WSSU HISTORY Winston-Salem State University was founded as the Slater Industrial Academy on September 28, 1892. It began in a one-room frame structure with 25 pupils and one teacher. In 1895, the school was recognized by the state of North Carolina, and in 1897, it was chartered by the Slater Industrial and State Normal School. From the beginning, the school has insisted upon the vital importance of elementary school teachers in building an improved citizenship. Emphasis has, therefore, constantly been placed upon the quality and quantity of training for these teachers. In 1925, the General Assembly of North Carolina recognized the school’s leadership in this field and granted the school a new charter, extending its curriculum above high school. The school changed its name to Winston-Salem Teachers College and empowered it, under the authority of the State Board of Education, to confer appropriate degrees. Winston-Salem Teachers College thus became the first Negro institution in the nation to grant degrees for teaching in the elementary grades. The Nursing School was established in 1953, awarding graduates the degree of Bachelor of Science. The basic nursing program covers four years of study with equal emphasis on academic and professional education. In 1957, the North Carolina General Assembly revised the charter of the college and authorized the expansion of the curriculum to include secondary education and any other specific types of training as directed and determined by the State Board of Higher Education. The North Carolina General Assembly of 1963 authorized the changing of the name of Winston-Teachers College to Winston-Salem State College. A statute designating Winston-Salem Teachers College as Winston-Salem State University received legislative approval in 1969. On October 30, 1971, the General Assembly reorganized higher education in North Carolina, and on July 1, 1972, Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) became one of 16 constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina, subject to the control of the Board of Governors. Winston-Salem State University is located on 117 acres in WinstonSalem, Forsyth County, North Carolina, a city of over 190,000 residents. This thriving Twin City is part of the Piedmont Triad, which encompasses the neighboring cities of Greensboro and High Point. The Triad is one of the most heavily populated and fastest growing metropolitan areas between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta, GA (U.S. Census Statistical Information). Winston-Salem State University rapidly is changing its “well-kept secret” status. The University has been ranked by U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Colleges and Universities” publication as one of the best public liberal arts colleges in the south for the last six years. WSSU is perhaps best defined by part of the University’s mission statement which reads: “Excellent academic programs with a strong liberal arts foundation will be offered within a learning culture which exemplifies excellence in teaching and scholarship; emphasizes faculty-student interaction; promotes lifelong learning; and prepares individuals for leadership and service in the global society.”

The present day Winston-Salem State University has come a long way from its humble beginnings as Slater Industrial Academy in 1892. WSSU now enrolls nearly 6,000 students, offers bachelor’s degrees in 43 academic majors, master’s degrees in 12 degree programs, and employs nearly 250 full-time faculty and 400 staff members. It is accredited by the Commission on College of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. WSSU has a diverse student population with increasing enrollment of non-traditional and part-time students. On March 5, 1998, the University’s “Strategic Framework for Change” was unveiled to the Board of Trustees and the Winston-Salem community. The document provides the context for transforming today’s Winston-Salem State University into one of the region’s finest public undergraduate institutions. Nursing at Winston-Salem State University offers a global health curriculum and international student and faculty exchange. Gottenburg’s University in Sweden, the Nightingale Institute at King’s College in London, the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland, Waterford Regional Technical College in Southern Ireland, and WSSU are all partners in this exciting venture. The pass rate for Winston-Salem State University nursing graduates on the state board examination is above 90 percent, one of the highest in the state of North Carolina and the highest among historically black colleges and universities nationally. During the summer of 1997, a team of scientists and students were lauded for the early detection of breast cancer. The project is conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Helsinki in Finland. WSSU also leverages partnerships with Duke University, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and National University of Singapore to expand research opportunities and curricula for students and faculty. WSSU’s GAMMA Center for computer graphics, animation and multimedia applications recently received national recognition in the 1998 edition of Animation Magazine’s Guide to Schools and Recruitment. In the 1990’s, Fortune 500 corporations increasingly recruited business, economics, and accounting graduates. Recently, the University’s student chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants was recognized in the national competition at the Association’s annual meeting. Sport Management at WSSU is one of the top undergraduate programs of its kind in the country and is seeking wider accreditation by the North American Society for Sport Management and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. Therapeutic Recreation and Physical Education for Mature Adults at WSSU and across the nation are among the fastest growing health-related curricula. Only a handful of colleges and universities offer bachelors degrees in these disciplines, and even fewer are accredited by related professional organizations. Winston-Salem State’s Digg’s Gallery is a cultural meeting place where art is the common language for a wide range of campus and community discussions. Founded by James Gordon Haines in 1990, the gallery is committed to exhibiting African and African-American visual arts and is highly regarded by the art community as one of the area’s premiere galleries. Winston-Salem State University students, faculty, and administrators truly embody the University motto…”Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve.”

Chancellor Dr. Donald J. Reaves onald Julian Reaves was elected Chancellor of Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), in February 2007, by the Board of Governors of the 16-campus University of North Carolina System, and assumed his duties as Chancellor on August 16, 2007. Prior to his election as Chancellor at WSSU, he had served as Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer at the University of Chicago and Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer at Brown University. In his role as vice president and CFO, Dr. Reaves had primary oversight of the University of Chicago’s fiscal and administrative operations. Key areas of responsibility included budgeting, human resources, capital planning and facilities services, construction, risk management, and fiscal and strategic planning. Dr. Reaves also supported five committees of the university’s Board of Trustees. Dr. Reaves’ 14-year tenure at Brown University in Providence, RI, included leadership positions as Assistant Vice President and University Budget Director, Vice President for Finance, and Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer.

After completing his master’s degree (1978) and a doctoral degree (1981), both in political science and public administration at Kent State University, he accepted a tenure-track faculty position at Northeastern University in Boston. Although Dr. Reaves soon joined the Massachusetts Department of Public Welfare (1984-88), rising to Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Budget and Cost Control, he continued to teach as an adjunct professor in Northeastern’s Graduate School of Arts and Science until 1993. Active in professional and higher-education organizations, Dr. Reaves is a former chair of the Roxbury (Boston, MA) Community College Board of Trustees and a former vice chair of the Tougaloo (MS) College Board of Trustees.

WSSU and the NAIA WSSU’s History With The NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics)

Prior to the Rams’ 61 years of membership in the CIAA, Winston-Salem State University excelled in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NAIA held national championships starting in 1937 at City Municipal Auditorium. However, the Rams, and all Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) were not admitted to the NAIA until 1953. The Rams played versus NAIA competition in the days prior to their involvement, but were not a recognized member of the NAIA during that period. WSSU joined the CIAA in 1945 as a charter member and as a member of NCAA Division II (previously the small college/university division). The Rams continued their membership in the CIAA and Division II until 1953 when all HBCUs (regardless of locale) were placed in District 29 of the NAIA. The Rams continued (as did most schools) as members of both the NCAA and the NAIA. The 16-year old NAIA allowed for dual membership as both an NAIA school and an NCAA school, a distinction that the Rams kept until 1983 when they ceased their membership in the NAIA and became solely a member of the NCAA (Division II). During the 30-year NAIA membership, the Rams captured six NAIA District 29 men’s basketball titles and as a result participated in the NAIA National Championship Tournament. The Rams won District 29 titles in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1975 and 1978. During those six appearances, the Rams won nine games and lost six for a winning percentage of .600. WSSU never advanced past the quarterfinal round of the tournament and never placed in the top four in any of their six years of participation. However, the Rams did capture the #1 seed in the 1978 season before being upset by Kearney State in the quarterfinals (89-76).

lthough Winston-Salem was incorporated by merger in 1913, the community dates back to 1716, when members of the Moravian Church established Salem as the congregational town Wachovia acquired for the use of its settlers. The Moravians’ vision of creating a self-sufficient community made Salem a haven for entrepreneurs. Within a few years, the town included a pottery, tannery, brickyard, flour mill, bakery, slaughterhouse, brewery, iron works, and cloth and furniture makers. Salem’s manufacturing prowess gave it a prominent role as a supplier during the American Revolution and the Civil War. The city of Winston was founded immediately north of Salem to serve as the county seat when Forsyth County was chartered in 1849. The years after the Civil War catapulted the city to national prominence as a manufacturing center. The rise is often dated to the arrival of R.J. Reynolds in 1874. Reynolds was attracted by the quality of tobacco the area produced, but he wasn’t the only one; Brothers P.H. and J.W. Hanes had the largest tobacco factory in town and in all there were 15 tobacco factories by 1878. Later, the Hanes brothers would sell their tobacco company and start a dry goods (clothing) business, and Reynolds became the largest tobacco company in the United States. The success of these industries, and of the companies that supplied them, brought wealth to the community that fueled the startup of other successful businesses such as Piedmont Airlines, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, T.W. Garner Food Co. (makers of Texas Pete hot sauce), and Goody’s headache powders. Winston-Salem’s manufacturing base ensured a healthy banking industry; with deregulation, financial services have become an important component of the local economy. Today, Winston-Salem is home to BB&T making the city the eleventh largest banking center in the United States. Concurrent with the rise of banking in the 1980s and ‘90s, the medicine and health care industries grew. Novant Health and the Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital Medical Center each operate 800-bed regional medical centers that are the flagships for large, diversified medical services corporations. The rise of medicine also has spurred the city’s growth as a technology center. The Piedmont Triad Research Park, located in downtown, is home to 20 companies, including four biomedical companies spun out of research at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Under the leadership of former WSSU Chancellor Dr. Harold L. Martin, Sr., Winston-Salem State University has made a large contribution and commitment to research in the PTRP. Winston-Salem has long been a leader in promoting the arts. The first arts council in the United States was incorporated here in 1949; currently the city ranks first nationally in per capita giving to the arts. Winston-Salem is home to the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), and the National Black Theater Festival.

All internal and external advertising (newspaper, periodicals, direct mail, flyers, posters, CD’s, videos, billboards, website, television, radio, etc.) must be coordinated through the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations where the Sports Information staff and Athletic Marketing Team will integrate marketing efforts with the look and feel of the university’s institutional identity. The WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations, in cooperation with the Athletic Marketing Team and the WSSU Office of Marketing and Communications reserves the right to be the sole judge of appropriate and inappropriate advertising. Every publication that is produced by constituents of the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations should use the following brand promises and brand attributes as filters for their work. The WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations is intent on reflecting these attributes through the choice of visuals and verbiage in all WSSU Department of Athletics communications. Visual Consistency: The intent of the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations is to encourage a consistent visual look in the use of Winston-Salem State University’s name, not to make every publication look the same. These guidelines apply to print, electronic and Internet communications. Consistent and repetitive use of visual images will unify and strengthen the University’s identity and image. Units involved in public outreach (WSSU Department of Athletics) and/or funded through Winston-Salem State University and the State of North Carolina system (receiving state funds) and not legally autonomous (such as the WSSU Red and White/Amon’s Booster Club) must follow these standards. Should individual concerns arise, please contact the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations at (336) 750-2143 or (336) 750-2909.

When creating publications and web pages, it’s necessary to use the approved logos of the Winston-Salem State University Office of Athletic Media Relations (in cooperation with the WSSU Office of Marketing and Communications).

All publications with a WSSU return address and postage-paid selfmailer must feature the word mark as part of the return address. WSSU Publication Credits: For all publications sponsored by the University, a credit must be printed that says either “A publication of Winston-Salem State University” or “A publication of the WSSU Department of Athletics.” Typeface restrictions do not apply to the credit as consideration is given to the necessity to match the theme and typeface of individual publications. Publication Colors: Different colors other than the standard WSSU scarlet and white (PMS 199 and White) can be used in publications but to avoid confusion with other universities please avoid using their combination of colors. For example, use of Carolina Blue and White in a publication is discouraged as the colors can easily be confused with a publication of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

The quality of the WSSU Department of Athletics publications and website reflects the quality of WSSU as an institution. It’s important that all of WSSU’s publications appear to be part of the same family. This does not mean that every piece looks alike. It does mean that a common element (word mark), theme or color ties together all of our pieces.

WSSU Sports Medicine

Winston-Salem State University Sports Medicine All Winston-Salem State University student-athletes receive first-class care from the WSSU Sports Medicine staff which is comprised of a team of certified athletic trainers, family practice physicians, orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine consultants, and a group of undergraduate students who are completing clinical experiences in the Department of Human Performance and Sport Sciences. The Sports Medicine program at WSSU is closely associated with the WFU Baptist Medical Center Department of Sports Medicine. As a result, all injured student-athletes at WSSU receive immediate attention from physicians with the highest credentials. The Winston-Salem State University Sports Medicine philosophy is two-fold: to assist in preventing injuries through effective seasonal and research-oriented programs, and to facilitate an aggressive post-injury total-body rehabilitation program for a timely return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate total well-being of each student-athlete is the top priority. WSSU’s aggressive and functional approach encompasses a wide array of Sports Medicine consultants. Several rehabilitation programs may include osteopathic manual medicine, exercise physiology, nutrition, biomechanical evaluations, sports psychiatry, massage therapy and orthopedic surgeons. The WSSU Sports Medicine staff is comprised of certified athletic trainer and Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner, M.Ed., ATC, LAT, Dr. Cristin Ferguson, MD, team orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Daryl Rosenbaum, MD, family medicine, and Dr. Heath Thornton, MD, family medicine. “The most important aspect of the Sports Medicine program is the athletes.

Ketchum, with the cooperation of WSSU Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner M.Ed., ATC have implemented a strength and conditioning program that challenges each and every player to the utmost. It is the goal of Ketchum and Turner to help each student-athlete at WSSU maximize their athletic potential while adding speed, strength, and size. Under the direction of both Ketchum and Turner, the WSSU Strength and Conditioning program has adopted an aggressive attitude in making a commitment to winning. This commitment applies to the team’s efforts on the fields and courts of play and to the teams’ hard work and dedication in the weight room. To fulfill this commitment, Winston-Salem State University has completely remodeled its athletes-only Whitaker Strength and Conditioning facility. Inside the 3,800 square foot facility there are nine workstations that each include a power rack, Olympic lifting platform, squat stand, bumper and a complete weight tree. As well, the facility houses two complete sets of dumbbells from 10-125 pounds, a 0-90 degree utility bench, chin-up bars and a dip rack.

WSSU Division I Classification

he Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics continues into the third year of a five-year transition to the NCAA Division I level in 2007-08 and will enter into the first year of membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).

Legendary WSSU Coach, the late Clarence “Big House” Gaines addresses the crowd on July 7, 2004 when the Rams announced their intent to move to NCAA Division I.

In a drive to support rapid growth and attain higher visibility, the Board of Trustees at WinstonSalem State University (WSSU) approved a plan to seek reclassification of the school’s athletic programs to compete at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level. WSSU, formerly a member of NCAA Division II, submitted an application to the NCAA seeking the change in classification on December 1 of 2004 as required by the athletic association’s bylaws. This step formally started a five-year process that culminates with WSSU teams and athletes gaining eligibility to compete for all Division I championships during the 2009-10 seasons. “Moving up to NCAA Division I advances our university’s strategic plan and will offer our talented student-athletes even more challenging competition,” said Harold L. Martin, Sr., WSSU’s former chancellor (and acting chancellor at the time of the announcement). “Specifically, competing on a bigger stage will elevate awareness of WSSU and our reputation for excellence regionally and nationally, while creating opportunities to generate even more revenue from our athletic programs.” In recent years, WSSU’s population has grown by 15 to 20 percent annually and now numbers nearly 6,000 students. This figure is expected to top 7,500 students by 2010. Reclassifying the university’s athletic programs is consistent with this emerging position as a much larger and nationally recognized institution, according to Martin. The university remained a member of NCAA Division II through the 2005-06 seasons while beginning the reclassification process. During this period, WSSU maintained its status as a full member of the Central Collegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), subject to agreement with conference officials and member institutions before moving to the MidEastern Athletic Conference during the second year of the transition. Investments in New Facilities, Sports, Scholarships, and Coaches

WSSU Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell, has been instrumental in helping to ready the Rams for the move to Division I.

The reclassification plan approved by WSSU’s Board of Trustees calls for substantial investment in, and expansion of, athletic facilities, programs, and staff; actions necessary to comply with NCAA rules for Division I members. Specific plan elements include: • Spending $4 million over a five-year period to improve and upgrade athletic facilities; an additional $6.7 million to renovate the CE Gaines Center could be allocated through the university’s capital plan, which would expand total facilities investments to $10.7 million. • Adding six new sports, which will include: men’s and women’s indoor (added in 2005-06) and outdoor track & field (added in 2006-07) teams, baseball (2009), and women’s golf (2010).

• Increasing funds available for athletic scholarships by four-fold to $1.6 million during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic years; these investments will enable WSSU to comply with NCAA Division I guidelines by granting the equivalent of at least 50 full-time athletic scholarships beyond those awarded for football and men’s and women’s basketball. • Expanding the Athletic Department staff by 15, including nine full-time and six part-time positions; new hires will include both coaches and administrative personnel. “All Voices Heard” Board approval of the plan completed an exhaustive review and planning process that began in April 2003. Two task forces chaired by Dr. Percy “Chico” Caldwell, WSSU’s Director of Athletics, evaluated all aspects of the university’s athletics programs, including facilities, budgets, conference affiliation and level of competition, as well as the feasibility of and preparedness for advancement to NCAA Division I competition. Next, they developed recommendations that defined that plan. The broad-based committees included WSSU studentathletes, students, alumni and administrators, as well as renowned intercollegiate athletic officials, local business leaders, and Winston-Salem city government officials. “Successfully achieving NCAA Division I status, and then competitive excellence at this high level, will require passionate support from everyone in the WSSU family and our local community,” Caldwell explained. “We begin reclassification with confidence, knowing that voices of all WSSU stakeholders have been heard, and that our plan addresses their aspirations, needs, and concerns.” Five-Year Process After submitting its formal application to the NCAA, WSSU entered into an “exploratory period” that spanned the 2005-06 academic calendar and athletic seasons. In this phase, the university continued to evaluate progress toward compliance with Division I requirements while retaining an option to end the process and remain a Division II member. Following completion of the exploratory phase in 2006, WSSU demonstrated compliance with NCAA Division I guidelines for academic admissions standards, number of sports programs, gender equity, and financial aid. The school also submitted a strategic plan which they must update in the three successive years. In 2009-10, the fifth and final year of the process, WSSU will host a certification visit by NCAA officials and begin full participation in all Division I championships including men’s and women’s basketball.

he Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) will expand its membership to 12 members this year, as the league voted to admit Winston-Salem State University into the league beginning in 2007-08 academic year. “We are elated to welcome Winston-Salem State into the MEAC family”, said Commissioner Thomas. Obviously we think that WSSU is an outstanding academic institution with an excellent athletics program.” Winston-Salem is in the third year of its reclassification from Division II to NCAA Division I status. WSSU will begin a full MEAC schedule in all sports beginning this season (2007-08). However they will not be eligible for MEAC Championship play until 2010-11. Winston-Salem Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell, explained how the move to the MEAC is one of several steps the institution is making in their transition to the next level. “First of all, as we prepared for the years ahead, and the move to Division I, one of the keys to the puzzle was membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference,” said Dr. Caldwell. “We felt that the opportunity to be a member of the MEAC would afford us a way of rekindling several of our longstanding rivalries and establishing others, and we are happy and pleased that the vote has gone in our favor and we look forward to our future competition in the MEAC. The addition of Winston-Salem State marks the first expansion for the MEAC since 1997, when Norfolk State University became the 11th member of the league (Hampton University joined in 1995). WSSU becomes the second MEAC institution located in the state of North Carolina and the third in the Carolinas, joining North Carolina A&T State University (Greensboro) and South Carolina State (Orangeburg). “Our goal is to become a strong and viable member of the MEAC in order to represent well within the conference, both regionally and nationally,” Dr. Caldwell added. “We truly believe that the MEAC is value-added to the direction of both WSSU and the WSSU Department of Athletics. Everyone here at WSSU, our alumni and supporters are truly excited about this opportunity.” About the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) The MEAC is a Division I conference comprised of 12 historically black colleges and universities located across the Atlantic coastline. The league, established in 1970, is located in the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Virginia in the Armada Hoffler Tower.

OVERVIEW The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, an NCAA Division I Conference, is in its 38th year of operation heading into the 2007-2008 academic school year. Housed in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Virginia, the MEAC is currently made up of 12 (with the addition of WSSU in 2007-08) outstanding, historically black institutions across the Atlantic Coastline: Bethune-Cookman College, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, South Carolina State University and Winston-Salem State University. The MEAC has enjoyed great success over the years in athletics. Currently, the league has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982) , I-Championship Subdivision football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994). HISTORY In 1969, a group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, NC to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference based along the Atlantic coastline. A number of representatives from different institutions joined the steering committee in a two-day discussion about the new conference. Seven of these institutions agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference: Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, and South Carolina State University. The MEAC headquarters remained in Durham, NC until 1981, moving to Greensboro March 26, 1982. In August 2005, the MEAC relocated to its current location in Virginia Beach, VA. The league was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, the MEAC selected its first full-time commissioner, Kenneth A. Free, and the following year, expanded to nine schools with the admission of two Florida schools: Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University. The MEAC operated with nine schools until 1985 when Coppin State College was admitted. The final expansion, prior to the agreed-upon addition of WSSU, occurred in the ‘90s with the inclusion of Hampton University in 1995 and Norfolk State University in 1997. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified Division One by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the following month, received an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

• Bethune-Cookman earned the league’s first-ever at-large bid into the NCAA Softball Tournament in 2005. The Lady Wildcats went on to defeat Florida, Central Florida (UCF), and South Florida (USF) to win the Florida Regional in Gainesville, the first time any MEAC school has won an NCAA Regional. B-CC ended its remarkable 2005 season with the leagues’ first-ever ranking in the final softball polls, reaching No. 18 in the NSCA/USA Today Coaches poll and No. 23 in the USA Softball/ESPN.com Poll.

Bowman Gray Stadium

Bowman Gray Stadium during a Winston-Salem State University football game. For football, Bowman Gray Stadium can accommodate over 18,000 rowdy fans.

The Winston-Salem State University football team plays its homes games in the friendly confines of nearby Bowman Gray Stadium. Bowman Gray Stadium is owned by the city of Winston-Salem and is located one block from the Winston-Salem State University main campus. The stadium holds 18,000 fans for exciting Winston-Salem State Rams football games each fall. For concerts and special events, Bowman Gray Stadium holds more than 25,000 fans. Every Saturday night from spring until football season in the fall, Bowman Gray features the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series. Seating is available for 20,000 race fans, with most races selling out. Races begin at 8:00 pm every Saturday evening, with gates opening at 6:00 pm. Bowman Gray Stadium and Winston-Salem State University football are both local legends that attract multitudes of fans on a regular basis. The Rams have been playing at Bowman Gray stadium since the 1946 season and have amassed a record of 39-23-1 at home since Head Football Coach Kermit Blount took over as Head Coach of the Rams in 1993.

The stadium houses a natural grass field and an impressive 3,748 square-foot, dual-level, press box. A new $5.1 million fieldhouse is nearing completion as construction began following the 2006 football season. The old fieldhouse which stood at Bowman-Gray Stadium for the better part of two decades was removed and a new, state-of-the-art 20,992 square foot athletic fieldhouse is slated for a grand-opening on November 1, 2007. The five million dollar building was designed by Carlos Espinosa of Thomas H. Hughes Architecture, P.C. and is being built by Triad Builders of King, North Carolina under the guidance of Project Manager Aric Bullington and Superintendent Doug Boelsche. The fieldhouse will house all of WSSU’s football, sports medicine, and athletic administration offices as well a pair of athletic communications offices, two skyboxes, and over 4,000 square feet of meeting space.

C.E. Gaines Center / LJVM Coliseum

The outside of the CE Gaines Center on a fall afternoon.

This picture displays the CE Gaines Center during a home game. The picture proves how hostile an environment the Gaines Center is for opposing teams.

The Clarence E. Gaines Center, known to most as “The Gaines Center” is the primary site in which the Winston-Salem State University men’s and women’s basketball teams compete. It serves as not only a competition site, but as the primary practice facility for both the Rams and Lady Rams, in addition to being one of the home sites for the WSSU women’s volleyball team. What was once considered to be “state of the art” is now deemed too small for the larger than capacity crowds that both the men’s and women’s basketball teams generate. While the Gaines Center seats over 3,100 persons, the majority of games have sell-out attendance. The Gaines Center is a very hostile place for visiting teams to play, and the Rams and Lady Rams very seldom lose in its friendly confines amassing a home winning percentage near .700 for the last decade. The playing surface, constructed of premium quality hard wood,

is resurfaced every year to optimize playing conditions. When fans pack into the Gaines Center to watch WSSU take on opposing teams, the gymnasium becomes a sea of raucous fans, and the temperature inside rises to nearly unbearable levels. Originally planned to be a classic Division II arena, the Gaines Center was constructed in 1971 and hosted its first basketball contest in November of that same year. Named after legendary WSSU basketball coach and the NCAA’s fifth winningest coach ever, Clarence E. Gaines, and adorned with rows of championship banners hanging from the ceiling, the Gaines Center is a testament to the tradition and history that is Winston-Salem State basketball. Plans for a new 6,500 seat basketball arena/convocation center are in development with construction slated for the 2008-09 academic year.

LJVM Coliseum

One of the newest arenas in the MidEastern Athletic Conference, and one of the most beautiful basketball facilities in the country is the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum (14,665). The facility serves as the part-time home of Winston-Salem State University basketball. Though the facility is owned by the city of Winston-Salem, with the major tenant being the cross-town Demon Deacons of Wake Forest University, the Rams and Lady Rams play a large portion of their home schedules at the LJVM Coliseum every season.

Since its opening in 1989, the Joel Coliseum has hosted many nationally known entertainment acts, a wide variety of university and community affairs, and a number of professional and amateur sporting events that have brought the focus of the entire country to the city of Winston-Salem. The coliseum is owned and operated by the city of Winston-Salem, and only through a cooperative effort from civic and corporate leaders did the facility become a reality.

Lawrence Joel Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum

Lawrence Joel Coliseum Joel Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum Timeline • November 1984 - Dr. Thomas Hearn, the president of Wake Forest University, pledges $2.5 million from the school toward construction of a new coliseum by the City of Winston-Salem. • March 1985 - The 56-member Citizens’ Coliseum Committee, appointed by Mayor Wayne Corpening, endorses a plan to build a 14,000-seat arena, with a 3,500-seat annex for ice hockey, public iceskating and the Dixie Classic Fair for a total of $24 million. • June 1985 - A bond referendum to raise $20 million for construction of a coliseum and annex is passed by Winston-Salem voters by a margin of between 4 to 1 and 5 to 1. • October 1985 - The city chooses Ellerbe Associates of Minneapolis as chief architect for the coliseum project Ellerbe’s portfolio includes the University of Kentucky’s Rupp Arena and Notre Dame’s Athletic and Convocation Center. Ellerbe announces that a Winston-Salem architectural firm, Hines-Northup-Ersoy, will serve as associate architect on the project. • November 1985 - The Triad Vietnam Veterans Association proposes that the new coliseum be named for Lawrence Joel, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner from Winston-Salem who died in February 1984. • February 1986 - The Board of Aldermen votes to name the new coliseum the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in honor of Lawrence Joel and all Forsyth County veterans who lost their lives in armed conflict. • March 1986 - Ellerbe Associates releases its design for the coliseum and estimates total construction costs for the building at $26 million. • November 1986 - The city asks for construction bids. • March 1987 - The city awards building contracts. P.J. Dick Contracting of Pittsburgh, Pa., which submitted a bid of $14.1 million, is named the general contractor. Another $6 million in contracts is awarded to firms from Charlotte, Greensboro, Wilson and Burwick, Me. • April 23, 1987 - Ground is broken and construction begins on the coliseum, which will sit just north and east of the old Memorial Coliseum, in an area that is part of the parking lot and the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. • December 1987 - City officials announce that the proposed annex building will cost $8.35 million, twice as high as the city’s first estimate. It will contain 80,000-plus square feet, instead of the 55,000 square feet originally planned.

A wonderful basketball facility, the LJVM Coliseum has played host to the CIAA Basketball Championship and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds (1993, 1997, 2000 and 2007). It also played host to a prestigious Davis Cup tennis match between the United States and India. The facility hosted the first and second rounds of the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in March of 2007 marking the fourth time that the arena has hosted this event. Lawrence Joel Coliseum was actually almost two decades in the making. Twice during the 1970s (1976 and 1979), the voters of WinstonSalem rejected bond proposals that would have led to the replacement of the aging memorial coliseum. In December of 1984, however, the process was renewed again, and this time the plan was approved. A citizen’s committee determined the best size for the proposed facility, as well as a plan for an adjacent annex that could be used to supplement the calendar of events anticipated. That annex, referred to as the LJVM Coliseum Annex, is used by the Rams for basketball in addition to the C.E.

Gaines Center and the LJVM Coliseum. The total cost for the facilities was estimated at $26 million. The new coliseum was named for Lawrence Joel, the only native of Winston-Salem, NC who has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest combat award. Joel, an Army medic who passed away in 1984, was recognized for saving the lives of 13 fellow soldiers during a Viet Cong attack north of Saigon in 1965. Although twice wounded in the legs by enemy machine gunfire, Joel crawled across the battle area for more than 24 hours, administering aid to his comrades. Nearly 500 other Forsyth County veterans who gave their lives for their country in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Grenada Invasion, and the Persian Gulf War are also honored in the unique memorial at the entrance of the coliseum. Ground was broken on April 23 of 1987, and work was completed on August 28, 1989 with a dedication ceremony that officially announced the opening of what now is the LJVM Coliseum Complex.

• March 1988 - The city hires Ronald R. Morgan, a Charlotte architect, to study plans for the annex and to determine if it would be feasible to renovate Memorial Coliseum or if part of the structure could be used as part of the new annex. • March 1988 - The city sends invitations to 5,000 artists and art galleries to submit a resume and slides of their work if they’re interested in designing the memorial at the coliseum. Work begins in studying the designs of artists. • June 1988 - The Board of Aldermen approves building the annex, which will seat 3,588 for ice hockey, and demolishing Memorial Coliseum. Completion of the new building is scheduled for the spring of 1991. • November 1988 - The Board of Aldermen accepts a memorial designed by James Ford, a New York artist. It will consist of individual markers outside the entrance and a memorial inside the lobby. A poem entitled “The Fallen” is to be engraved on the wall of the interior memorial. • March 1989 - The Board of Aldermen agrees to name the coliseum’s press room the Gene Overby Press Room, in memory of Gene Overby, the longtime WSJS announcer and “Voice of the Deacons,” who died March 30, 1989, after a long battle with cancer.

Tennis Complex/Upcoming Projects With the transition to NCAA Division I, the Rams and Lady Rams have experienced tremendous growth within the athletic department. New staff positions, additional coaches, increased scholarships and improvements to athletic facilities have all added to the overall studentathlete experience at Winston-Salem State University and have translated into success on the field and in the classroom.

The new track and field facility will allow the Rams and Lady Rams to continue their dominance on the track.

While the new WSSU athletic fieldhouse is completed this summer, there will be groundbreakings on two additional athletic department facilities projects as the Lady Rams softball team and the men’s and women’s track and field teams will witness the building of their new homes as well.

The site for the new softball facility will be at the old Civitan Park location where the Lady Rams have enjoyed years of success en route to earning four CIAA softball titles.

Located adjacent to the new WSSU tennis complex, the men’s and women’s track and field team will receive a completely new, state-ofthe-art track and field facility which will house an eight-lane rubberized running track, high jump and long jump pits, pole vault, hammer throw and javelin stations and will house a 100-yard football practice field.

Estimated Cost - $3 million Contractor – New Atlantic Architect – Site Solutions The improvements in facilities for WSSU student-athletes is possible through the generous donations and endowments of alumni, fans, and supporters of WSSU athletics. With the help of everyone in the “Ram Nation”, WSSU will continue to be an athletic power, one that carries on the tradition of excellence that has long been associated with Winston-Salem State University.

2006-07 WSSU Athletics in Review The 2006-07 athletic season at Winston-Salem State University was a year that was full of unique and exciting challenges for the student-athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators as the Rams and Lady Rams welcomed the second year of the transition to the highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition at the NCAA Division I level. A storied program of athletic excellence, one that has captured 42 conference titles and one national championship, the Rams and Lady Rams continued to lay the foundations upon which the WSSU Department of Athletics will build future Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference success. Scheduled to become a full-time member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in 2007-08, the Rams and Lady Rams spent the 2006-07 season as an NCAA Division I Independent thus enabling WSSU coaches and student-athletes to travel the nation playing some of the NCAA’s most storied athletic programs. Increased national exposure, invaluable experience, and team bonding helped the Rams and Lady Rams to countless successes on the fields and courts of play in 2006-07 as Winston-Salem State University student-athletes erased all doubts about their ability to compete at the Division I level. The 2006 fall season offered many new challenges for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams volleyball team and the team responded with the tenacity and competitive spirit that has become a trademark of Winston-Salem State University Athletics. The Lady Rams faced some of the best competition in the southeast facing such powers as Providence College, North Carolina A&T, UNC-Wilmington, The Citadel, High Point University, and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference runners-up Maryland-Eastern Shore. Though saddled with a 2-34 overall record, the Lady Rams demonstrated their heart posting a pair of five-set wins, defeating Fayetteville State at home and taking a road win at Savannah State. It was the Lady Rams’ young guns that led the way in 2006 with the WSSU freshmen and sophomores dominating the team’s statistics. Sophomore Valentina Pushkina led the way for the Lady Rams placing in the team’s top three in nearly every statistical category. She led the team in assists (572), was third on the team in kills (145), was second on the team in digs (168), was second in total blocks (36), and was second on the team in service aces (44). Through their heart and determination, the 2006 Lady Rams have written another great chapter in the history of Winston-Salem State University Athletics. The men’s cross country team earned three top 10 finishes in 2006 as they secured a fourth-place finish at the UNC-Pembroke Cross Country Invitational to open the season, added an eighth place finish at the Old Northstate Championships, and recorded a fifth place performance at the seasonending North Carolina Central University Invitational. The WSSU men also recorded an 11th place finish at the Wingate Invitational, an 18th place finish at the Greensboro Cross Country Invite, and an impressive 26th place finish in the largest cross country invitational of the season in Orlando, Florida as WSSU secured an impressive finish at the Walt Disney World Cross Country Classic. The successes of the men’s cross country program were only compounded by their female counterparts as the Lady Rams’ cross country team captured five top-15 finishes and earned three top-10 finishes in 2006. The WSSU women opened the season with a fifth-place finish at the UNC-Pembroke Cross Country invitational, added a fifth place finish at the Old Northstate Championships and earned an event championship as they cruised to a first-place finish at the North Carolina Central University Cross Country Invitational to close the season. The ladies added to their impressive finishes with a 12th place performance at the Wingate Invitational and an 11th-place finish at the Greensboro Cross Country Invite where Irene Jeptolo broke her own WSSU school record as she completed the 5K course in 18:49.6 as she placed fourth in the event, only nine seconds off of the lead pace. The Winston-Salem State University women’s bowling team completed the fifth season of competition in program history in 2006 as they continued to put in place the pieces of a future championship puzzle.

2006-07 WSSU Athletics in Review The Lady Ram bowlers competed well during a grueling four-month schedule that saw WSSU travel the east coast as they competed against many of the nation’s top women’s bowling programs. WSSU visited the state of Florida twice, traveled to Norfolk, Virginia, road-tripped to Maryland, and twice bowled in their home state of North Carolina without ever hosting a home match as the Lady Rams spent the entire season away from home. Coupled with the travel schedule, the Lady Rams faced many of the nation’s most successful programs, none of which was more powerful than the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Lady Hawks whom WSSU would compete against six times in the 2006-07 season. The Lady Hawks, a two-time NCAA Championship participant and the 2007 NCAA title runners-up would again take notice as the Lady Rams, a program that competed as one of only eight national finalists in the inaugural NCAA women’s bowling championship in 2004, continues to build a national-caliber program as they prepare for MEAC membership next season. When anyone thinks of the fall season at Winston-Salem State University, one’s mind immediately shifts to football, one of the most storied athletic programs at WSSU. The 2006 season was another in a long line of history-making years for the Rams’ gridiron gang as Winston-Salem State rushed their way to a 4-7 record versus many of NCAA Division I-AA’s most powerful programs. Despite the impressive 4-7 record, 14th-year head coach Kermit Blount refused to rest on the laurels of current and past success as he continued to solidify the strong WSSU football program as WSSU looks poised to prove ready for their inaugural season in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in 2007. As always, basketball season proved for another exciting winter at WSSU. The WSSU women, under the guidance of head coach Dee Stokes turned in an impressive first season at the Division I level. There is a lot to be said about the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams’ 2006-07 season. Though the team had a number of rough spots along the way that would have forced many teams to accept losses and failures, the team never gave in and showed a determination that lasted for the entire season. The team’s determination was shown in the squad’s stellar finish to the year. In a season that constantly pointed towards the future, the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams found tremendous success right away during the team’s 8-21 run. Playing arguably the toughest schedule in team history, the Lady Rams’ hard work and dedication led to a number of quality wins and some fantastic performances by a Lady Rams squad that had many chances to quit. The Lady Rams went into some of the toughest arenas in the ACC facing #2 North Carolina at Carmichael Auditorium, Georgia Tech at Gwinnett Arena, and facing the Demon Deacons of cross-town Wake Forest at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Carter led the way for the Lady Rams with a 13.2 points per game average and a 10.1 rebounds per game rebounding average for the season. Heading into the season, Carter had already surpassed the 1,000-point mark and continued her strong play into the 2006-07 season, her final season as a Lady Ram. She did not disappoint, surpassing the 1,000-rebound plateau as well. For her career, Carter totaled 1,451 points and pulled in 1,005 rebounds. For her career, Carter played in 111 games with 105 starts. The men’s basketball team was arguably the most battle-tested team on campus during the 200607 athletic season. The Rams welcomed a new coaching staff, new players and a new NCAA Division I classification as they made the unprecedented leap to competition on the nation’s most challenging stage. The Rams welcomed head coach Bobby Collins, a proven winner who has earned a pair of MidEastern Athletic Conference championships as a head coach and countless conference titles as a top assistant as Collins led a team that returned only seven lettermen and welcomed eight newcomers. Collins and the Rams wasted no time in getting down to business in 2006-07 as the Rams were faced with one of the most challenging schedules in the nation, a schedule which boasted road games versus national championship contenders Kansas and Georgetown and saw the Rams take to the court versus eight teams that competed in the NCAA postseason.

2006-07 WSSU Athletics in Review The Rams traveled over 25,000 miles in 2006-07 and faced 27 unique opponents from 15 different conferences as the road-tested WSSU men visited 15 states and three time zones in their first year of competition at the NCAA Division I level. The Rams burst onto the national scene as they made three television appearances and secured five impressive victories in a season that was filled with 23 road games. WSSU secured wins over Anderson University, Ferrum College, Norfolk State, Bethune-Cookman and Columbia Union College and suffered near-miss defeats at Georgia State University, at Akron, at Morgan State, at South Carolina State and at Wake Forest as they dropped seven contests by 10-points or less en route to a 5-24 record. Despite having only five wins on the season, the Rams’ future looks extremely bright as only three seniors depart from the program and Collins looks forward to the return of a plethora of young talent. The men’s and women’s basketball teams were not the only athletes at WSSU burning up the hardwood in the winter of 2006-07 as the WSSU Cheerleading squads continued to show why they are the pride of Historically Black Colleges and University’s nationwide. The WSSU cheerleading teams, consisting of junior varsity and varsity squads as well as a pair of Ram mascots, had a successful 2006-07 year in which they accomplished many outstanding things. In addition to cheering on the football and basketball teams of WSSU, the cheerleaders advanced to new heights in cheerleading and stunting, starting with their second appearance at the Universal Cheerleading Association camp at the University of Tennessee. In addition to their on-court and on-field activities the cheerleaders also participated in a wide variety of community outreach programs working with elementary and middle school kids and the disabled and elderly in the triad. WSSU Cheerleaders appeared at many events, including, but not limited the “Youth Crime Watch & Prevention Forum”, the “Donate Life Walk”, “The Salem House”, the Diggs Elementary and Walkertown Middle schools and the Triad Area Pop Warner football programs, in addition to working camps and clinics for the Burlington/Alamance county schools. The season’s high-point would be when the WSSU Cheerleaders hosted, worked and taught the Triad High School Cheer Competition at the C.E. Gaines Center on Saturday, April 21, 2007. The WSSU Cheerleading teams, under the guidance and tutelage of coaches Joevanne Estrada and Latoya Whitefield and Director of Cheerleading Operations, Lori Dobbins, continue to bring a source of pride to Winston-Salem State University. The spring of 2007 again proved to be a time of athletic success for the Rams and Lady Rams as softball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis and outdoor track and field continued to achieve at the highest level. Continuing in a long running legacy of athletic excellence that has included five conference championships, the 2007 Winston-Salem State Lady Rams carried on the tradition of great softball play this season, making their presence felt in their second season of NCAA Division I play. Though the team struggled with injuries significantly shortening the Lady Rams’ roster, the team made up for the shortage in numbers with an overage of heart and determination. The team’s efforts this season have sent a statement to their future conference competition with Winston-Salem State joining the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference next year. The Winston-Salem State Rams tennis team battled their way through a tough 2007 season that saw the team become road warriors. The young Rams squad was truly battled-tested, facing some of the toughest competition in mid-major collegiate tennis. Highlighting the team’s efforts this season was their 5-2 win over North Carolina Wesleyan on February 16, 2007. The Rams won the doubles play as well as four singles matches to take the road victory. The season was a tough one for the Rams, but laid the foundation for a program on the rise. The 2007 women’s tennis season offered a tough road for the Winston-Salem Lady Rams as the team had to face one of its toughest schedules in recent history. The Lady Rams found little comfort at home facing just two teams in Winston-Salem, but hitting the road to face 17 of the team’s 18 opponents.

 40 

2006-07 WSSU Athletics in Review Highlighting the Lady Rams’ season was a 5-1 win over Savannah State at the Bulldog Tennis Center on the campus of South Carolina State University. After winning the doubles point, the Lady Rams went on to win four of the five singles matches to take the 5-1 victory. The lessons learned during the 2007 season will be a great building block for the future of Lady Ram tennis in years to come. The 2007 Rams and Lady Rams track & field teams headed into the 2007 season with something to prove and as the competitors that were left behind can attest, the team proved its point beyond a shadow of a doubt. The Rams and Lady Rams took the track against some of the best track & field teams in the nation including taking the field at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, and North Carolina A&T. Highlighting the team’s efforts this season were the men’s and women’s sprint relay teams that captured the headlines on numerous occasions this season. During the season, the team has left behind teams from East Carolina, Virginia Commonwealth, Coastal Carolina, and a host of other nationally-ranked intercollegiate athletic institutions. The WSSU sprinters have been solid all year long with sophomore Wykeitha Barnett leading the way for the Lady Rams while senior Gerrod Sidbury led the way for the Rams. Barnett had a great indoor season finishing 10th in the women’s 60m dash with a season-best time of 7.83 seconds in the finals of the event. She had her best performance of the outdoor season close to home when she ran a 00:12.16 at the Wake Forest Open. Sidbury led the way for the Rams winning the men’s 400m dash at the Father Diamond Invitational at George Mason. He went on to finish sixth at the Shamrock Invitational hosted by Coastal Carolina in Conway, South Carolina with a time of 49.30. His best time of the season came at the Wake Forest Invitational when he turned in an 11th place finish in the men’s 400m run in a time of 48.41. One of the team’s best efforts of the season came at the North Carolina A&T Aggie Relays when the Rams and Lady Rams notched numerous great finishes in the meet. Highlighting the fantastic season was the Rams 4x400m relay team that took first place at the North Carolina A&T Aggie Relays with a time of 3:21.06, leaving behind teams from North Carolina Central, St. Paul’s College, and UNC-Pembroke. The WSSU men’s golf team, a program with six conference championships in its trophy case continues to grow under the leadership of coaches Lester Carpenter and Robert Bethea as the men’s golfers rebuild a program that was re-born four seasons ago after a 14-year layoff. The Rams turned in a successful season as they made great strides during their eight-month long season that started in September and concluded the final week of May. Most impressive of all in 2006-07 was the play of senior golfer Josh Vogler. Vogler fired four rounds in the 60’s and the remainder of his rounds in the 70’s as he paved the way for the Rams’ successes. Vogler’s most impressive performance in 2006-07 was a season-best round of 68 in second-day competition at the seventh annual J. Ralph Hargett Memorial Intercollegiate Golf Tournament at the Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation. The 2006-07 athletic season was one of ups and downs at WSSU as the Rams and Lady Rams endured the growing pains of an athletic program on the rise at the Division I level. The season was one that was measured not in wins and losses but in improvement and achievement as the 200plus WSSU student-athletes helped to put their respective programs on the NCAA Division I map. Motivated and focused top-tier student-athletes, devoted, caring and knowledgeable coaches and athletic administrators and the support of the community and national alumni will continue to help the Rams and Lady Rams in their quest for MEAC and national titles in the years to come.

2007-08 WSSU Basketball Season Outlook

NEW CHARACTERS TO WRITE NEXT CHAPTER OF LADY RAMS BASKETBALL The newest chapter of Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball will have an almost brand new cast of characters as a host of first-year players and coaches will carry on the already storied history of WSSU women’s basketball. Nine newcomers and a revamped coaching staff will carry on the tradition of WSSU women’s basketball in a 2007-08 season that is filled with challenges that includes the team’s first season as a MidEastern Athletic Conference member. This season’s Lady Rams are a talented, athletic bunch that will give fans a lot to cheer about and keep opponents’ hands full all season long. This season, the squad welcomes nine newcomers, including eight freshmen. The season will also debut a revamped coaching staff that features a pair of former head coaches and a former Big East talent. OVERVIEW The 2007-08 chapter of Lady Rams basketball will have a host of challenges that range from replacing some of the best players in team history to playing with eight freshmen and playing their first full Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schedule. WSSU head coach Dee Stokes is excited about her young squad and will look to lead the squad as they prepare to make their presence known in the MEAC. The Lady Rams will line up with eight freshmen and a junior college transfer this season. The new additions will offer a host of challenges of their own, but they are challenges that the team is looking forward to facing. “The advantages are that they’re young and energetic,” WSSU head coach Dee Stokes said of her squad. “The disadvantage is that they’re young and green, but we hope to overcome that.” It will be senior guard Keoshia Worthy who will look to lead the way for the young Lady Rams squad this season. The team will be in good hands, as Worthy has been one of the team’s top players for her entire career as a Lady Ram and she will look to cap her career with a great performance this season. Last season, she finished as the team’s fourth leading scorer averaging 6.2 points per game and 3.2 rebounds per contest. She also added 28 assists and 18 steals last season. Her best effort of the season came in one of the team’s biggest games of the season with 10 points and eight rebounds against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and nearly led the team to an upset of their Atlantic Coast Conference foes. She scored a season-high 11 points in games against Norfolk State and Towson. This season, Worthy will be cast a starring role for the Lady Rams and is ready for prime time. “She has provided a lot of leadership,” Stokes said of Worthy. “She’s been a vocal leader and has led by example. You can see that she has a quicker step than everybody else in conditioning. I’ve been very, very pleased with her thus far.”

2007-08 WSSU Basketball Season Outlook The Lady Rams will welcome a much taller group with four players who stand 5-10 or taller, two more than last season’s squad. The addition of the players will give the team a much stronger defensive presence both on the perimeter and in the paint. “We want to play, hard-nosed defensively, we want to play fast,” Stokes said of your young squad. “We want to press and get after it and it starts on the defensive end for us.” BACKCOURT This season, the team will look to push the ball and speed up the pace of the game with an quick energetic group of youngsters what will look to make things exciting for Lady Ram fans. Once again, it will be Worthy leading the way for the young WSSU backcourt that includes the only two upperclassmen on the squad. She has been a solid ball-handler for the Lady Rams for her entire career totaling 122 assists with just 150 turnovers. She had a great effort as a sophomore with the Lady Rams in 2006-07 when she totaled 94 assists to 77 turnovers. Last season, Worthy’s role changed to that of a scorer more than a distributor with just 28 assists. With such a young squad, Worthy will be counted upon to do it all for the Lady Rams’ backcourt this season. Joining the Lady Rams’ backcourt will be junior Patrice Wade, a transfer from Chattanooga State. Last season, she averaged 11.6 points per game, including 33 three-pointers. Her touch will be needed to give the team some much needed scoring punch from the guard position. A talented group of freshmen will round out the Lady Rams’ backcourt this season with local product Rene Rector leading the way. Rector was honored as the Piedmont Player of the Year. A true point guard out of Mount Tabor High School, Rector could be the answer to the team’s needs at the point guard position. She averaged 16.9 points per game and 6.4 assists per game last season at Mount Tabor. With her scoring and passing abilities should help the Lady Rams right away. Also joining the WSSU backcourt will be freshmen guards Montague Austin and Corbin Bradford. At 5-6 and 5-7, the duo will look to push the ball and play some tenacious on the ball defense for the Lady Rams. FRONTCOURT The Lady Rams will have an all freshman frontcourt this season, but with such an energetic and athletic group of youngsters, the Lady Rams’ speed alone will give opponents a lot to deal with. At 6-2, freshman center Nora Campbell will lead the way for the Lady Rams front court at the center position. She will have the daunting task of replacing graduate Lady Ram Shalonda Carter. However, Campbell is a decorated player from St. Anthony’s Senior High School in Huntington, NY. Campbell should give the team a need presence in the paint both on offense and on defense. She was hampered by an off-season injury and should be back to help the team this season.

2007-08 WSSU Basketball Season Outlook Also joining the squad will be fellow freshman Vontisha Woods, a 6-0 forward/center from Danville, VA. She is one of the more athletic players on the team and will look to provide a solid presence in the paint for the Lady Rams. Her quickness and strong vertical leap will give the team a presence at both ends of the floor and allow some up-tempo play in transition. Joining the two will be forwards Quintoya Mobley and Jalesa Byrd. At 5-11 and 5-10, both players will give the team some needed height in the front court. Byrd also has the skills to move to the small forward/guard position both on defense and on offense. SCHEDULE Sharing the stage with the Lady Rams will be a formidable cast of opponents as the 2007-08 schedule is likely to offer one of the team’s toughest schedules in school history. This season, the Lady Rams will play a full slate of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference games to go along with a tough non-conference schedule. The Lady Rams will play a strong slate of non-conference teams this season both on the road and at home. WSSU will open the season in Blacksburg, VA when the team goes on the road to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies. The team will also head to Columbus, OH to take part in the Klosterman Buckeye Classic hosted by Ohio State. The Lady Rams could potentially face host Ohio State, Auburn, or Colgate in the tournament. The team will also head to Charlotte, NC to take on the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls and will also head across town to face the local rival Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The team will host some tough non-conference foes as well with the team hosting the Radford Highlanders, the Elon Phoenix, and the Longwood Lancers in games at the C.E. Gaines Center. With such a tough non-conference schedule ahead of them, the Lady Rams will be well-prepared to face an even tougher schedule of MEAC games. Though the team is ineligible for post-season play, the Lady Rams will play a full slate of MEAC games beginning with a December 1st match up against the South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs. The team will return to conference play in January when they will play four home MEAC games against, including games against Maryland-Eastern Shore, Delaware State, Howard, and Hampton. The team will play in some of the most inhospitable arenas in the conference, including heading to the Coppin Center to take on the Coppin State Eagles, who have not lost a regular season MEAC game in two seasons and heading to Tallahassee, FL to take on the Florida A&M Rattlers. The Lady Rams will circle a pair of games against the North Carolina A&T Aggies. The team will play their local rivals in Greensboro on January 26th and will host them on February 23rd.

Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams Basketball Coaching Staff

WSSU Basketball Coaching Staff

Dee Stokes ➤ WSSU Head Basketball Coach ➤ Second Season (8-21 At WSSU) ➤ Sixth Season (58-73 Overall) ➤ University of North Carolina at Charlotte ‘93

Heading into her second season as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams head coach, Dee Stokes carries the legacy of the Lady Rams into the next era of WSSU women’s basketball, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference future. Her leadership and tenacity will lead the way for Winston-Salem State women’s basketball as the program enters a new era in its storied history. She is a great leader with a history of success and a wealth of coaching knowledge and experience. Taking over a program that had seen some recent struggles at the NCAA Division II level and leading that team was not an easy task for Stokes, but it was one that she carried out in a great way. She took over a WSSU team that hadn’t posted a winning season since the 2002-03 season and had not won more than 12 games in the three following seasons. Though the team had its challenges, Stokes led the squad to a very successful season, completing season sweeps of three different NCAA Division I teams, including posting two wins each over Norfolk State,  64 

Savannah State, and BethuneCookman. The Lady Rams also posted a road win over MEAC runner-up Morgan State. The Lady Rams finished the 200607 season with an 8-21 record. She did not slow down at the end of the season, however, as Stokes hit the recruiting trail and brought in nine new players to the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams program. Stokes took the reins of the Lady Rams women’s basketball program on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 when Director of Athletics Chico Caldwell announced her hiring, replacing John Williams. Prior to taking the reins at Winston-Salem State University, Stokes spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach under Bud Childers at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South Carolina. “We conducted an extensive search process, and from that process, we had 53 very qualified candidates,” Caldwell said. “The search committee that was assembled for this hiring was extremely excited about the quality of the candidates that the search generated, and we are happy to bring in Dee as our new head

WSSU Basketball Coaching Staff women’s basketball coach. We are happy that she brings with her a Division I playing and coaching background and understands what it takes to build a program, both academically and athletically. I feel that she truly captures the vision the University has about college athletics and how it relates to academics. She brings with her a wealth of experience and ability both in the coaching and teaching realm, but also in terms of recruiting and all other facets that make an athletic program great.” Stokes, who served as the head women’s basketball coach at East Carolina University from 1998 through 2002, played college basketball at Wake Forest University for two seasons before transferring to UNC-Charlotte from where she graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. In December of 2004, Stokes earned her Master’s

 65 

of Public Administration from DeVry University. Following her undergraduate graduation, Stokes entered the coaching profession and held assistant coaching positions at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, Murray State University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Nebraska until 1998 when she was hired at ECU. During her five years as an assistant coach, the schools at which she served made three NCAA tournament appearances, captured two conference tournament championships and one regular season title. Stokes helped to lead ECU to three consecutive winning seasons from 1998 to 2001 marking the first time in 14 years that feat had been accomplished. In 2001, she was selected to serve as an assistant coach for the USA Basketball Team that captured the gold medal at the World University Games in Beijing, China.

Rams in the Community Student-Athletes at Winston-Salem State University have full calendars: classes, labs and study groups, plus practices, workouts, and team meetings. Nonetheless, most WSSU student-athletes find time in their schedules to reach out to their community and prepare for life after their athletic careers at WSSU are over. The Rams and Lady Rams are extremely active in the community. From youth reading programs to after school activities, the student-athletes at WSSU are constantly giving back to their communities. CHAMPS/Life Skills CHAMPS (CHallenging Athletes’ Minds for Personal Success) was implemented in NCAA institutions beginning in 1994. The CHAMPS/Life Skills program was created to improve and enhance the student-athlete experience within their selected communities. The program was founded at Winston-Salem State University in 1998 and is under the guidance of Associate Director of Athletics/Senior Woman Administrator Tonia Walker. “The purpose of CHAMPS/Life Skills is to prepare student-athletes for their life after athletics,” says Tonia Walker, WSSU’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Director. “The student-athletes help to mentor youth in the community, thereby strengthening not only their bond with the community but the community’s bond with the students and athletes of WSSU.” The CHAMPS/Life Skills program has five commitments for the establishment of a well-rounded student-athlete. Those commitments include academics, athletics, career development, personal development, and community service. It is through those five areas that the program works to develop not only quality student-athletes, but also exceptional individuals. Student-Athlete Advisory Council CHAMPS/Life Skills offers student-athletes the opportunity to enhance their experience as Rams through leadership opportunities. In addition to community activities, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program has a StudentAthlete Advisory Council (SAAC) that meets once a month to discuss issues dealing with the welfare of the student-athletes. The SAAC consists of one representative of every varsity sport at WSSU, with the exception of football which is represented by two studentathletes. Each team is guaranteed one seat on the Council. The council is governed by a constitution and is student-athlete led. Involvement in the CHAMPS/Life Skills program is voluntary, yet each year over 150 WSSU student-athletes participate. In 2005-06, CHAMPS/Life Skills members volunteered more than 800 hours, reaching thousands of local children. If you would like to get your school or youth group involved in the CHAMPS/Life Skills program, please call WSSU Associate Director of Athletics, Tonia Walker at (336) 750-2147 for additional information.

2007-08 WSSU Basketball Uniform Choices The 2007-08 season marks the second year for the Lady Rams at the NCAA Division I level and will continue to usher in a new age of basketball history for Winston-Salem State University. The transition from Division II to the nation’s highest level of intercollegiate athletic competition at the NCAA Division I level will require changes and improvements to nearly every facet of the basketball program, with the uniforms that the players wear being no exception. The Rams, as part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (starting in 2007-08), have partnered with world-renowned corporate entities Russell Athletic and Nike to help outfit their teams. As part of the partnership between Nike and Russell Athletic, the MEAC, and the 12 conference member schools, each institution receives complimentary uniforms from Russell Athletic and an allotment of footwear from Nike, the world’s most esteemed footwear brand. From its beginnings in 1902, Russell Corporation has prided itself on the quality and value of its products -and on its commitment to its employees and the communities where it operates. Russell has long been a company that is able to take advantage of changes in the marketplace, changes in technology, and changes in its products. Building on its heritage as an athletic company, Russell has become a global leader in the sporting goods industry with apparel and equipment for all levels of activity - from the playing fields of major colleges to the backyards of homes across the country. With its well-known brands such as Russell Athletic, JERZEES, Spalding, Moving Comfort and a variety of technically designed running shoes from Brooks Sports, Russell Corporation has the products to meet the needs of the serious athlete to the weekend warrior - and everything in between. That is why the Lady Rams and all 12 members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, as well as over 500 other NCAA member institutions choose Russell Athletic for all of their uniform and apparel needs. The Rams, like all other college basketball programs in the NCAA, will wear light colored jerseys at home and dark colored jerseys on the road. The Lady Rams will wear a scarlet red (PMS 199) away jersey with white taping for all away games. The dri-power jerseys will feature tackle-twill numbers on the front and back with nameplates emblazoning the back. The Lady Rams athletic mark will be embroidered on the placket, and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest (starting with the 2007-08 season). WSSU’s home jersey will be a white Russell Athletic dri-power top with red taping. The home jersey is nearly the mirror opposite of the away jersey with tackle-twill numbers on the front and back and nameplates adorning the back. The Lady Rams athletic mark will again be embroidered on the placket and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest (starting with the 2007-08 season). WSSU will also employ the use of a third, alternate jersey that will be worn for selected games both on the road and at home. WSSU’s alternate jersey will be a black Russell Athletic dripower top with red and white taping. The alternate jersey is a third-color copy of the away and home jerseys with tackle-twill numbers on the front and back and nameplates adorning the back. The Lady Rams athletic mark will again be embroidered on the placket and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest (starting with the 2007-08 season). The footwear of choice for the Lady Rams will be emblazoned with the world-famous Nike Swoosh. Nike, Inc. operates on six continents with suppliers, shippers, retailers and service providers employing close to one million people. The diversity inherent in such size is helping Nike evolve its role as a global company. Nike, Inc. is committed to an attitude whereby they see a bigger picture today than when they started, one that includes building sustainable business with sound labor practices. Nike, Inc. retains the zeal of youth yet acts on their responsibilities as a global corporate citizen. As a direct result of these future-minded business practices, Nike, Inc. has become the world’s largest supplier of footwear to the NCAA and currently holds a market share near 65%. The Lady Rams will wear up to four different models of Nike footwear this season as WSSU will wear any combination of the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4, the Nike Air Max Elite II TB, the Nike Air Zoom Huarache Elite II TB and the Nike Zoom BB.

Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams Basketball 2006-07 Season In Review and Statistics

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Fall To Second-Ranked Tar Heels In Chapel Hill, NC

Tigers Hand Lady Rams A 76-51 Setback Tuesday In Towson, MD

CHAPEL HILL, NC – Sophomore Rashanda McCants scored 16 points to lead five Tar Heels in double figures and No. 2 North Carolina routed Winston-Salem State 83-32 on Sunday.

TOWSON, MD – Despite trailing by only five points following the halftime intermission, the Rams of Winston-Salem St Towson University (2-0) won its second straight game, a 76-51 non-conference victory over Winston-Salem State University (0-2) in the Tigers’ home opener at the Towson Center on Tuesday evening as the Lady Rams fell in defeat for the second consecutive game.

Freshman Jessica Breland came off the bench for a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Camille Little had 11 points and 12 rebounds for her 11th double-double. Erlana Larkins added 12 points and Heather Claytor 10 for North Carolina (2-0). McCants hit her first four shots, including two 3-pointers, and had 10 points in the first half. Shalonda Carter led Winston-Salem (0-1) with 12 points. North Carolina led 36-10 at halftime, despite making just 13 of its first 38 shots (34 percent). The Tar Heels were 18-for-34 (53 percent) in the second half and hit 31 of 72 shots from the field for the game. North Carolina used a 23-0 run that bridged halftime to break open the game and then closed it out with a 23-4 run. Winston-Salem went scoreless for more than nine minutes before Carter hit a jumper at 2:43 into the second half with the Rams trailing 44-12. The Lady Rams led 12-11 in rebounding for the first 12 minutes, but North Carolina dominated after that and had a 55-38 rebounding edge.

It was the first-ever meeting between the two teams and the first of a pair of games the two will play against each other this season. Towson and Winston-Salem State will meet on December 19 in WinstonSalem. After the teams exchanged baskets in the opening minute, the Tigers went on a 20-7 run over a sevenminute span to take a commanding 22-9 lead with 11:38 left in the first half as seven different Towson players recorded baskets. The Lady Rams rallied to score five straight points to cut the margin to 22-14 before a pair of free throws by sophomore Alis Freeman (Winston Churchill H.S./Potomac, Md.) and a layup by senior Kelly Robinson (Raritan H.S./Hazlet, N.J.) extended the Tiger advantage back to 26-14 with 7:51 remaining in the period. The Tigers extended their lead to as many as 15 with 2:52 remaining in the first half and led 35-20 at the intermission. Early in the second half, the Tigers upped their lead to 41-23 with 17:11 remaining before the Rams scored eight points to cut the deficit to 41-31 with 15:21 on a jumper by senior guard Kadina Baldwin (Westover H.S./Fayetteville, N.C.). However, a three-point basket by freshman guard Shanae Baker-Brice (Roosevelt H.S./Washington, D.C.) ended the Ram rally and give the Tigers a 44-31 advantage with just over 15 minutes left. Mahan made 9 of 12 shots from the floor in leading the Tigers to the victory while adding six steals. BakerBrice, who was honored as the CAA Player of the Week on Monday, scored nine points along with seven rebounds and four assists as the Tigers shot 50.0 per cent from the floor in the victory. Sophomore forward Lavontay Johnson (E.E. Waddell H.S./Charlotte, N.C.) led the Rams in the loss by scoring 14 points along with adding nine rebounds. Sophomore guard Akebia Williams (Southview H.S./ Fayetteville, N.C.) added 11 points and four rebounds for WSSU and Shalonda Carter added nine points and a dozen rebounds as each she and Johnson narrowly missed recording double-doubles on the evening. The Tigers, a quality team that handed the Georgetown Hoyas a loss in their opening game of the season, improve to 2-0 with the win, while the Lady Rams fall to 0-2 with the loss.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Seven Lady Rams Record Points As WSSU Falls To Auburn 85-47

Lady Rams Drop Tough Contest To Alabama State University 76-63

AUBURN, AL – Despite the fact that seven Lady Rams recorded at least two points, the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University fell in defeat to the Auburn University Tigers at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum on Friday evening in Auburn, Alabama as WSSU fell to 0-3 on the season.

MONTGOMERY, AL – The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams turned in a Herculean effort on Sunday evening in Montgomery, Alabama as they nearly stole a win from the Hornets of Alabama State University at the Joe L. Reed Acadome, ultimately falling in defeat by the score of 76-63.

DeWanna Bonner proved to be too much for the Lady Rams as the 6’4” sophomore guard recorded a career-high 28 points and pulled down 11 rebounds as she led four Auburn players into double figures.

The game’s final margin of 13 points in no way indicated how close the contest truly was, nor does it show the effort or poise given forth by the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University as the Lady Rams cut three double-digit leads back to as close as one point during the contest.

Auburn started the evening by scoring the game’s first 11 points before a jumper by WSSU’s Latoya Armstrong broke the Lady Rams’ scoring drought 4:09 into the contest. The Tigers would put together a 7-0 run immediately following Armstrong’s basket as Auburn pulled out to a 19-2 lead with just over 12 minutes to play in the half, opening up a lead that they would never relinquish. The final 10 minutes of the half would see the Lady Rams awaken offensively as WSSU tallied 15 points over the span. However, Auburn would answer with offensive fireworks of their own as the Tigers raced ahead to lead by as many as 29 points as they took a 46-17 lead into the locker room at halftime. Following halftime, the Lady Rams looked like an entirely different team as they very nearly mirrored Auburn’s offensive output as WSSU was outscored by only nine points, 39-30 in the final 20 minutes of play. Candace Saunders recorded all 10 of her points and all three of her rebounds in the second half of play as both she and Shalonda Carter tallied double-digit scoring performances. Carter’s 10 points and nine rebounds marks the second time this season that she has nearly recorded a double-double, missing her 32nd career double-digit scoring and rebounding performance by only one rebound. WSSU used solid defense and excellent free throw shooting to pull themselves back into the contest as Dee Stokes’ team hit 11 of their 12 shots from the charity stripe after failing to shoot a free throw in the first half of play.

The Lady Rams could have easily folded under the pressure of the unfriendly crowd at the Acadome, coupled with a double-digit deficit, yet the young WSSU team refused to quit, nearly earning their first win of the season. “We played our fannies off tonight. That is the hardest we have played all season. If we continue to do that and get better, we will win some games. I am so proud of our effort tonight” head women’s basketball coach Dee Stokes said following the game. The two teams traded baskets for the first 10 minutes of play as the Lady Rams held their first lead of the season, a four-point margin, midway through the half. However, with WSSU trailing 24-22 with 7:25 to play in the half, the Hornets raced out to a 20-5 run over the next 6:11 of play as Alabama State University led by 17 points at 44-27 with 1:14 left in the first half of play. The Lady Rams refused to quit and trimmed ASU’s lead back to only 13 points headed into the locker room at the half as WSSU found themselves trailing 46-33 at the break. WSSU wasted no time in continuing their comeback bid as the Lady Rams used the first 10 minutes of the second half to trim the lead back to an even more manageable margin as a pair of Shalonda Carter free-throws again got WSSU within one point at 54-53 with 9:31 to play in the contest. However, lack of depth on the WSSU roster would eventually be the Lady Rams’ undoing. The Lady Rams, who played only eight players in the loss, would see the Hornets close out the contest on a 22-10 run as Alabama State hung on for the 76-63 win. The win propels Alabama State University to 1-1 while the loss drops the Lady Rams to 0-4 on the season. Winston-Salem State was led by freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter’s 19 points and two rebounds as she was one of two Lady Rams to record double-digit points on the evening. Joining Sumpter in double-digits was senior forward Shalonda Carter who recorded 15 points and 12 rebounds. Alabama State was led by Essence Butler’s 19 points as she was one of three Hornets in double-figures.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Fall To 0-5 Overall With A 73-63 Loss To Johnson C. Smith

Lady Rams Basketball Nets First Division I Victory; WSSU Defeats Norfolk State 75-64 In Overtime

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Kadina Baldwin led the Lady Rams in four statistical categories with 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and three steals but the Lady Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University were too much for WSSU on Saturday as JCSU earned a 73-63 win at the C.E. Gaines Center in women’s college basketball action.

NORFOLK, VA – History was made on Monday evening in Norfolk, Virginia as the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team, under the guidance of head coach Dee Srtokes, recorded their first win in history as a Division I program as they defeated Norfolk State University 75-64 in overtime.

Baldwin, a 5’4”, senior guard led the team in four statistical categories marking the first time in the history of the women’s basketball program that a player has led the team in all four offensive statistical categories. Baldwin led three Lady Rams in double-figure scoring as Lavontay Johnson added 14 points and seven rebounds, and Shalonda Carter tallied 13 points and nine rebounds in the loss. The Lady Golden Bulls led by as many as 14 points during first-half action as they were ahead in the contest 30-16 with 4:41 to play in the first period. WSSU head coach Dee Stokes immediately made defensive adjustments that drew WSSU to within six points at 34-28 headed into the locker room at halftime. Second half action saw JCSU once again add to their lead as WSSU trailed by as many as 15 points midway through the game’s final 20 minutes of play.

The Lady Rams played only six players in the contest and held Norfolk State to a dismal 28.8% shooting performance from the floor as Winston-Salem State University forced 18 turnovers which they turned into 22 points. In stark contrast to the Lady Rams, the Spartans saw 13 roster players record playing time in the contest yet Norfolk State was unable to secure the win as WSSU outscored the home-team 14-3 in the overtime session en route to the win. “I am obviously very pleased with our effort tonight. We are affectionately calling ourselves the `Sexy Six’, and we proved tonight that even if you are down in numbers you can win. We played only six players, they played 13 and we outscored them in overtime 14-3. I couldn’t be prouder of these young ladies as we made history tonight in getting our first victory at the Division I level” WSSU head coach Dee Stokes said via phone following the game. Despite being down by as many as seven points in the first half, the Lady Rams took a seven-point lead of their own into the halftime intermission and held off a late Norfolk State University rally in the second half as the game progressed into overtime.

Again the Lady Rams would trim the lead back, cutting the deficit to as little as three points with 2:03 to play.

The contest was close for the first 40 minutes as neither team led by more than seven points. However, clutch free throw shooting and quality shot selection gave the Lady Rams a decisive 14-3 advantage in the five-minute overtime session as WSSU recorded the 75-64 win.

A layup and a pair of Whittney Barnes free throws, coupled with two points from the free throw line for Janai Jackson inside of two minutes to play, sealed the Lady Rams fate as JCSU preserved the victory.

“We rebounded well despite being out-rebounded in the game. We made shots when we had to, and made free throws. Our girls really stepped up. For some reason we shoot the ball better away from home from the free throw line and those free throws were really the key for us down the stretch. We got our first Division I victory, and I am, to say the least, very pleased, and very happy for our young ladies. I know that there are great things to come, and this is only the beginning” Stokes commented.

Leading the way for the Lady Golden Bulls was Rochelle Body who turned in 17 points and 10 rebounds as she led three Lady Golden Bulls into double-figures. In a note of interest, JCSU’s Tiana Pope, who came into the contest needing only 11 points to earn 1,000 career points, fouled out the game with only six points leaving her with 995 points for her career.

Shalonda Carter led the way for the Lady Rams as she led four WSSU players in double-figure scoring with 22 points and 10 rebounds. She was joined in double-figures by Latoya Armstrong (18 points), Richea Harris (15 points), and Kadina Baldwin (12 points). Nadege Dareus and Areya Walker led NSU with 12 points each in the loss. The win improves WSSU to 1-5 overall on the season and earns WSSU their first win as a Division I women’s basketball program. The victory also earns WSSU head coach Dee Stokes her first win at WSSU.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Hornets Slip By Lady Rams 67-51 In Women’s Basketball Action

Shalonda Carter’s 17 Points And 15 Rebounds Lead WSSU Over NJIT 72-41

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Shalonda Carter tallied 21 points and seven rebounds but the Lady Hornets of Delaware State University snuck out of the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC on Wednesday evening with a 67-51 victory over Winston-Salem State University in non-conference women’s basketball action.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Shalonda Carter’s 17 points and 15 rebounds led the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams women’s basketball team over the New Jersey Institute of Technology Highlanders at the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC on Saturday evening.

The Lady Rams led by four points at 14-10 with 13:09 to play in the first half as they looked to be in control of the tempo and momentum in front of a crowd of 1,811 fans at the C.E. Gaines Center. Following the first media timeout of the half, the Lady Hornets immediately responded with a 24-5 run that spanned the next 9:18 seconds of play as Delaware State turned a four-point deficit into a 15-point lead, a lead that they would never surrender. Delaware State increased their lead as time expired in the first half on a deep three-point field goal by Shaquana Morgan pushing the DSU cushion to 15 points, a margin that held up for the remainder of the contest. Despite stellar defensive play in the second half, the Lady Rams cut the Hornets’ lead to no less than 15 points for the remainder of the contest as DSU cruised to a 16-point victory to even their record at 2-2 on the season. Leading the way for the Lady Rams was Shalonda Carter’s game-high 21 points and seven rebounds. Carter missed only one shot on the evening turning in an eight-for-nine shooting performance from the field and chipping in with five points from the free throw line. She added seven rebounds including three on the offensive glass to easily earn player of the game honors. Lavontay Johnson joined Carter in double figures with 14 points in the loss. Delaware State University was led by Raquel Collier’s 16 points as she and three other Lady Hornets tallied double-digit scoring totals.

The Lady Rams started the contest on an 18-4 run to open up a 14-point lead that they would never relinquish en route to their second win of the season, and their second win of the Division I era at WSSU. Turning in their best shooting first half of the season, WSSU hit 43.8% of their first-half field goal attempts (14-of-32) and were able to carry their largest lead of the year into the locker room at halftime as WSSU held a 17-point advantage at 32-15 after 20 minutes of play. The second half of play would nearly mirror the contest’s first 20 minutes as the Lady Rams saw their lead shrink to as little as 13 points before mounting a 36-18 run to close the contest as they ran away with the 72-41 win. “I am real proud of our effort tonight. We wanted to come out and play extremely hard on the defensive end of the ball and we did just that. When you play defense you win games. Overall I thought it was a great team win” WSSU head coach Dee Stokes said in postgame interviews. Carter led four Lady Rams into double figures as Lavontay Johnson led all scorers with 21 points. In addition to Carter and Johnson, the Lady Rams benefited from Ja’Pel Sumpter’s and Kadina Baldwin’s 10 points in the win.

However, the similarities on paper is where the likenesses would end as the Lady Rams proved to be the more athletic team as the WSSU athleticism led to forcing 30 NJIT turnovers that were converted into 30 points.

Leading the way for the Highlanders was Lesley Hendricks who tallied 10 points in the loss as she was the only New Jersey Institute of Technology player in double-figures.

The loss drops WSSU to 1-6 on the season and snaps the Lady Rams’ one-game win streak.

It was a matchup of two teams that were very similar on paper. Neither team possessed tremendous depth, and both are making the transition to the NCAA Division I level.

winston-Salem, NC – Winston-Salem State University committed 28 turnovers which the visiting Mountaineers turned into 22 points as Appalachian State University earned a 66-52 victory over the Lady Rams at the C.E. Gaines Center in women’s basketball action on Tuesday evening.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – Kadina Baldwin (Fayetteville, NC/Westover H.S.) forced overtime with a lay-up with only one second to play in regulation, but the Lady Rams were unable to sneak out of the Hytche Center with a win as UMES outscored WSSU 10-4 in overtime to hand the Lady Rams a 54-48 loss in women’s basketball action on Saturday afternoon.

The two teams traded baskets and turnovers during a first half of play that saw the lead tied seven times and change seven times as each team committed 14 turnovers during the first 20 minutes of play. It would be ASU’s keen shooting during the half that would propel them to a seven-point lead at 31-24 headed into the locker room for the halftime intermission as the Mountaineers shot a scorching 65% (13-of-20) from the field. Second half action saw the visiting Mountaineers push their lead to as many as 17 points as ASU continued to shoot well from the field. The young Lady Rams, under the guidance of head coach Dee Stokes, never let the game get out of hand as they rallied to keep the lead near 10 points for the majority of the half. “We played better in the second half at times. We kept this game from getting out of hand. Appalachian State is a great second-half team and they tried to blow this game open and our young ladies didn’t let it happen. It was a teaching moment and we res ponded well, for that I am proud. The turnovers are a different story. We had far too many tonight and you can’t win giving that many possessions away” head coach Dee Stokes said following the game.

The Lady Rams battled back from an 11-point first half deficit to cut the lead down to two points with 3:33 left in regulation. On WSSU’s next possession senior guard Kadina Baldwin hit the game-tying bucket with one second left to tie things up at 44 and force overtime. Unfortunately for Ram fans the Lady Hawks went on to outscore WSSU 10-4 in the extra frame as UMES made 6-of-8 shots from the charity stripe to seal the win. The Lady Rams (2-8) were led by Shalonda Carter (Fayetteville, NC/Westover H.S.) who tallied yet another double-double as she recorded 18 points and 17 rebounds. Baldwin chipped in with 14 points in the contest including the three-pointer that forced overtime. UMES (4-6) was led by Kristi Veltkamp (Hudsonville, Mich./Lansing Home School), who fell one-point shy of a triple-double and finished with a career-high 11 blocks, 10 rebounds and nine points. Jasmine Speed (Chesterfield, Mich./Anchor Bay H.S.) fell one-point shy of a double-double and added a teamhigh 12 points to go along with nine rebounds and a game-high five steals. Winston-Salem State falls to 2-8 with the loss while UMES improves to 4-6 overall and have won their last four games.

The Lady Rams kept the Mountaineers close in the game’s waning moments as solid defensive play and the offense of Shalonda Carter held the game’s final margin to only 14 points as ASU earned the 66-52 win. Carter led WSSU with 22 points and eight rebounds as she was the only WSSU player in double figures. Appalachian State, a team that averages four starters in double figures was held under their average as only three players scored more than 10 points as GiGi Thomas led the Mountaineers with 16 points.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Phoenix Close Game With 16-8 Run; Defeat WSSU Lady Rams 50-42

Lady Rams Rally From 13 Points Down; Defeat Norfolk State University 56-47

ELON, NC – The Phoenix of Elon University used a 16-8 run over the final eight minutes of Tuesday evening’s game as they defeated the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University in non-conference women’s basketball action at Alumni Gymnasium in Elon, NC.

winston-salem, nc – A very young Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team, under the guidance of head coach Dee Stokes, rallied from a 13-point second-half deficit to defeat the Spartans of Norfolk State University 56-47 at the C.E. Gaines Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Lady Rams led by as many as seven points during the first half of play as Winston-Salem State University turned in their most successful shooting half of play on the season as they hit 50% of their field goal attempts, converting nine of their 18 shots.

The game looked to be over nearly as soon as it began as the Lady Rams jumped out to a 13-0 lead only 4:14 seconds into the contest as four of WSSU’s five starters scored points en route to a double-digit lead prior to Norfolk State’s first points.

Leading 16-9 with 12:54 to play in the half, the Lady Rams saw their seven-point cushion slip away as the Phoenix mounted an 8-1 run to tie the game at 17-17 with just over five minutes to play in the contest. Another Elon run, this time a 7-2 offensive outburst, gave the home-team Phoenix a five point lead headed into the locker room at halftime as WSSU trailed 26-21. First-half action would be decided by the two teams’ benches as Elon was the beneficiary of 14 bench points while the Lady Rams starters scored all 21 of WSSU’s points during the game’s first 20 minutes of play. Second-half action would nearly mirror the first half of play as the two teams traded baskets and tried, unsuccessfully, to take over control of the contest. Neither team led by more than six points during the first 15 minutes of the half as the Lady Rams deadlocked the contest at 34-34 with 11:57 left in the contest on a jump shot by Lavontay Johnson. The Johnson bucket would be the last points that the Lady Rams would earn in a span of 4:06 as Elon scored seven consecutive points, all part of their game-clinching 16-8 run to close the game, en route to securing the 50-42 win. The Phoenix were led by Tierra Bumbrey’s 12 points as she led all scorers. The Lady Rams were led by Candace Saunders and Keoshia Worthy who each recorded a team-high 10 points in the contest. WSSU’s Shalonda Carter was held to only six points in the contest as she turned in her lowest offensive output in 18 games dating back to last season when she was held to only five points versus the Lady Eagles of North Carolina Central University in Durham, NC on February 4, 2006. The loss drops the Lady Rams to 2-9 on the season while the Phoenix improve to 5-4 overall with the win.

Following the game’s first media timeout the Spartans took the WSSU lead away as quickly as the Lady Rams had built it as NSU mounted a 13-0 run of their own to tie the contest at 13-13 with 11:23 remaining in the first half of play. The two teams traded pairs of baskets over the next two minutes of play before the Spartans mounted their second run of the game as they closed the first half with a 14-1 run, enabling NSU to take a 13-point advantage into the locker room at halftime leading 34-21. Second-half action belonged to the Lady Rams as WSSU outscored the Spartans 35-13 over the game’s final 20 minutes of play en route to earning their third victory of the season. A Shalonda Carter basket with 5:07 to play in the game gave the Lady Rams their first lead of the second half at 45-44 as WSSU retook a lead that they would never relinquish. Following Carter’s basket the Lady Rams mounted their final run of the game, a 9-1 stretch that sealed the nine-point win and earned WSSU their third win of the season, and second over NSU. “We started with a bang, jumping out 13-0, but then we gave it all back. However, we are a young team, and despite that, our kids showed a lot of character, passion, and pride, and I’m very happy with our effort, particularly in the second half of play. This is a good win for us.” WSSU head coach Dee Stokes said in post game interviews. The Lady Rams were led by Lavontay Johnson (Charlotte, NC/E.E. Waddell H.S.) who tallied a team-high 13 points and led four players in double-figures. She was joined by Candace Saunders (12), Keoshia Worthy (11), and Shalonda Carter (10) who each scored ten or more points. Carter recorded yet another double-double as she pulled down 12 rebounds to go with her 10 points. Norfolk State was led by Ashley Green’s 14 points as she was the lone Spartan to break the double-digit scoring barrier.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Let One Sneak Away As Towson Defeats WSSU 57-50

Lady Rams Basketball Downs Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 59-50

winston-salem, nc – The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams saw a win slip away on Tuesday evening at the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC as the Towson University Tigers rallied from a five-point deficit with under seven minutes to play to hand WSSU a 57-50 loss.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL – The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team, on the road 560 miles from the friendly confines of the C.E. Gaines Center, earned another road win over a MidEastern Athletic Conference opponent on Thursday evening as they downed the Wildcats of BethuneCookman College by the score of 59-50 in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The Tigers jumped out to an early 5-0 lead only 90 seconds into the contest before the Lady Rams rallied to take their first lead in a half that changed hands nine times. WSSU would ultimately settle down offensively en route to holding a two-point lead at the contest’s intermission as the Lady Rams led by a field goal at 28-26. Second half action saw the lead change hands seven more times as neither team established control of the game as the two teams were deadlocked with just over 13 minutes to play. The Lady Rams, behind the solid play of senior forward Shalonda Carter (Fayetteville, NC) and a pair of three-point field goals from Latoya Armstrong (Rocky Mount, NC) took a late-game seven-point lead at 46-39 with 9:22 remaining in the contest.

The Lady Rams got off to a slow start in the early-going as the Wildcats jumped out to an early 14-4 lead with 13:59 remaining in the first half of play as it looked as though the road-weary Lady Rams would struggle against Bethune-Cookman. Following a timeout, WSSU head coach Dee Stokes made significant lineup changes and the Lady Rams mounted a rally that would see them take a five-point lead at 29-24 with 3:13 remaining in the first half as the Lady Rams would never trail again in the contest.

WSSU led the game by four points with 5:39 left to play before a late-game Towson run propelled the Tigers to the come-from-behind win.

“We are now 3-2 against the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and that shows how, even at this early stage in the Division I process, we are having success. I am very happy with how we responded tonight as we earned an important road win. I wasn’t happy with how we played in the first half but we made personnel changes and went with a four-guard lineup and we had some players really step up tonight in order for us to get the win.” WSSU head coach Dee Stokes said in postgame interviews.

Free throws from Alis Freeman and Kandace Davis, and timely baskets from Shanae Baker-Brice would help the Tigers to mount a 13-2 run to close the contest as they earned their eighth win of the season.

WSSU took a three-point advantage into the locker room at halftime as the Lady Rams steadfastly held to a 31-28 lead.

“I told our team in the locker room that players make plays down the stretch. You can’t play for 36 minutes and 30 seconds and not execute down the stretch. Holly Mahan of Towson found a way to help her team win. We took her out of the game offensively and that was our goal but she found a way to help her team by rebounding. That is what good teams and good players do. My hat is off to Towson. Joe [Towson head coach Joe Matthews] has done an outstanding job there and they are a very good team who is headed in the right direction. I told my players that we played very hard and just did not execute down the stretch and that is what cost us the win.” head coach Dee Stokes said in postgame interviews.

The Lady Rams saw their lead grow as large as 10 points on a pair of Kadina Baldwin free throws late in the second half as Winston-Salem State dominated the second 20 minutes of play en route to the nine-point victory.

The Tigers were led by Holly Mahan’s 13 points as she was the only Towson player to score in doublefigures. The Rams were led by Shalonda Carter’s game-high 16 points and 13 rebounds as she tallied her sixth double-double of the 2006-07 season. The loss drops the Lady Rams to 3-10 on the season while Towson University improves to 8-1 overall (1-0 CAA) with the win.

The win improves the Lady Rams to 4-10 overall while the loss drops Bethune-Cookman College to 2-7 on the season. Leading the way for the Lady Rams was Latoya Armstrong and her team-high 14 points. Joining Armstrong in double figures was Shalonda Carter who recorded her second consecutive double-double and eighth double-double of the season as she recorded 13 points and 11 rebounds. Kadina Baldwin added 11 points as she was the third, and final, WSSU player in double-digits. Bethune-Cookman College was led by Natasha Ferguson’s 17 points in the loss. “Latoya Armstrong hit a bit three in the corner, Kadina Baldwin hit several big shots and Shalonda played well again tonight. We had players really step up and we earned this win. I am very happy with the win and we will now have a few days off for the holidays and then we will resume playing again next week. I am proud of the effort our players put forth and we can enjoy this win over the break.”

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Nearly Knock Off Virginia Tech; WSSU Falls 43-33

Lady Rams Fall To New Hampshire At Lady Luck Classic 63-55

BLACKSBURG, Va – Virginia Tech survived a serious scare from the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams in the first round of the 2006 Lady Luck Classic, but a late second half run lifted the Hokies over the Lady Rams by the score of 43-33. The win improves Virginia Tech’s record to 8-5 and keeps its winning streak in the Lady Luck tournament alive at 17 games. Winston-Salem State falls to 4-11 with the loss in front of 3,250 fans at Cassell Coliseum.

BLACKSBURG, Va – New Hampshire used solid shooting from both the field and the free throw line to steadily build a lead as large as 15 points on its way to a 63-55 victory over Winston-Salem State University Friday evening in the consolation game of the 17th-annual Virginia Tech University Lady Luck Classic.

The Hokies found themselves facing their largest deficit of the game, 31-22, with 11:30 remaining to play in the contest as the Lady Rams looked as though they were going to knock off the ACC’c Hokies. The tournament hosts found themselves in the predicament after failing to make a shot from the field in the first 9:30 of the second half, going 0-for-9 from the floor. Freshman Lindsay Biggs sank Tech’s first shot of the second half, a 3-pointer from the corner, to jumpstart the Hokies. After a defensive stop, fellow freshman Eleanor Brentnall followed that by taking the ball inside and grabbing her own offensive rebound three times before finally getting the ball to drop bringing the Hokies to within four points. With the momentum from Biggs’ shot and Brentnall’s effort play, Tech head coach Beth Dunkenberger went back to her upperclassmen at that point and they finished off the run. All told, the Hokies closed the game with a 21-2 run to capture the 43-33 win. The Lady Rams shot just 3-of-27 in the second half and scored only seven points, which gave Tech the opportunity to claw back into the game. Tech didn’t shoot much better, going just 7-of-26, but it was enough to move on to the championship game against Detroit. The Hokies scored the first six points of the game on a 3-point play by Nare Diawara and a 3-pointer by Laura Haskins. However, over the next 17 minutes, the rest of the first half, the Lady Rams doubled up the Hokies 26-13. Winston-Salem State led at halftime 26-19 by making four more field goals than the Hokies and committing four fewer turnovers.

The Wildcats (5-6) shot an even 50 percent for the game, and hit 8-of-9 shots from the charity stripe to bounce back from Thursday’s 54-50 loss to Detroit. Although Winston-Salem State (4-12) caused five more turnovers than their counterparts and led in points off turnovers, New Hampshire held advantages in points in the paint (30-20), bench points (24-11) and rebounds (34-26). The Lady Rams jumped out to an 11-4 lead to start the game, but New Hampshire countered with a 12-4 run of their own to take over, 16-15. A Richea Harris jumper briefly put Winston-Salem State back up, 17-16, but New Hampshire’s Candace Williams answered right back with a three-pointer to give the Wildcats a lead that they would not relinquish. New Hampshire gradually built the margin up to 15 points, 57-42, with 5:41 remaining in the second period. Winston-Salem State went on a 13-6 run to end the game and set the final score of 63-55. Williams and Danielle Flowers each netted 13 points for the Wildcats, while Amy Simpson added 10. Whitney Edwards dished out a game-high six assists. Shalonda Carter paced the Lady Rams with game-highs of 14 points and six rebounds in 38 minutes, and Kadina Davis chipped in 11 points.

For the game, Diawara was the only Hokie in double figures with 17 points and 11 rebounds, the second double-double of her career. The Lady Rams were led by Lavontay Johnson who tallied 10 points in the contest as she was the only WSSU player to score in double-figures. Shalonda Carter chipped in with eight points and 15 rebounds in the narrow loss. The two teams combined to set a new record for the lowest combined score in the Lady Luck Classic with their 76 total points. Entering the day, the previous low for two teams was 109 points, set by the Hokies and the University of North Carolina in the 1994 championship game. That dubious record was broken in the first game of the day when New Hampshire and Detroit combined for 104 points. The Hokies and Lady Rams then shattered that short-lived record with their 76-combined-point performance.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews WSSU’s Comeback Falls Short; Lady Rams Drops A 61-56 To USC-Aiken

Lady Rams Battle, Fall To Georgia Tech, 75-43

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Kadina Baldwin’s 23 points were not enough to guarantee the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University a celebration on New Year’s Eve as the Lady Pacers of USC-Aiken handed WSSU a 61-56 defeat at the C.E. Gaines Center on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Pacers jumped out to an early seven-point lead less than five minutes into the contest as USCAiken never trailed in the game. USC-Aiken increased their lead to as many as 16 points with 2:10 left in the first half of play as they took a 12-point cushion to the locker room at halftime, leading their Lady Ram hosts 38-26. Second-half action saw the Lady Rams cut the USC-Aiken lead to eight points seven times in the half, eventually shaving their deficit to as little as six points with 2:33 left to play in the contest. A pair of Megan Starnes free throws would seal WSSU’s fate as the Lady Rams dropped the five-point decision to the Lady Pacers. Kadina Baldwin led the Lady Rams with 23 points, including three three-pointers, to lead all scorers. Baldwin added four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in the losing effort. Joining Baldwin in double figures was Shalonda Carter who recorded 15 points and nine rebounds. USC-Aiken was led by three players who tallied 11 points in the contest as Mindy Allee, Meredith Legg, and Nola Grant all scored in double-digits.

Atlanta, GA – The Lady Rams of Winston-Salem (4-14) State put up quite a fight, but were outmuscled by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-5, 0-1 ACC) by a score of 75-43, Thursday. After playing tough for the first half, the Lady Rams ran out of gas in the second half to take the loss. Despite some quality play on defense and a “never quit” attitude, the Lady Rams were not enough to match a hot shooting Georgia Tech team that shot 46% from the field and forced 22 WSSU turnovers. It was a tough second half that sealed the Lady Rams’ fate with Georgia Tech outscoring Winston-Salem State, 42-22 and pulling away with the win. Sophomore forward Candace Saunders led the way for the Lady Rams with nine points and six rebounds in the contest. Senior center Shalonda Carter added eight points and 10 rebounds in the game as well while sophomore guard Richea Harris and junior guard Keoshia Worthy added eight points each in the contest as well. The Lady Rams played some tough defense in the half, but headed into the locker room trailing by 11. The team’s tough defense paid off early forcing Georgia Tech into a lot of mistakes and taking an early 5-4 lead on a jumper by junior guard Keoshia Worthy at the 15:50 mark. Things looked good for the Lady Rams as the team kept pace with their ACC foes for much of the half and remained within five for the first ten minutes of the half as a lay-up by senior center Shalonda Carter kept the Lady Rams within three points, 15-12 with 10:29 left in the half. The Lady Rams took great care of the ball, giving up just one turnover in the first five. The Yellow Jackets then took the game inside sparking a 10-3 run that put the game into the Tech’s hands and put the Yellow Jackets on top, 25-15 with just over seven minutes left in the half. It was then that Georgia Tech would mount a 10-3 run and take control of the contest, 25-15 with just over seven minutes left in the half. The Lady Rams were outmuscled down the stretch of the half as Georgia Tech turned to its powerful inside game to stay ahead of the Lady Rams, scoring their next three field goals in the paint and outscoring the Rams 18-6 in the paint for the half. Despite some tough defense on both sides, the Lady Rams took a 33-21 deficit into the locker room at the half. The second half began much like the first half as both teams came out hitting early baskets, however the Hornets kept their run going little longer outscoring the Lady Rams, 15-4 over the first five minutes of the half and taking a 48-27 advantage with 12:16 left in the game. Following a WSSU timeout, the Lady Rams would get things better on offense scoring field goals on their next two trips up the floor, but were unable to stop the Yellow Jackets from matching each basket and keeping the game out of reach for the Lady Rams, 59-37 with 7:34 left in the game. Georgia Tech would pull away down the stretch of the game as a 10-5 run over the next five minutes proved to be too much for the Lady Rams. The team ended the night with a 75-43 loss, the team’s fourth in a row.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Second Half Dooms Lady Rams Vs. Livingstone, 72-61

Lady Rams fall at Radford, 72-48

winston-salem, nc – The second half did no favors for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (4-15), Saturday as the team took a 72-61 home loss to the Livingstone Lady Blue Bears (4-6) at the C.E. Gaines Center. After controlling the entire first half and taking a commanding 34-29 first half lead, the Lady Rams were outscored 43-27 in the second half. The Lady Rams had a host troubles in the game, but continued to battle to the end. The biggest issue for the team turned out to be the team’s 27% shooting from the field and 17 turnovers. The game turned out to be the story of two halves with the Lady Rams shooting 41% from the field in the first half, but 20% in the second half. Also troubling the squad was the team’s 26 total fouls and three foul outs, including their two best post players. The game turned out to be a “foul” affair for both sides of the ball with the two teams combining for 56 fouls and five fouls outs.

radford, va – A strong defensive effort was not enough as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (4-16) took a 72-48 loss to the Radford Highlanders (7-6), Tuesday night at the Dedmon Center on the campus of Radford University. The Lady Rams turned up the defense forcing the Highlanders to shoot 42% from the field and forced 20 turnovers, but foul troubles, along with some offensive drought proved too much of a mountain for the Lady Rams to climb as they ended the day with the loss. Senior center Shalonda Carter led the way for the Lady Rams with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and two blocks off the bench, but the effort was not enough. Freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter, along with junior guard Latoya Armstrong added eight points each in the game for the Lady Rams. Sophomore forward Candace Saunders added 11 rebounds as well.

Livingstone College was led by freshman guard Jonta Moss’ 20 points while senior guard Lamika Davis added 14 points. Sophomore guard Chelsea Johnson added 13 points in the contest as well.

The first half turned out to be a story of runs with the two teams trading scoring runs and forcing an up-tempo contest that saw few fouls, but number of missed shots. The Lady Rams scored the first basket of the contest, but missed the their next three shots giving up an 8-0 run by the Highlanders and falling behind, 8-2 through the first three minutes of the game. The WSSU continued to struggle while the Highlanders continued to run off a 16-3 lead, forcing a Lady Ram time out at the 14:45 mark. The offense struggled early in the game hitting just one field goal in the first five minutes of the game. Carter would end the scoreless skid by the Lady Rams scoring a lay-up that cut the WSSU deficit down to just 11 points, 16-5 with 12:57 left in the first half.

The game was a tight affair early with neither team leading by more than three points nearly the entire first half. A three-pointer by senior guard Latoya Armstrong at the 14:58 mark put the Lady Rams on top, 9-6. Saunders added another free throw on minute later to put the Lady Rams in control of the game, 10-6. However, the Lady Blue Bears would not go away staying within four points until a pair of Carter free throws at the 1:43 mark gave the Lady Rams their biggest lead of the contest, 32-26. Though the Lady Bears did hit three free throws in the final minute of the half to cut the WSSU lead down to three points with 00:33 left, a Saunders lay-up with 00:16 on the clock left the Lady Rams leading 34-29 at the half.

Carter would answer the call for the Lady Rams blocking a pair of Radford shots and sparking a six-point WSSU run that pulled the Lady Rams back into the game, 16-9 with 10:50 left in the half. In keeping with the theme of the first half, Radford responded scoring five unanswered points and regaining control of the game, 21-9 with just over nine minutes left in the half. The fast paced game led to missed opportunities at both ends as both Radford and WSSU struggling to find the basket in the next few minutes. Fouls and missed shots marked the final minutes of the half as the Lady Rams totaled just one field, but four fouls in the final three minutes of the half and took a 37-20 deficit into the locker room at the half.

The second half turned out to be a whole different story with Livingstone opening the half with a 13-2 run that including three consecutive three-pointers by freshman guard Jonta Moss and left the Lady Rams trailing 42-36 with just over 15 minutes left in the game. The Lady Blue Bears kept up the offensive output going ahead by as much as 15 points, 54-39 with 12 minutes left in the game, but the Lady Rams would fight back.

The second half began in the same way that the first half ended with both teams pushing the ball with a lot of miscues. The two teams combined for just four field goals and five fouls in the first five minutes of the half, unfortunately for the Lady Rams, four of the fouls were against them. Radford went on to hit three of four free throws and stay on top, 42-26 with 15:29 left in the game. The pace of the game would slow down a bit with the Lady Rams turning up the defensive effort and cutting their deficit down to just 11 points, 46-35 on a lay-up by Armstrong. However, Radford would answer running off five unanswered points to stay on top, 51-35 with 10:06 left in the game.

Leading the way for the Lady Rams was sophomore center Lavantay Johnson’s 15 points and 16 rebounds in the contest. Sophomore forward Candace Saunders added 12 points and five rebounds, while freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter adding 10 points as well.

Following foul outs by both Carter and Saunders, Johnson would lead the WSSU comeback effort scoring in back-to-back trips up the court and hitting a pair of free throws that cut the Lady Rams’ deficit to just 11 points with 5:55 left in the game. Following a Harris lay-up, Johnson would score once again to pull the Lady Rams to within five points, 64-59 with 2:55 left to play. However, the effort would fall short in the final minutes with the Lady Rams being outscored 6-2 in the final two minutes and ended the day with the loss.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Fall To Maryland-eastern Shore, 62-49

Lady Rams Fight Savannah State For 66-58 Win

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – In one of the most intensely battled games of the season, the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (4-17) took a 62-49 loss to the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Lady Hawks (6-10, 1-2 MEAC), Saturday afternoon at the C.E. Gaines Center. The two teams made Women’s Community Day an exciting affair with clutch shooting a staunch defense highlighting Saturday’s game.

Savannah, GA – The streak is over as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (5-17) scored a 66-58 win over the Savannah State Lady Tigers, Saturday afternoon. It was a huge first half effort that sparked the WSSU win as the Lady Rams outscored the Tigers 36-24 in the first half and fought off a furious second half comeback effort to take the win.

The game was a defensive battle with the two teams forcing a combined five blocked shots and 48 turnovers in the game. Both teams shot over 30% from the three-point line as well. Senior guar d Kadina Baldwin led the way for the Lady Rams with 12 points in the game, while sophomores Keoshia Worthy and Lavontay Johnson added 10 points each. Sophomore guard Richea Harris added nine points. Sophomore forward Candace Saunders led the WSSU rebounding effort with nine rebounds in the contest.

One of the team’s better efforts of the season keyed the win as the team forced 28 Savannah State turnovers and took 24 more shot than the home team to pull out the win. Three Lady Rams reached double-digit scoring in the contest with sophomore forward Lavontay Johnson’s 13 points leading the way. Johnson also added seven rebounds and one blocked shot. Seniors Shalonda Carter and Latoya Armstrong added 11 points each as well. Armstrong also recorded three key steals that helped pull out the win for the Lady Rams.

The game was a “see-saw” affair from the beginning with UMES jumping out to an early 14-4 lead with 13:12 left in the first half. The Lady Rams would not back down, however, scoring five unanswered points and cutting the WSSU deficit in half, 9-14, with 9:55. It was a Baldwin three-pointer that capped the run. Though the Lady Hawks continued to pour on the offensive attack, the Lady Rams never backed down as a lay-up by sophomore forward Lavontay Johnson kept the Lady Rams to within three points, 18-21 with 6:36 left in the first half. The Lady Rams stayed within striking distance for the rest of the half as the team never fell behind by more than five points for the rest of the half. Sophomore guard Richea Harris would be the heroine of the half hitting a three-pointer with three seconds left in the half that put the Lady Rams on top, 29-28 at halftime, the team’s first lead since 1-0 just over two minutes into the game. There was a much different story in the second half as the Lady Rams held their lead for just over five minutes and were never able to get back into the contest. An offensive drought by the Lady Rams offense in the second half would turn out to be the culprit in Saturday’s loss as the team recorded just one field goal during a 13-minute span that left the team trailing, 40-48 with just over five minutes left in the half. The team did battle in the final minutes, but some clutch defense and free throw shooting in the final minutes sealed the deal for WSSU in the game. In the final two minutes of the game, the Lady Hawks hit eight-of-10 free throws in the final 1:30 seconds of the game to stall the WSSU comeback effort. With the loss, the Lady Rams fall to 4-17 this season and take their seventh straight loss of the season.

The Lady Rams dominated the Lady Tigers on defense in the first half forcing 17 SSU first half turnovers and allowing just 26 SSU shots for the half. The defense turned out to be the key to the half with the Lady Rams only trailing just once in the first half. The half began with strong defensive play on both ends as the two teams combined for just one field goal and a combined two blocked shots and three steals in the first four minutes of play. Senior guard Latoya Armstrong scored the first points of the game after about two minutes into the game, but SSU tied the game once again on a lay-up on the inside two minutes later. The Lady Rams did manage a bit of a run outscoring SSU 12-2 and taking a 12-6 lead. Savannah State would battle back with a run of its own scoring five unanswered points and cutting the WSSU lead to just one point, 12-11 with 11:40 left in the first half. It was then that Johnson would take over the game hitting a pair of three-pointers and sparking an 11-0 Lady Ram run and put the team ahead 26-15 with just over seven minutes left in the first half. The Lady Rams hit the brakes a bit down the stretch of the half, but stayed on top 29-19 on a threepointer by Armstrong with just under four minutes left in the half. The team continued to roll in the final minutes taking a 36-24 lead into the locker room at halftime. The 36-point effort was the team’s highest first half point total for the first half of any game this season. The Lady Rams’ defense would crack once more with SSU tying the game 45-45 with 7:59 left in the game. Senior center Shalonda Carter would sore back-to-back lay-ups to keep the Lady Rams in the game, but would see Savannah State answer each basket to keep the game tied, 51-51 with 5:32 left in the game. However, a Savannah State three-pointer a minute later kept the home team in the lead, 54-52 with just under four minutes left. Carter would get a key steal and lay-up that tied the game once again and gave the Lady Rams a chance to win the game. Freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter would hit a key shot of her own putting the Lady Rams on top, 56-54 with three minutes left to play. The final two minutes were filled with action as the Lady Rams would keep the two-point cushion with Savannah State missing a pair of free throws that could have tied the game. Sophomore guard Keshia Worthy and senior guard Kadina Baldwin would seal the game scoring three unanswered lay-ups that sealed the game 64-58 with thirty seconds left in the game. With the win, the Lady Rams improve to 5-17 on the season, snap a five-game losing streak, and scored their first road win of 2007. The team last tasted victory on the road on December 21st at BethuneCookman.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Fall at Delaware State, 67-53

Lady Rams Battle Wake Forest to Overtime, Fall to Demon Deacons, 82-66

Dover, DE – It takes a bit more than determination to score wins as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (5-18) showed a lot of heart, but took a 67-53 loss to the Delaware State Hornets (8-10, 4-3 MEAC), Wednesday night. A valiant effort at both ends of the floor would go unrewarded for the Lady Rams as they team suffered its first road loss against a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference team this season.

winston-salem, nc – Any questions about the Lady Rams’ place in NCAA Division I were answered Friday night when the Winston-Salem State took Atlantic Coast Conference foe Wake Forest to the wire battling to the very end of an 82-66 overtime loss as the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Though the team fought tooth and nail for the entire contest, they ran out of gas in the extra session to end the day with the loss. After battling cross-town rival Wake Forest to a 65-65 tie in regulation, the team went without a field goal in overtime and was outscored 17-1 to take the loss.

The Lady Rams battled for all 40 minutes forcing 16 DSU turnovers, but were unable to overcome a Delaware State squad that shot 41.9% from the field in the contest. Senior center Shalonda Carter had a big night for the Lady Rams with 14 points, five rebounds and a pair of blocks in the game. Senior guard Kadina Baldwin continued her string of strong games with 11 points and six rebounds in the contest. Sophomore guard Keoshia Worthy added 10 points in the contest. The first half turned out to be a story of runs with both teams going on runs to challenge for the lead in the game. It was Delaware State, who got out first jumping out to a quick 6-2 lead and forcing WSSU turnovers on two of the Lady Rams’ first three possessions. The Lady Rams would answer with a pair of unanswered baskets to tie the game, but the team was unable to wrest the lead from the Hornets. Delaware State was able to regain control of the contest with a 12-2 run that put the Lady Rams down, 18-8 with 12:44 left in the half. The Lady Rams continued to battle scoring three unanswered field goals and going three-of-four on consecutive free throws to get back into the game, 22-17 with 8:19 left in the half. The Lady Rams continued to battle down the stretch of the half, but were unable to keep up with DSU junior guard Racquel Collier eight of the Hornets’ next 10 points during a 13-3 DSU run that left the Lady Rams trailing 35-20 with just under three minutes left in the half. The final two minutes of the half saw the Lady Rams struggle on offense, but staying in the game forcing three DSU fouls and hitting a pair of free throws in the final two minutes of the half. Though the team put up a strong effort, the DSU offense continued to operate and left the Lady Rams trailing 41-27 at the half. The story of the half was told on the halftime boxscore that showed the Hornets’ blistering 53.1% field goal percentage for the half. Turnovers dominated the start of the second half with the two teams combining for just two field goals, but six turnovers in the first three minutes of the half. Johnson would get the WSSU offense going hitting a lay-up with just under 15 minutes left in the game leaving the Lady Rams behind, 47-31 with 14:36 left to play. The two teams would turn up the offense with the two teams combining for 23 points in the next four minutes of play, but the run would do little for the Lady Rams who found themselves trailing 58-43 with 10:15 left in the game. Delaware State would extend their lead to as much as 19 points, 62-43 with just over eight minutes left in the half, but the Lady Rams continued to fight down the stretch of the game forcing three scoreless DSU possessions, but were unable to take advantage of the tough defense also going scoreless on their possessions as well. The Lady Rams were able to string a pair of unanswered field goals and cut the deficit to down to 16 points, 64-48 with 4:41 left in the game. The game’s final minutes saw the Lady Rams continue to chip away at the DSU lead with Baldwin and Carter scoring a pair of back-to-back baskets in the final minute to cut the WSSU deficit down to 14 points, 67-53 with 00:34 left in the game. The score would remain as the clock ran out on a Baldwin buzzer-beater attempt.

The Lady Rams battled from the very beginning of the contest challenging the much larger Demon Deacons at every turn. It was solid defensive play early that got things going for the Lady Rams as the team allowed just one Wake Forest field goal in the first three minutes of the game and jumped out to a 6-2 lead early on. It was Johnson who got things started for the Lady Rams hitting a pair of three pointers to open the game and gave WSSU itss early lead. Though Wake Forest would settle down and score a pair of baskets of their own, the Lady Rams were able to stay on top with sophomore guard Keoshia Worthy hitting a jumper with just over 13 minutes left to play extended the Lady Rams’ lead 12-6. By the time senior guard Latoya Armstrong hit a jumper just outside the lane, the Lady Rams found themselves trailing, 16-14 with 7:16 left in the half. It was Johnson who would answer the call for the Lady Rams hitting her third three-pointer of the half and pulling the Lady Rams to within one point, 18-17 with 5:18 left in the half. Though the second half began much like the first half, things would soon change for the Lady Rams. Baldwin was able to erase the Wake Forest lead early in the half hitting a runner in the lane during the 18th minute of the half. She would do the same a minute later answering a Demon Deacon basket, but it was then that things got tough for the Lady Rams. Wake Forest would mount a 10-0 run and retook control of the contest, 37-27 with 14:53 left in regulation and retaking control of the game. As with the rest of the contest, it was defense that keyed the run shutting down the WSSU offense once again, not allowing a WSSU field goal in the run. Carter would continue the WSSU charge pulling the Lady Rams to within one point with a lay-up with just under seven minutes left to play, 49-48. She then repeated the act just a minute later to put the Lady Rams back on top, 51-50 with 6:16 left in the game. It was a tough defensive stand that keyed the Winston-Salem State lead as the team forced turnovers and fouls on three straight Wake Forest possessions and hit five free throws to grab a lead of their own, 55-51 with 5:11 left to play. Still, the home team continued to fight tying the game once again, 55-55 with just over four minutes left in regulation on a pair of free throws and a jumper that tied the game once again. The game’s final minutes were as intense as the rest of the game with sophomore guard Akebia Williams hitting a three-pointer that put the team ahead 57-55. Williams added another three points just a few seconds later with a lay-up and free throw that put the Lady Rams ahead 60-58 with 2:04 left in regulation. The battle continued into the final minute of regulation with each team grabbing a lead in the final minute. The Demon Deacons would hit one of two free throws that could have put the game away and sophomore guard Keoshia Worthy made them pay for it, hitting a lay-up with 00:04 left on the clock that sent the game into overtime. The Lady Rams did force a Wake Forest turnover on the next possession and had a chance to win the game with 00:02 left in regulation, but suffered a turnover of their own at the buzzer. Wake Forest dominated the overtime period allowing no WSSU field goals and outscoring the Lady Rams 17-1 in the extra period to walk away with the win. Though the Lady Rams ended the night with the loss, the team’s message was received loud and clear. Wake Forest was the second ACC team that the Lady Rams battled close, falling to Virginia Tech by just 10 points, 43-33 earlier this season.

WSSU Lady Rams 2006-07 Game Reviews Lady Rams Outgunned at Navy, 58-39

Lady Rams Grind Out Win at Morgan State, 71-66

annapolis, md – There were just too many hills for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (5-20) to overcome Tuesday night as the team took its third straight loss, falling to the Navy Midshipmen (9-12) by as score of 58-39. The problems started early for the Lady Rams as only seven players suited for the team with two more players getting sidelined during the course of the game.

Baltimore, MD – The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (6-20) would not be denied Saturday afternoon when the team took a 71-66 win over the Morgan State Lady Bears (10-9, 5-4 MEAC). Though the team battled a tough Morgan State team that mounted run after run, the team countered with clutch play and determination to come away with the win. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Lady Rams and gave the team its first road win since January 20th at Savannah State.

Injuries and foul troubles plagued a Lady Rams squad that totaled just 39 points for the game and allowed three different Navy runs of over 10 points or more. For the game, the Lady Rams shot just 29% from the field and were outrebounded 45-30, while the Midshipmen shot 39% from the field. Sophomore guard Keoshia Worthy led the way for the Lady Rams with 10 points in the game, but was sidelined with a second half injury. Fellow sophomore forward Lavontay Johnson led the Rams’ rebounding effort with eight boards in the contest. The Lady Rams opened the game with some solid play at both ends of the floor as freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter’s running jumper in the lane gave the team an 8-4 lead with 15:42 left on the clock. The team would grab a big lead early as a jumper by senior center Shalonda Carter gave the team a 12-4 lead with just over 14 minutes left in the first half. The team scored six unanswered points to grab the early lead. However, the run did not last for the Lady Rams as the team went cold going nearly seven minutes without a score and allowing a 19-0 Navy run that left the Lady Rams trailing, 21-14 when freshman guard Ja’Pel Sumpter hit a pair of free throws that snapped the Lady Rams’ 10-minute scoring drought that left the team trailing 23-14 with 3:53 left in the half. The free throws did give the team a big lift as they were followed by a pair of WSSU baskets, a lay-up by sophomore guard Keoshia Worthy and a jumper by senior guard Kadina Baldwin that pulled the Lady Rams back into the game 23-15 with just under three minutes left in the game. However, the Midshipmen would answer back in the final minute of the half, controlling the ball for nearly the entire 60 seconds and hitting a jumper at the buzzer that left the Lady Rams trailing, 30-20 at the half. For the half, the Lady Rams shot 37% from the field with 10 turnovers and had four players with four points each in the period. With only seven players available to start the game, foul troubles crept up on the Lady Rams with senior center Shalonda Carter picking up her third foul in the first minute of the second half. The foul was the first of two WSSU fouls to start the second half. Hampered by the early foul troubles, the Lady Rams found offense tough to find early on with just one field goal in the first four minutes of the half while the Midshipmen continued to roll going on a 10-2 run and extending their lead to 18 points, 40-22 with 15:48 left in the half. Ironically, it was Worthy, who hit the team’s first field goal of the half, which would get the team going hitting a lay-up with just over 14 minutes left that snapped the Navy run. Carter would continue the push for the Lady Rams hitting a tough jumper a minute later and cutting the WSSU deficit down to 14 points, 40-26. The WSSU foul trouble began to show effects with the Midshipmen able to score almost at will in the paint with Carter’s fouls, the Lady Rams’ offense once again found scoring tough going four minutes without a field goal and allowing the Midshipmen to run off a 10-3 run. Combined with the previous run, the Lady Rams were outscored 20-5 during a span of eight minutes in the second half and put the game out of the Lady Rams’ reach. With victory unlikely for the squad, the Lady Rams continued to battle down the stretch of the contest as senior guard Latoya Armstrong’s jumper with just over four minutes left the Lady Rams with a 56-33 deficit. Though the team was able to outscore the Midshipmen, 6-2 in the final minutes of the contest, the effort was not enough as the Lady Rams ended the night with the 58-39 loss.

The team got off to an extremely slow start with senior guard Latoya Armstrong hitting the first points of the game for the Lady Rams, but by that time, nearly four minutes had past and the Lady Rams found themselves trailing 10-2. From there, the Lady Rams showed the toughness and determination that had defined the team all season long, tying the game, 17-17, on a three-pointer by senior guard Latoya Armstrong at the 12:00 mark. Though Morgan State would fight back outscoring the Lady Rams 6-2 and regaining control of the contest. 23-19, it was Carter would then take control of the contest, scoring six of her 10 points for the half during a five minute span that saw the Lady Rams regain the lead 33-32 with just over two minutes left in the game. Morgan State would respond, however tightening up the defense and holding the Lady Rams scoreless for the final two minutes of the game and pulling out to a 39-33 lead at the half.

Morgan State would continue to roll pushing their lead to as much as 13 points, 50-37, but Carter would once again pull the Lady Rams back into the contest scoring 10 of the team’s 17 points to keep the team within eight points with 11:27 left in the game.

Media Information ELECTRONIC MEDIA REGULATIONS Winston-Salem State University Athletics has its own home page on the Internet (www.WSSURAMS.com). With the recent growth of the World Wide Web, the following policies have been adopted by Winston-Salem State University for both credentialing and allowing access to practice and interviews. Nothing in this policy creates any right, entitlement, or interest in the media credentials to anyone or any entity, as this is a guideline only. The final decision for media credentials remains the sole and exclusive discretion of Chris Zona, WSSU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations. These guidelines are intended to provide the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations with guidance in exercising sole and exclusive discretion as to who will be issued media credentials, but are guidelines only. They are intended to list some of the factors that will assist in providing media credentials. Because technology and media are dynamic processes, these guidelines do not, and cannot, exhaustively list or describe each situation that may occur. Only the official website of a WSSU opponent (and/or its official conference site) will automatically be issued passes for those events that require access (or media) credentials (with a maximum of two credentials). Other than the official website of an opponent, the below guidelines must be met for minimum consideration for credentials and access for any Internet site. 1. No online service will be allowed “real time” transmission of any live Winston-Salem State University athletic event (known as “cybercasts”). Those broadcast rights are coowned by WSSU, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the radio and television partners of those two entities. “Real Time” is defined as any on-line media providing live continual play-by-play coverage, digital photographs, audio or video of an event, and includes the use of in-game comprehensive statistics. WSSU reserves the right to grant approval of real time playby-play game statistics via the Internet, as these rights are no different than television or radio rights and are essential in building the WSSU brand. These rights are reserved for the agencies representing the participating institutions in an official capacity and contractual rights fee-paying media. In conjunction with this, radio and television stations, networks or cable systems are prohibited from making available video highlights without permission from WSSU. In addition, the official websites of the two participating institutions are the only ones allowed to serve as sources of information (other than the score and appropriate scoring plays) via the Internet during the game.

2. Any entity, agency or individual may request access and/or credentials, but the decision to grant media credentials rests in the sole and exclusive discretion of WSSU. Some non-exhaustive examples as to which Internet providers may be granted media credentials are the official online service of a national over-the-air or cable network or established publication (e.g. ESPN, CNN/SI, CBS SportsLine, etc.). Request and subsequent coverage, if granted, must be done in the true name of those seeking credentials and access, and not be a moniker. 3. Websites that sponsor “message boards,” “message centers” or “chat rooms” where people are allowed to post anonymous information, speculation and rumors are ineligible for credentials or access. NOTE: If a medium has an online site and they sponsor these anonymous forums, they may continue to request credentials under its traditional medium (newspaper, television, magazine, radio) but will not be granted additional passes for online staff. Websites that request and wish to qualify for credentials that sponsor these forums must display them in a manner where posters of information are both accurately identified (no monikers) and have accurate contact information. 4. Any online service that places emphasis on the recruitment of potential student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. This is defined as any organization that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of recruiting news and or the recruitment of student–athletes where 50 percent or more of the information relates to this topic. Those organizations will thus be considered recruiting organizations and will not be eligible for credentials. 5. Membership in a writer’s association (e.g. FWAA, USBWA) does not automatically qualify an online agency, or any other organization, for credentials or access. 6. Credentials will not be granted to any online agency operating sites that are in any way affiliated with gambling, or to “freelance” or “fan-based” sites that are not affiliated with a legitimate news gathering organization. For example, “I’m covering for AOL,” will have to be validated by a request from a sports director, again associated with an official news gathering organization.
