Piedmont Earns 76-68 Road Win At NAIA Flagler

Nikki Sosebee recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds to lead Piedmont College to a 76-68 non-conference win over host Flagler College in a women’s basketball game Sunday afternoon at Flagler Gym in St. Augustine, FL.

Sheena Trimiar added 14 points and seven rebounds while Kayla Duncan chipped in with 13 points, six assists and five rebounds coming off the bench for Piedmont. Beth Adcock tallied 10 points and five rebounds for the Lady Lions.

Piedmont ran out to a 27-12 lead and led by as many as 16 in the opening half. The Lady Lions forced nine turnovers and converted them into 15 points. Piedmont went into the break with a 38-25 lead.

Stephanie Rainwater’s 3-pointer with 17:38 left in regulation gave the Lady Lions their biggest lead, 45-27, but the Lady Saints rallied back. Flagler went on a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to 11 after an Alicia Ramsdell layup, and then converted the three-point play on her free throw. Piedmont countered with a 10-4 run to push the lead back to 17.

The Lady Saints made another valiant run at the end, going on a 13-6 run to cut the gap to just nine points with just over five minutes to go. That would be a close as Flagler could until Ramsdell hit a running jumper with 14 seconds left for the final score of 76-68.

The victory sends the Lady Lions into the Christmas break with a 6-3 overall record. Piedmont will return to action on January 4th when the Lady Lions travel to Atlanta, GA to take on Great South Athletic Conference foe Spelman College.
