ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. - Piedmont women's lacrosse continued its domination of the USA South schedule, cruising to a 22-0 win at N.C. Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

The junior from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina also dished out a pair of assists to lead the way with nine points. Clara Welch continued to improve, working her way back into form with a season-high in goals for the second straight game, adding four to go with an assist. Senior Laura Crone was outstanding as well, with four goals and a pair of assists.

Newcomer Reagan Martinez delivered a season-best two goals and added an assist.

Limehouse made her presence felt early, delivering a hat trick in the first quarter alone, scoring three of the team's first five goals. Carson Bezold was active early on the offensive side, with five of her career-high eight assists coming in the opening quarter plus four minutes of the second quarter.
