Volleyball Team Remains Perfect At Home With Victory Over Oglethorpe

Despite trailing at least once in every game the Piedmont College volleyball team defeated visiting non-conference opponent Oglethorpe University this evening in straight sets 30-26, 30-25 and 30-26 in PC's Johnny Mize Athletic Center. Freshman Nikki Cole reached double-figure kills for the fourth time this season and led her teammates with 14 kills.

Jacque DeMarrais chipped in with 12 kills of her own and setter B.J. Ostrzycki tallied 42 assists improving her season average to 30 assists per match. On the defensive end libero Jill Sparger and Mandi Harmon combined for 16 digs.

The resilient Lady Lions improve to 9-4 overall this season and dropped OU to 3-8. The win improves PC to a perfect 2-0 at home this season and matches the biggest winning streak of the year at three matches.

The women will return to the court on Saturday, September 30th as they travel to LaGrange, GA for a Great South Athletic Conference weekend. The Lady Lions will face LaGrange College and Huntingdon College on Saturday before squaring off against Spelman College on Sunday.
