DEMOREST, Ga. – Piedmont University outscored the Scotties 48-20 in the first half and cruised to a 91-39 victory at home this evening inside Cave Arena. With the loss, moves the Scotties to 1-19 overall (1-12 USA South). 

The tone for the game was set early, when Piedmont bolted to a 21-11 lead to end the first quarter. Agnes Scott had one of its slowest halves of the season, connecting on only 1 of 6 shots (16.7%) and scoring only nine points in the second quarter.

YaMea Elliot-Allen contributed six points each for the Scotties in the loss.
