Demorest, GA -- On a brisk evening at Walker Field with the senior class being recognized the Piedmont College women's soccer team defeated visiting Great South Athletic Conference member Agnes Scott College by the score of 2-1 in double overtime. The Lady Lions have now clinched the #2 seed in the upcoming GSAC Tournament while the Scotties will finish as the #3 seed.

Justine Clay hit a long-distance goal into the back of the net off a pass from
Alex Bylo at the 14th minute. The lead was short lived as the Scotties found the equalizer just 12 minutes later.
The score would remain tied for the remainder or regulation sending the match into overtime. In the closing minutes of the first frame the Lady Lions appeared to win the match but the would be game-winner was waved off due to an offsides call.
