PC Women's Basketball Team Earns Share Of GSAC Regular-Season Championship

By going 10-2 in conference play this season the Piedmont College women's basketball team has earned a share of the Great South Athletic Conference regular-season championship. The Lady Lions and Maryville College both went 10-2 in conference action and split a pair of games against each other to earn a share of the league's regular-season title.

For seeding purposes in the upcoming GSAC tournament PC was awarded the top-seed based upon their 2-0 record against #3 seeded Agnes Scott. The Lady Lions will take on sixth-seeded LaGrange College on Friday, February 21st in the semifinals. Piedmont currently stands at 16-7 overall.

The regular-season co-championship marks the fourth title in the last five years for the women's basketball team. The team's lone GSAC Tournament championship came back in the 2001-02 season.

This year's GSAC Tournament champion earns the league's first-ever automatic berth into the 2007 NCAA Division-III National Championship Tournament.
