Lady Lions down Lady Saints, 76-68
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Nikki Sosebee recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds to lead Piedmont College of Demorest, Ga., to a 76-68 win over Flagler College in a non-conference women’s basketball game Sunday afternoon at Flagler Gym.

Sheena Trimiar added 14 points and seven rebounds while Kayla Duncan chipped in with 13 points, six assists and five rebounds coming off the bench for Piedmont (6-3). Beth Adcock tallied 10 points and five rebounds for the Lady Lions.

Piedmont, an NCAA Division III school, ran out to a 27-12 lead and led by as many as 16 in the opening half. The Lady Lions forced nine turnovers and converted them into 15 points. Piedmont went into the break with a 38-25 lead.

Stephanie Rainwater’s 3-pointer with 17:38 left in regulation gave the Lady Lions their biggest lead, 45-27, but the Lady Saints rallied back. Flagler went on a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to 11 after an Alicia Ramsdell (Wells, Maine/Wells HS) layup, and then converted the three-point play on her free throw. Piedmont countered with a 10-4 run to push the lead back to 17.

The Lady Saints made another valiant run at the end, going on a 13-6 run to cut the gap to just nine points with just over five minutes to go. That would be a close as Flagler could until Ramsdell hit a running jumper with 14 seconds left for the final score of 76-68.  

Brittney Garmon (St. Augustine, Fla./St. Augustine HS) poured in a game-high 21 points and 12 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season for Flagler (5-6). Garmon scored 11 of her 21 points from the free throw line. Jamie Allenbaugh (Pittsburgh, Pa./West Virginia Wesleyan College) added 17 points and nine rebounds for the Lady Saints. Meaggen Anderson (Inverness, Fla./Citrus HS) 10 points, eight of which came in the first half.

Flagler will break for the holidays and return to action on Jan. 2 at Georgia Southwestern University in Americus at 6 p.m. The Lady Saints return home the next day and host Brewton-Parker College at 3 p.m. Piedmont will also break for the holiday and will visit Spelman College in Atlanta on Jan. 4 at 6 p.m.
