DEMOREST, Ga. – On Tuesday night inside Cave Arena, Piedmont Athletics was awarded the Overall and women’s Commissioner’s Cups following the third year of competition in the Collegiate Conference of the South.
The Lions delivered a clean sweep of the three cups in the inaugural year of 2022-23 and have been awarded two out of three cups in the past two seasons. They have earned at least a share of the overall cup in al three seasons and have won the men’s and women’s cup in two out of three seasons.
“Earning both the overall Commissioner’s Cup and the Women’s Cup is a reflection of the hard work and consistency shown across our entire department. Our student-athletes continue to maintain our high standards and our coaches and staff support them with a strong commitment to growth and excellence in competition and the classroom.”
Jamie Purdy, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
