Piedmont 91, LaGrange 86

LAGRANGE, Ga. — Visiting Piedmont College built a large second half lead and then held on for a 91-86 GSAC win over LaGrange on Wednesday night at Mariotti Gymnasium.

The loss dropped the Panthers to 5-11 overall and 0-3 in conference play. Piedmont upped its record to 8-4 in its first conference game of the season.

The Panthers were paced by Corie Jackson's game-high 19 points. The senior guard was 4-for-7 from three-point range. Demetris Render added 17 and Travis Moore had a season-high 15 points. The Lions placed five players in double figures. Jake Green and Brent Walker each had 16 points.

The Panthers jumped out to a 13-5 lead in the early going. Piedmont came back and led by as many as 10 points before taking a 48-42 halftime lead.

The Panthers tied the game at 56 on a jumper by Antoine Maddox five minutes into the second half. Leading 69-67, the Lions went on a 15-0 run to build a commanding lead with six minutes remaining in the game.

The Panthers chipped away at the lead. They got as close as three, 89-86, on a basket by Moore with nine seconds remaining. But Green closed out the scoring for the Lions with a pair of free throws for the 91-86 final.
