Women's Basketball Team Rebounds With 80-69 Victory Over Ferrum

The Piedmont College women's basketball team rebounded to earn a split in the InnKeeper Turkey Shootout at Methodist University this afternoon with an 80-69 non-conference victory over Ferrum College. Nikki Sosebee led three Lady Lions in double-figures with a team-high 17 points.

Piedmont jumed out early and held a 15-point advantage (45-30) at intermission. FC would rally and cut into the lead but Piedmont would ice its second victory of the season by shooting 18-24 from the free throw line.

Sheena Trimiar added 14 points and four steals while Yetta Bailey contributed with 10 points and six rebounds. Sarah Lane came off the bench to add nine points and eight rebounds.

For her efforts, Trimiar was voted to the All-Tournament team.

The victory moves Piedmont to 2-3 overall on the season. The team will return to action on Wednesday, November 29 at home versus Wesleyan College in the team's Great South Athletic Conference opener.
