlie Battle layup, but Piedmont would proceed to go on a 10-1 run over the next four minutes seeing Meghan Tucker's layup at the 5:20 mark give them the lead.
