Piedmont Throttles Fisk 95-30 To Advance To GSAC Women's Basketball Semifinals

The Piedmont College women's basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the Great South Athletic Conference Tournament this afternoon in Montgomery, AL with a 95-30 pounding of Fisk University. The Lady Lions jumped out to a 44-10 halftime lead and never looked back en route to their seventh straight victory and 20th win of the season.

Piedmont's Stephanie Rainwater led four Lady Lions in double-figures with a team-high 15 points. Kayla Duncan and Sheena Trimiar added 14 and 12 respectively while Jammie Boyce pitched in with 10.

Piedmont forced 31 Fisk turnovers while holding the Lady Bulldogs to less than 30% from the field.

The win moves to Piedmont to 20-6 overall on the season and advances the second-seeded Lady Lions to the GSAC Tournament semifinals where they will take on third-seeded Agnes Scott College tomorrow at 1:00 CST.
