For the second straight season, the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams will take part in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association’s breast cancer awareness initiative. On February 14th, the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Annex will become the PinkZone. The WBCA Pink Zone initiative is a global unified effort for the Women’s Basketball Association’s (WBCA) nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, around campuses, in communities, and beyond.

Last season, the Lady Rams will be one of over 1,000 university and high school teams to take part in the WBCA’s “Think Pink” initiative. The response featured one of the highest attended single women’s games of the season for the Lady Rams. Last season’s “Think Pink” game included face painting and a number of other activities. The effort helped raise money for the North Carolina affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the Sister Speak Foundation.

A Nike & Russell School

The 2008-09 season marks the third year for the Rams at the NCAA Division I level and will again 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 different. The Rams, as part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, have partnered with worldrenowned 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. The 2008-09 season marks the third consecutive year that the Rams have participated in this partnership and the Rams will again wear apparel and footwear from the pair of industry leaders. 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 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 dark colored jerseys on the road and light colored jerseys at home. The Rams will wear a scarlet red (PMS 199) road jersey with white taping for all road games. The dri-power jerseys will

feature tackle-twill numbers on the front and back with name plates adorning the back of the jersey. The Rams athletic mark will be embroidered on the front placket, and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. The 2008-09 season will see the Rams unveil a new road uniform designed by Russell Athletic. The game jersey is composed of 86 percent nylon and 14 percent spandex and is a loose-fitting jersey designed to help control overheating with a state-of-the-art moisture management system. 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 road jersey with tackle-twill numbers on the front and back with name plates adorning the back of the jersey. The Rams athletic mark will again be embroidered on the front placket and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. The 2008-09 season will be the second season of use for the Rams home jersey which is also designed by Russell Athletic. The home game jersey is composed of 86 percent nylon and 14 percent spandex and is also a loose-fitting jersey designed to help control overheating with a state-of-theart moisture management system. The Rams also possess a third color alternate jersey that is identical to the home and road jerseys with the exception of being black in color (PMS Black). The footwear of choice for the 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 Rams will wear up to five different models of footwear in 2008-09 including, but not limited to, the Nike Powermax TB, Nike Hyperdunk, Nike Zoom Soldier II TB, Nike Shox Slam TB, and the Nike Air Bizness. As long as the Rams continue to stay on the cutting edge of athletic performance, they will wear Nike’s cutting-edge footwear and Russell Athletic uniforms.

National Media Exposure The Rams are a high profile team that receive local, regional and national media attention in print, on the Internet, and on the radio and television. Over the past five seasons, the WinstonSalem State University men’s basketball team has appeared on television five times and has posted a 2-3 mark when doing so. The Rams have appeared on live television in all five of those contests. Winston-Salem State University athletic teams have appeared on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN Classic, BET, Fox Sports Net, MASN (the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network), the NFL Network, and MediaComm over the past five seasons. As part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference television partnership, the WSSU football and men’s and women’s basketball teams appear on television at least one time each during their regular seasons. In 2007 WSSU football defeated Florida A&M by the score of 27-23 in the 2007 Circle City Classic at the RCA Dome in a game aired live on the NFL Network. The broadcast marked the first college game ever shown on the NFL Network. In 2008-09 the Rams will host a pair of nationally televised men’s basketball contests as they face Morgan State (Feb. 7) and Bethune-Cookman (March 2) on ESPNU HD. In 2003, the WSSU football team defeated arch rival North Carolina Central by the score of 47-0 in a nationally-televised contest that was shown live on Black Entertainment Television (BET).

A Dominating Defense The Lady Rams pride themselves on their defensive effort that features a high-pressure on-the-ball effort that looks to force opponent mistakes. The Lady Rams had the sixth highest blocked shots per game average among Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference teams in their first season of MEAC play. The team totaled 76 total blocked shots last season. The Lady Rams totaled 183 team steals and averaged 6.5 steals per game with a season-high 12 steals against Auburn in the opening round of the 2007 Klosterman Buckeye Classic tournament. The Lady Rams recorded at least 10 steals in a three games last season. The Lady Rams forced 529 opponent turnovers last season. The team forced 18.9 opponent turnovers. The Lady Rams forced a season-high 39 Norfolk State turnovers in front of the home crowd in Winston-Salem, N.C. last season. WSSU opponents found points hard to come by as the team held opponents to scoring 68.0 points per game and a .412 field goal percentage. The Lady Rams forced at least 20 opponent turnovers in 13 games last season. The team forced opponents into a 0.8 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Lady Rams had a season-high nine blocked shots at South Carolina State in last season’s season finale. The team added seven blocked shots against the Longwood Lancers. The Lady Rams had at least one blocked shot in 24 of the team’s 28 games last season.

A Potent Offense The Lady Rams feature a fast-paced offense that allows each player the opportunity to utilize their individual offensive skills in a team environment. Winston-Salem State averaged 45.6 points per game last season, but will bring a wealth of offensive talent to the table in the 2008-09 season. The Lady Rams were efficient on offense last season with a .300 team field goal percentage last season. WSSU’s Vontisha Woods led the way with a team-best .420 field goal percentage. Eight different Lady Rams led the team in scoring last season with forward Vontisha Woods leading the team in scoring in six games last season. Seven of the eight players will return to the team this season. The Lady Rams had a knack for shooting from long distance with 25% of the team’s shots made coming from beyond the threepoint line. The Lady Rams will return their top five scorers from last season’s team. The team returns over 80% of their total offense from last season’s squad.

Basketball Game Day An Unparalleled Atmosphere

The Rams play their home games at any one of three of the most impressive basketball venues in the nation as WSSU calls the C.E. Gaines Center, the LJVM Coliseum and the Coliseum Annex home. WSSU will play home games at the C.E. Gaines Center on the campus of Winston-Salem State University several times in 200809. The 3,200-seat arena, bearing the namesake of legendary WSSU coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines, puts Ram fans right on top of the action. The Rams will face their biggest rival, the North Carolina A&T Aggies at the LJVM Coliseum, one of the most beautiful basketball facilities in America. The 14,665-seat venue has seen WSSU take on cross-town rival Wake Forest, Hampton, Howard, MD-Eastern Shore and a host of others. The LJVM Coliseum will serve as the home for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Basketball Tournament for the next three years beginning in 2009. The venue has also hosted the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship First and Second Rounds four times (1993, 1997, 2000 and 2007).

WSSU’s primary home is the Coliseum Annex, a 4,200-seat venue that the Lady Rams call home. WSSU posted a 2-11 record at home in 2007-08 including a thrilling 56-51 win over the BethuneCookman Lady Wildcats. The Rams’ five largest attended games in WSSU history have come in the last three seasons as WSSU has renewed rivalries with and played host to long-time foes and drew the largest single-game crowd in history when they faced North Carolina A&T in front of more than 4,200 fans. The C.E. Gaines Center is an on-campus facility that saw its first action in 1971. The 3,200-seat venue is owned by WinstonSalem State University and is managed by the WSSU Department of Athletics. The LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex are owned and operated by the city of Winston-Salem, and sitting only a short three miles from the main WSSU campus are a convenient location for Ram fans and WSSU students. Shuttles to and from campus are made possible by a joint venture between the WSSU Department of Athletics,WSSU Office of Student Affairs and the City of Winston-Salem.

WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics recently opened a state-of-the-art 20,992 square foot athletic fieldhouse which was welcomed by an official ribbon-cutting ceremony in May of 2008.

The fieldhouse is the home of Winston-Salem State University football with a cutting-edge pair of locker rooms, training rooms, and a 4,000 square foot speed, strength and conditioning training facility.

The five-million dollar building was designed by Carlos Espinosa of Thomas H. Hughes Architecture, P.C. and was built by Triad Builders of King, North Carolina under the guidance of Project Manager, Aric Bullington and Superintendent, Doug Boelsche.

Adjacent to the fieldhouse, the Rams are putting the finishing touches on their new practice facility which will be home to a full 100-yard grass football field and a 50-yard next generation FieldTurf surfaced practice field.

The fieldhouse houses all of WSSU’s football, sports medicine, and athletic administration offices as well a pair of general-use offices, two skyboxes, and over 4,000 square feet of meeting space.

The focal point of the new WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse is the 1,600 square foot hospitality room that sits adjacent to the open-air, full-length deck with accommodations for over 400 VIP’s and guests of WSSU football.

Perched atop of the back of the fieldhouse is the newest and most advanced video board in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. With a total cost approaching nearly $400,000 dollars, the board was assembled by Texas Star Solutions and manufactured by Lighthouse. The Rams’ video board is built to the same exacting standards as a pair of Lighthouse video boards that adorn Qwest Field in Seattle, the home of the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL.

Also included in the fieldhouse are offense and defense meeting rooms with a state-of-the-art video editing software system for breaking down game film. Each assistant football coach has access to video playback capability in their individual offices.

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 studentathletes for their life after athletics,” says Tonia Walker, WSSU’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Director. “The studentathletes 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 Student-Athlete 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 from every varsity sport at WSSU, with the exception of football, which is represented by two student-athletes. 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 2007-08, CHAMPS/Life Skills members volunteered more than 800 hours, reaching thousands of local children.

Exceptional 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; Sarah Muslim, M.S., ATC, LAT, COCS; Felicia Tucker, M.S., ATC; Sharron Elliott, M.S., ATC, CSCS; Dr. Cristin Ferguson, M.D., team orthopedic surgeon; Dr. Daryl Rosenbaum, M.D., team physician, and Dr. Heath Thornton, M.D., team physician. “The most important aspect of the Sports Medicine program is the athletes. At WSSU we utilize a family approach where we try to provide the athletes with the same exceptional level of healthcare that we would want our own family to receive,” Director of Sports Medicine, Darrell Turner, M.Ed., ATC, LAT said.

Speed, Strength & Conditioning Much of what it takes to become a successful student-athlete at Winston-Salem State University begins in the weight room. Mike Ketchum, Winston-Salem State University football’s Defensive Coordinator also serves double-duty as the WSSU Athletic Department’s strength and conditioning advisor. 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, chinup bars and a dip rack. The Rams also make use of the new 4,000 square foot WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse weight room that contains 10 Hammer Strength power stations, six Olympic dead lift stations, a full complement of dumbbells from 10-125 pounds, a neck machine and a new, state-of-the-art treadmill. These tools afford Winston-Salem State University student-athletes the opportunity to maximize their athletic potential. Both Ketchum and Turner are constantly monitoring the progress of WSSU student-athletes as well as tailoring sport-specific strength and conditioning programs in order to fully take advantages of the innovations in their developing field.

First Class Facilities Winston-Salem State University student-athletes have the privilege of playing in some of the finest quality facilities in the nation. From the lush green playing surface at Bowman Gray Stadium to the premium quality hardwood adorning the C.E. Gaines Center, the LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex to the unparalleled quality of the WSSU Athletic Fieldhouse and football practice facility,WSSU athletes have access to the finest athletic resources in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Bowman Gray Stadium The Winston-Salem State University football team plays its home games in the friendly confines of nearby Bowman Gray Stadium. Constructed in 1948, 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 p.m. every Saturday evening, with gates opening at 6:00 p.m. 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 42-24-1 at home since head football coach Kermit Blount took over as Head Coach of the Rams in 1993. The stadium was also host to Wake Forest University football until the cross-town Deacons moved into Groves Stadium in 1968. The stadium houses a natural grass field and an impressive 3,748 square-foot, dual-level, press box. A new $5.1 million fieldhouse was completed in May of 2008 following an 18-month construction process that 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 was welcomed in an official ribboncutting ceremony in May of 2008. The five-million dollar building was designed by Carlos Espinosa of Thomas H. Hughes Architecture, P.C. and was built by Triad Builders of King, North Carolina under the guidance of Project Manager, Aric Bullington and Superintendent, Doug Boelsche.

The fieldhouse houses all of WSSU’s football, sports medicine, and athletic administration offices as well a pair of general-use offices, two skyboxes, and over 4,000 square feet of meeting space. Perched atop of the back of the fieldhouse is the newest and most advanced video board in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. With a total cost approaching nearly $400,000 dollars, the board was assembled by Texas Star Solutions and manufactured by Lighthouse. The Rams’ video board is built to the same exacting standards as a pair of Lighthouse video boards that adorn Qwest Field in Seattle, the home of the Seattle Seahawks of the NFL. Measuring 18 feet high and 18 feet wide in the viewable area, the newest generation hi-definition LED display has the capability to reproduce over 16 million colors and is the crowning jewel which sits atop of the Rams’ state-of-the-art athletic fieldhouse.

The Clarence E. Gaines Center The Clarence E. Gaines Center, known to most as “The Gaines Center” is one of the trio of sites 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 the home site for the WSSU women’s volleyball team. What was once considered to be “state-of-theart” 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 3,200 persons, the majority of games have sell-out attendance, prompting the Rams’ and Lady

Rams’ recent moves to the LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex. 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 70 percent 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 in the facility which does not have air conditioning.

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 2010-11 academic year.

LJVM Coliseum/Coliseum Annex One of the newest arenas in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and one of the most beautiful basketball facilities in the country is the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum with a capacity to seat 14,665 fans. The facility has served as the part-time home of Winston-Salem State University basketball since 2002 and has been home to WSSU basketball more frequently with the Rams’ transition to the NCAA Division I level. 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. 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. In June of 2008 the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference announced that the MEAC Basketball Tournament would be played at the LJVM Coliseum for the next three years, marking the second conference championship played in the arena in the twenty-year history of the facility. 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, N.C. 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 machinegun fire, 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 Aug. 28, 1989 with a dedication ceremony that officially announced the opening of what now is the LJVM Coliseum Complex.

Additional Facility Upgrades 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. While the new WSSU athletic fieldhouse was completed this past May and the WSSU tennis complex was completed just prior to the fieldhouse opening, the Rams and Lady Rams refuse to rest upon their laurels and the WSSU Department of Athletics will be welcoming 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. Located adjacent to the new WSSU tennis complex, the men’s and women’s track and field team will receive a completely new, state-of-theart 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. The new track and field facility will allow the Rams and Lady Rams to continue their dominance on the track and is slated for completion prior to the outdoor track and field season in the spring of 2009. As well, the lady Rams softball team will see a brand new, state-of-the-art softball stadium

being built adjacent to the track and field facility with plans to add a neighboring baseball facility in the coming years. The site for the new softball facility is the old Civitan Park location where the Lady Rams have enjoyed years of softball success en route to earning four conference softball titles. 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 WinstonSalem State University.

The Red Sea of Sound As exciting as WSSU football and basketball games are, the experience would not be complete without the Winston-Salem State University “Red Sea of Sound” marching band. Records have determined the existence of an instrumental music program at Slater Industrial Academy (now Winston-Salem State University) as early as 1933. The ensemble was known as the Slater Industrial Academy Orchestra. In 1925, Slater Industrial Academy became known as Winston-Salem Teachers College. The first tangible efforts in the direction of starting a band came between the years of 1937-1941. During this four year period, a group of young college students organized a musical group and named themselves the Teachers College Collegians. The Teachers College Collegians performed and played primarily dance music. Between 1943 and 1944, in an effort to stimulate growth and development with the band, the Winston-Salem Teachers College National Association created the “Band Project,” a fund raiser for the band program. The Association raised $1,507.25 to purchase eighteen (18) instruments for the band program. During that time the band played at chapel services each week. The college’s first band was organized in 1945 under the direction of music instructor Hamlet Goore. Mr. Goore served as band director until 1950. During the five-year period spanning from 1945 to 1950 the organization made tremendous progress. During the 50’s and early 60’s, not much information exists concerning the Winston-Salem State Teachers College Band. It is known that in 1966 or 1967, the band was under the direction of Mr. Harry Pickard. In 1969 the band was under the baton of Dr. Fred Tanner. At the end of the 1969-70 football season, the band was presented with an award for being the “Biggest Sound in the CIAA.” Many

notable achievements occurred during the early and late 1970’s which include: A half-time performance for the Baltimore Colts – 1971 Participation in the AfroAmerican Day Parade –New York City, 1974 A performance for the arrival of President Jimmy Carter, 1976 Participation in the RJR Rodeo Parade Participation in the parade for the new Masonic Lodge, WinstonSalem In 1972, Winston-Salem State College became known as Winston-Salem State University. The notoriety of the band program excelled during Dr. Tanner’s career and the WSSU band became nationally recognized as one of the best instrumental ensembles in the country. The program changed hands several times after Dr.Tanner relinquished the position. The most notable change occurred in 1994 when Mr. Emory Jones became the band master. Mr. Jones is a 1971 graduate of WSSU and he devoted ten untiring years to the WSSU band program. In his honor,The Emory Jones Endowed Scholarship in Music has been established. The Winston-Salem State University Band is now under the direction of Dr. Michael Magruder. His no-nonsense approach to the band and primarily to the sound philosophy of the band has transformed the entire instrumental band program at WSSU. In the three years under Dr. Magruder the band program has continued moving forward. A quality sound along with a comprehensive musical philosophy has seen the WSSU band continue to grow and develop. The change has been significant, however future endeavors will undoubtedly be witness to the greatness which is yet to come.

Spirit & Tradition The pride of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference are the Winston-Salem State University cheerleaders, one of the finest competitive cheerleading squads in the nation. WSSU Red Team cheerleaders lead the crowds at all WSSU football and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball games while the WSSU White Team cheerleaders entertain the masses and create a highly charged atmosphere at all WSSU womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball contests. The Winston-Salem State University cheerleading squads made history on March 15, 2008 with a dynamic performance at the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Cheerleading Championship where they captured second-place team honors.

Big Game Rivalries The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams give their all in every game that they play, but there are some games that bring out an extra bit of intensity from the squad. Especially with the team playing so many quality rivals within such close proximity. With both teams in such close proximity, there is more on the line than win-loss records when the Lady Rams take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies. From former teammates squaring off to players returning as coaches, anything can happen when the Lady Rams take on either of these rivals.

Lady Rams vs. Demon Deacons The Lady Rams and the Demon Deacons first squared off in 1979 with Wake Forest heading across town to take on the Lady Rams in the C.E. Gaines Center. Wake Forest has hosted the next four meetings between the two teams. The Lady Rams took the Demon Deacons to overtime in their first full season of NCAA Division I competition, falling short in the 66-82 loss. The two teams battled to a 65-65 tie at the end of regulation. It was WSSU’s Keoshia Worthy who hit the game-tying lay-up with 00:04 left on the clock. The two teams have met five times with Wake Forest winning all five games. The two teams have met just twice as NCAA Division I members. The Lady Rams and Demon Deacons will meet as a part of a doubleheader. The two men’s teams will square off following the women’s game at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. WSSU head coach Dee Stokes played two seasons at Wake Forest. Last season, the starting line-up featured three former high school teammates. Lady Rams guard Nikki Kee, former Lady Ram guard Montague Austin, and former Wake Forest center Mekia Valentine all went to Dudley High School where they were former teammates.

Lady Rams vs. Lady Aggies The rivalry between the Lady Rams and the Lady Aggies is a heated one. The two teams met dates back to the earliest recorded season of Lady Rams basketball. The two teams first met in 1981 with the Lady Aggies taking a pair of wins over the Lady Rams. Since then, the two teams have met 19 times with Lady Rams trailing the Lady Aggies, 4-17 in the series. Last season’s meeting with the Lady Aggies set an attendance record for Lady Rams basketball with more than 4,200 fans packing into the LJVM Coliseum Annex. WSSU and North Carolina A&T are separated by only 31 miles of interstate 40 as the Lady Rams call Winston-Sale, North Carolina home, while the Lady Aggies’ home campus in nearby Greensboro, North Carolina. North Carolina A&T and Winston-Salem State are two of five NCAA Division I women’s basketball teams in the Piedmont Triad. The WSSU/North Carolina A&T rivalry dates back to a time when both teams were members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). The Lady Rams have not won a game over North Carolina A&T since the 1997-98 season.

With WSSU’s transition to NCAA Division I and the cost of fielding championship-winning athletic programs ever-increasing, the WinstonSalem State University Department of Athletics is in need of the support of alumni, fans, and friends of WinstonSalem State University Athletics as they continue to further the national prominence of both the University and the Athletic Department. It is the goal of the Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics to consistently fill the Rams’ and Lady Rams’ athletics venues in the pursuit of athletic excellence as well as to provide the services and support necessary for WSSU student-athletes in their pursuit of their goal of higher education in the classroom. The Amon Booster Club serves as the platform for increasing the number of student-athlete scholarships and operational resources necessary for a top-quality Division I athletic program. The Amon Booster Club also enhances the visibility of loyal donors and community stakeholders of the WSSU Athletics program. Through the generous support of current Amon Booster Club members the remarkable student-athletes of Winston-Salem State University, along with their skilled coaches, have achieved tremendous victories for the university. The continued success of these student-athletes will be achieved with the support of the current, and future, Amon Booster Club members. The funds generated from the Amon Booster Club will be used to continue to recruit student-athletes and staff members of the highest standards of professionalism, sportsmanship, integrity, skill and behavior. The funds will be used in the most efficient manner possible to maintain state-of-the-art facilities for our student-athletes in their pursuit of both athletic and academic excellence. With the financial gift of loyal Amon Booster Club members it enables the WSSU Department of Athletics to provide student-athletes with an education from one of the best universities in the nation.

In 1967, he earned NCAA College Division Player of the Year honors and led the Rams to the NCAA College Division Championship. His high school teammates at John Bartram High School called him “Thomas Edison” because of the many moves he invented. His nicknames include “Earl The Pearl”, “Black Magic”, and his Philadelphia nickname, “Black Jesus”.

Clarence “Big House” Gaines Clarence “Big House” Gaines was a national coaching legend at Winston-Salem State University where he led the Rams to 18 20-win seasons and guided WSSU to eight Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) titles. In 1967, he led WSSU to a 31-1 record and coached the Rams, and future NBA star, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, to an NCAA Championship, making the Rams the first basketball program from a historically black college or university to capture an NCAA national championship. Gaines was named the CIAA’s coach of the year a record five times during his 47year coaching career at WSSU. Over the span of those 47 seasons, Gaines compiled an overall record of 828-447, good enough to place fifth in wins in NCAA history behind Bob Knight (Texas Tech, Indiana and Army), Dean Smith (North Carolina), Adolph Rupp (Kentucky), and Jim Phelan (Mount Saint Mary’s). He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1982. Coach Gaines, the history-making coach, athletic administrator, mentor and friend passed away on April 18, 2005 at the age of 81 and has been missed by the WSSU family every day since. Clarence “Big House” Gaines is the fifth-winningest NCAA basketball coach of all-time. Coach Gaines is the winningest African-American NCAA basketball coach of all time.

Cleo Hill Former WSSU & NBA Star “He was a like a father to so many, and if you had a problem you could go to him, and he helped you out,” Hill said. “And he even helped you out after you were done playing there. He helped all of us as student athletes - athletically, academically and socially.”

Earl “The Pearl” Monroe Former WSSU & NBA Star He was Winston-Salem as far as all of us are concerned,” Monroe said from New York, where he starred for the Knicks in the 1970s. “He was somebody who never left Winston, and his heart was in Winston and with that university. Coach’s legacy will be more about how he helped create men and women while they were at Winston-Salem State. Coach knew that we all needed to get our diplomas so we could have careers outside of basketball. What I will remember most is that we were so close and played so well together - it’s something that I’ve never had on a team before or since.”

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference About The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) expanded its membership to 12 members during the 2007-08 academic year, as the league voted to admit Winston-Salem State University into the league beginning at the conclusion of the 2006-07 academic year. “We are elated to welcome Winston-Salem State into the MEAC family”, said Commissioner Thomas at the time of the announcement. Obviously we think that WSSU is an outstanding academic institution with an excellent athletics program.” Winston-Salem is entering into the fourth year of its reclassification from Division II to NCAA Division I status. Despite the reclassification, WSSU began a full MEAC schedule in all sports beginning last season (2007-08). However the Rams and Lady Rams are not be eligible for MEAC Championship play until 2010-11 following completion of an NCAA site survey. Following the announcement that the Rams and Lady Rams would become the 12th member of the MidEastern Athletic Conference 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 only 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, N.C.) and South Carolina State (Orangeburg, S.C.). “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.”

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,Va. in the Armada Hoffler Tower. Overview The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, an NCAA Division I Conference, is in its 39th year of operation heading into the 2008-2009 academic school year. Housed in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Va., the MEAC is currently made up of 12 outstanding, historically black institutions across the Atlantic Coastline: BethuneCookman University, 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), Division 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, N.C. 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 MidEastern 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, N.C. until 1981, moving to Greensboro on Mar. 26, 1982 where it stayed for three years before relocating to its current location in Virginia Beach,Va. in 1985. 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 expansions, prior to the most recent addition of WSSU, occurred in the 90’s with the inclusion of Hampton University in 1995 and Norfolk State University in 1997. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified Division I by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the following month, received an automatic berth in the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship.

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 WinstonSalem 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 WinstonTeachers 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 Winston-Salem, 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 is rapidly 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 seven 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 nearly 43 academic majors, master’s degrees in 10 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 parttime 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 was 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 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

The One Room Schoolhouse is Now... The sole public liberal arts university in the Winston-Salem area. A community of scholars with one-fourth of the 2008 graduating class receiving cum laude honors. A university that enrolls nearly 6,000 students pursuing nearly 43 undergraduate courses of study and 12 master’s programs. A source for scholarship opportunities through internships, continuing education, professional development, community involvement, and lifelong education. A major employer, providing nearly 2,500 jobs and generating approximately $80 million in income, $50 million in retail sales, and $10 million in state and local taxes.

One of U.S. News and World Report’s top public liberal arts colleges in the South for seven straight years. A public, master’s level, co-educational, constituent institution of the University of North Carolina system with an 18:1 student-to-faculty ratio possessing a diverse enrollment and proud historically black college/university (HBCU) heritage where 86 percent of students receive financial aid assistance.

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. WSSU is the only four-year university in the country and the only Historically Black College and University to offer a Bachelor of Science degree program in Motorsport Management; a unique opportunity for students to “learn the business, and grow the sport.” With plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience throughout the curriculum,studies within this major will prepare students for entry-level positions in motorsport operations, motorsport marketing, and event planning. WSSU has built great relationships with many racing venues and a required internship in the motorsports field provides students with experiential learning and serves as an avenue for enhanced career placement.

Winston-Salem State’s Diggs 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 AfricanAmerican 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.”

University Mission Statement Winston-Salem State University is a public university whose primary mission is to offer high quality educational programs at both the baccalaureate and master’s level for a diverse student population. Master’s level programs for professional study are also available from the university and through interinstitutional agreements. While the primary focus is on teaching and learning, the university encourages scholarship and creative activities by faculty and students, and engages in mutually beneficial relationships with a global community in ways that complement its educational mission.

The university is strategically positioned to provide unique opportunities for students through four centers of academic excellence in health services, teaching and learning, science and technology, and financial services. The instructional program comprises three components—general education, specialized education, and lifelong learning. General education provides for all students the academic foundations and cultural experiences essential to a liberal arts education. Specialized education provides students with the experiences necessary to master an academic discipline in preparation for employment and/or graduate and professional programs, including master’s degree programs offered at WSSU. Through the Division of Lifelong Learning, traditional and non-traditional students have opportunities for continuing education, distance learning, and summer programs that provide coursework for professional and/or personal enrichment.

Nearly 50 percent of North Carolina’s computer and data processing facilities are in the Piedmont Triad region.

Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and Novant Health have helped to earn WinstonSalem a reputation as a regional and national center for medical research, development, and treatment. The medical industry in Forsyth County comprises more than 15 percent of the area’s total employment, creating over 10,000 new jobs in the last eight years.

Winston-Salem is one of the largest cities in North Carolina and Forsyth County is the state’s fifth largest county. The city also has the third largest per capita income in North Carolina ($32,028) ranking 68th nationally.

41 Although 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 1980’s and 1990’s, the medicine and health care industries grew. Novant Health and the Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital Medical Center each operate 800bed regional medical centers that are the flagships for large, diversified medical services corporations. The rise of medicine has also 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.,WinstonSalem 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.

WSSU’s NCAA Division I Reclassification The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics continues into the fourth year of a five-year transition to the NCAA Division I level in 2008-09 and will enter into their second year of membership in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). In a drive to support rapid growth and attain higher visibility, the Board of Trustees at Winston-Salem 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 2010-11 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 Dr. 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.

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.”

The university remained a member of NCAA Division II through the 2005-06 seasons while beginning the reclassification process in what was deemed to be an “exploratory year”. During this period,WSSU maintained its status as a full member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), subject to agreement with conference officials and member institutions before moving to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference during the second year of the transition (2006-07).

Five-Year Process

Investments in New Facilities, Sports, Scholarships & Coaches

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 annually in each of the three successive years.

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:

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 1.

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.

Spending $4 million over a five-year period to improve and upgrade athletic facilities; an additional $6.7 million to renovate the C.E. Gaines Center could be allocated through the university’s capital plan, which would expand total facilities investments to $10.7 million.

The 2006-07 and 2007-08 academic calendar years have been a success as the Rams have opened, and are in the process of opening, three new athletic facilities while at the same time have made significant additions to staffing, budgetary allocations, and scholarships. The Rams football and basketball teams have seen increased success at the Division I level and the WSSU Olympic Sports have steadily improved and proven to be successful in the ultra-competitive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Adding six new sports, which will include: men’s and women’s indoor (added in 2006-07) and outdoor track & field (added in 2005-06) teams, baseball (2009), and women’s golf (2010).

In 2010-11, 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.

WSSU Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell, has been instrumental in helping to ready the Rams for the move to Division 1.

2007-08 Winston-Salem State University Athletics Year in Review In the storied history of Winston-Salem State University athletics, the 2007-08 athletic season was another dynamic chapter.With a dynamic cast of lead characters, supporting characters, and plenty of foes, this chapter of athletics history was an exciting one. There were highs, lows, and a lot of plot twists in this chapter of WSSU Athletics that made 2007-08 one of the most exciting seasons in the history of this university.

Volleyball The 2007 season brought a new cast of characters for the Lady Rams volleyball team and each had her own story to write in the 2007 chapter of this team’s history. Under the watchful eye of new head coach Douglas Hunter, the Lady Rams doubled last season’s win total and made some terrific strides. The Lady Rams posted a 4-26 record. It was the Lady Rams young guns that led the way with freshman Ashley Harris and sophomore hitter Annika Barnwell racking up kills for the Lady Rams. Barnwell finished the season as the team leader in kills with 227 this season, while freshman Ashley Harris added 210. Junior Valentina Pushkina coordinated the team’s effort leading the team in assists for the third season in a row. Manning the middle was sophomore blocker Georgette Allen, who led the team in blocks with 70 blocks in her first season as a Lady Ram. Not far behind was junior blocker Brandie Beane who totaled 41 this season. The future of Lady Rams volleyball is shaping up to be a bright one with all eight players set to return next season as they look to continue to tell the tale of Winston-Salem State Lady Ram volleyball.

Cross Country While it was the youngsters who led the way for the Lady Rams volleyball team, the 2007-08 WSSU Rams and Lady Rams cross country teams looked to their seniors to lead the way this fall. Junior Irene Jeptolo led the way for the Lady Rams as she literally led the Lady Rams in all eight meets this season and winning four of the team’s six races and placing in the top ten of every race this season. Not willing to give all the limelight to the junior, freshman Ariel Armstrong had the second best finish in five of the team’s six races. Her best finish of the season came when she placed fifth at the Old Northstate Championships at Hagan Stone Park. Junior Tomita Ferguson also turned in a solid season finishing 22nd in a time of 22:32. The Rams had a solid season as well with sophomore Brandon Howe and senior Kenneth Koech leading the way in all six of the team’s races this season. Howe had his best finish at the 36th Annual Men’s UNCP Invitational where he finished 13th in a time of 21:33.74. Koech’s most impressive performance came at the team’s season finale at Erskine College where he finished 18th in a time of 29:21 in the 8K event. With a well-established program and a bright future in hand, the Winston-Salem State cross country teams will be a force to be reckoned with.

Football One needed only to look at the gridiron to see the surprise team of the fall.The only ones not surprised by the Rams this season were the Rams themselves.The team was supposed to be the wide-eyed newcomer in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and was supposed to willingly accept their losses against their MEAC “big brothers”. But, the Rams didn’t play this one the way they were supposed to, just ask their foes. For the season, the Rams posted a 6-5 record. North Carolina A&T, Morgan State, Florida A&M, and Bethune-Cookman all got a taste of what the newcomers to the MEAC had to offer, but the highlight of the Rams’ season had to be the team’s 20-19 win over the three-time defending MEAC champion Hampton Pirates at Bowman Gray Stadium. The Rams made some great strides this season and showed members of NCAA Division I and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference that the squad would be a force to be reckoned with both now and in the future. The fall of 2007 season was one for the ages for the Rams and Lady Rams and not only showed the strength of Winston-Salem State athletics in the present and reinforced the promise of what is to come. With such a great cast of characters wearing the beloved red and white, the future chapters in the story of Rams and Lady Rams athletics will be great ones.

Men’s Basketball The 2007-08 season was another step in the storied history of Rams basketball. The season saw the team’s past meet its future with some fantastic results. The Rams notched a 12-18 record with seven wins over Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponents. The Rams also made themselves at “home” playing at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum and the LJVM Annex en route to notching a 9-6 record in home games this season. The Ram returnees made their presence felt all season long with junior forward Jamal Durham leading the way. For the season, Durham led the Rams with a 12.2 point per game average and provided numerous highlights with 34 thunderous dunks. Also great this season was senior forward Darrell Wonge, the team’ second leading scorer at 10.7 points per game.Wonge also scored a career-high 30 points against Hampton this season. Senior guard Roy Peake led the Rams with 95 assists and just 66 turnovers. The Rams also welcomed a great freshman class in 2007-08 with guard Isiah Tucker and center Paul Davis making some great early impressions for the Rams. The heir to the point guard throne made his presence known as freshman guard Isiah Tucker had a fantastic freshman debut and finished second on the team with 80 assists. Davis led the Rams’ defensive effort with 48 blocked shots this season. He also gave the Ram fans many reasons to get on their feet with some of the highlight plays of the season.

Women’s Basketball The 2007-08 basketball season was a season of growth for the Lady Rams. With seven freshmen and one senior, the Lady Rams were the youngest team in the nation, but never let it show on the court. Just ask Howard, Bethune-Cookman, and South Carolina State, who all took losses at the hands of the Lady Rams. For the season, the team finished 3-25. WSSU freshman guard Rene Rector led the way for the Lady Rams averaging 8.4 points per game and led the team with 67 assists and was second on the team with 35 steals. Also impressive was freshman center Nora Campbell, who returned from an early injury to become one the team’s top defensive performers with a team-high 37 blocked shots. Her 37 blocked shots were the fifth highest total for a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player this season.

Bowling The 2007-08 bowling season was one of progression for the Lady Rams bowling team. The team got off to a bit of a slow start, but just like the ball rolling towards a strike, the team picked up momentum as the season went on. The Lady Rams finished the season with a 5-68 overall record, but saw their scores get higher and higher as the season went on. WSSU junior Lucy Graham led the way for the Lady Rams with a 137.1 average for the season as she scored a season-high 190 at the Morgan State Classic. She bowled in all seven tournaments for the Lady Rams and brought numerous team MVP honors.

Track & Field The Rams and Lady Rams track & field teams picked up where they left off last season and are leaving opponents in their wake behind them. The teams were stellar in both the indoor and outdoor competition this spring and continued to show their continued growth and development into a top notch program. Highlighting the 2008 season was senior Irene Jeptolo, who cemented her place as one of the best runners in school history with some stellar performances this season. She dominated the women’s 3000m steeplechase, winning the event twice and placing in the top ten in three of her four times she ran it.

Men’s Tennis The Rams tennis team continued to make strides with some impressive performances in 2008. The team finished the season with a 1-22 overall record. In spite of the overall record, the Rams were competitive in their matches posting close scores in each of them.

Dee Stokes

WSSU Womens Head Basketball Coach, 3rd season 11-46 at WSSU (61-98 overall) Heading into her third season as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams head coach, Dee Stokes continues to build upon the storied legacy of Lady Rams basketball. Her leadership and tenacity will lead the way for WinstonSalem 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.

Education: UNC-Charlotte, 1993 Bachelor of Arts-Sociology DeVry University, 2004 Master’s of Public Administration Coaching History: University of Alabama-Birmingham, 1993-94 Assistant Coach Murray State University, 1994-95 Assistant Coach Texas A&M University, 1995-97 Assistant Coach University of Nebraska, 1997-98 Assistant Coach East Carolina University Head Coach, 1998-2002 Birmingham Power (NWBL), 2004 Head Coach, Assistant General Manager Winthrop University Assistant Coach, 2004-06 Winston-Salem State University, 2006-Present Head Coach Playing History: UNC-Charlotte, 1991-93 Wake Forest, 1989-91

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 is a challenge that she has accepted and has carried forth. She took over a WSSU team that hadn’t posted a winning season since the 2002-03 season and has not won more than 12 games in the three following seasons. 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 prior 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 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.” Though the team had its share of struggles in its first season, 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, Savannah State, and Bethune-Cookman. The Lady Rams also posted a road win over MEAC runner-up Morgan State. The Lady Rams finished the 2006-07 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 her first full recruiting class of Winston-Salem State Lady Rams. Prior to leading the Lady Rams program, Stokes spent time as an assistant coach at Winthrop University where she helped guide an Eagles program that had never had a winning season at the NCAA Division I level to 12-game improvement and winning the most games in a season in school history. 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 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.

2008-’09 SEASON OUTLOOK The seeds planted by last season’s “youngest team in the country” will look to bear fruit in 200809 when a well-seasoned group of talented players joins an equally talented group of newcomers to the squad this season. The future of Lady Rams basketball will get its start with this season’s Lady Rams. “We are excited & feel that we have a much improved team this season,” Winston-Salem State women’s basketball head coach Dee Stokes said. “Our newcomers have come in in better shape than our freshmen a year ago. We are also more talented & have greater size and depth.” The Lady Rams will welcome back seven players from last season’s squad all of whom have spent significant time on the court and all worked their way into the starting line-up. Leading the way for the Lady Rams once again this season will be redshirt-senior guard Keoshia Worthy. As the only player on the team with more than one season of collegiate experience, Worthy’s leadership on and off the court will once again be key to the Lady Rams’ efforts this season. Unfortunately, last season, Worthy’s 2007-08 season was cut short when she suffered a season-ending knee injury in early December. The Lady Rams struggled without Worthy last season as she was the team’s leader in steals and assists at the time of her injury. However, the damage done to the Lady Rams last season could turn into a blessing for the Lady Rams this season as Worthy will not only return this season, but she will also join a squad that is much more experienced. Last season, Worthy was charged with carrying much of the scoring load as well as handling the ball for the Lady Rams. This season, she will be able scale back her responsibilities and focus on distributing the ball where she is much better suited. Scoring won’t be much of a problem for the Lady Rams this season with all five of their top scorers from last season’s team returning to the line-up. Leading the attack for the Lady Rams will be sophomore forward Vontisha Woods, one of the most consistent players on the squad last season. Woods led the Lady Rams in both scoring and rebounding last season. She averaged 9.2 points per game last season and was the team’s leading scorer in seven games. She led the Lady Rams with an 8.3 rebound per game average. Leading the offensive attack in the backcourt will be the sophomore duo of Rene Rector and Corbin Bradford, who both averaged 8.4 points per game last season. It was Rector who led the Lady Rams at the point guard position, following Worthy’s injury. She finished the season with a team-high 67 assists and 35 steals and will once again return to coordinate the WSSU attack this season. Bradford will also look to keep the Lady Rams’ offensive attack as deadly as ever. She finished second on the team in three-pointers made with 26 last season. “Our returnees played a lot of minutes last season and that will be good for experience,” Stokes added. “But they will have to work very hard to earn a starting spot on this year’s team.” FORWARDS The Lady Rams frontcourt will highlight the team’s efforts this season as the team returns with the majority of its frontcourt intact. The sophomore duo of Woods and Jalesa Byrd will lead the way for the Lady Rams this season. The duo combined to average nearly 14 rebounds per game, just under half of the team’s 34.2 rebounds per game. Though Woods returns as the team’s top offensive threat, she was also strong in a number of other statistical categories. She finished the season with 17 blocked shots and 23 steals. Byrd finished the 2007-08 season with a 5.9 rebound-per-game average, second best on the team. She was also one of the team’s most consistent players, starting in 27 of the team’s 28 games last season. She is a tall, athletic player who did it all for the Lady Rams last season with 15 blocked shots and 27 steals. Also returning for the Lady Rams frontcourt will be sophomore forward Quintoya Mobley, who worked her way into the team’s starting lineup late in the season.

Chloe Morse will be the only freshman forward joining the Lady Rams squad this season and will have a chance to help the team right away with her strength and ability. At 5-11, she will be a key force at both ends of the court for the Lady Rams. CENTERS While the Lady Rams will welcome back a talented group of players in the forward, the squad will have a dynamic change at the center position with three newcomers vying for time at the position. The Lady Rams added some much needed height to the squad this season with the addition of three players that are at least 6-0 and taller and will have a chance for a definite upgrade at the pivot. Leading the charge for the Lady Rams will be freshman center Elizabeth Maas, a 6-5 center from nearby Clemmons, North Carolina. Her height will definitely give the Lady Rams some much needed strength in the paint this season and could be a key addition to the squad. Joining her at the pivot will be freshman center Jordhan Peterson, a 6-1 newcomer from Norfolk,Virginia. She is another strong player who will strengthen the team’s efforts at both ends of the court. Freshman Jillian Charlet will round out the Lady Ram newcomers at the center position and will also have a chance to give the team a big lift right away this season. All three players will help the Lady Rams immediately either earning a starting job or off the bench. GUARDS The Lady Rams backcourt will once again feature an impressive group and will only get better as last season’s leaders will join a talented group of newcomers. Though the trio of Worthy, Woods, and Bradford will once again lead the charge for the Lady Rams, the unit will also feature sophomore guard Talnesha ‘Nikki’ Kee. Kee was a crucial fixture for the Lady Rams last season as she started in 15-of-28 games last season. She was one of the team’s top defenders with a team-high 42 steals last season and added 7.3 points per game. A durable, athletic player, Kee will once again have a chance to be one of the team’s top performers in the backcourt. Joining the WSSU returnees will be a talented group of newcomers, led by freshman guard Shatara Jackson. Jackson earned a spot in the North Carolina Coaches Association North/South All-Star game and will look to bring a lot of athleticism and ability to the WSSU backcourt this season. Porsche Harrell is another freshman guard who will look to give the Lady Rams a boost this season. The 2008-09 season looks to be a bright one for Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball. The young squad will work in the present to build a bright future for Lady Rams basketball.

2007-08 Season in Review The 2007-08 season was one for the history books for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams as the squad took the floor with the youngest team in the nation with an eight-player roster that featured seven freshmen. The season was one of ups and downs, but ended with one of the team’s biggest wins of the year. A look back at the season shows some promise of some big things to come in the future. The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams played the 2007-08 season with the most unique squad in the nation as eight of the nine Lady Rams to suit up on opening day of the 2007-08 season were freshmen. WSSU senior guard Keoshia Worthy was the only Lady Ram with collegiate experience. Though Worthy responded to her role as the leader with some of the best seasons of her career, her season was cut short, following a season-ending knee injury in the sixth game of the year. Ironically, she suffered the injury at USC-Aiken, just 30 minutes away from her home town of Augusta, GA. Without their senior leader, the young Lady Rams struggled to develop not scoring their first win of the season until their January 19th meeting with the Howard Lady Bison. Strangely enough, the team won all three of its games in different arenas, defeating Howard at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, defeating Bethune-Cookman at the LJVM Coliseum Annex, and the South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs at the SmithHammond-Middleton Memorial Center in Orangeburg, SC. One of the constants in the Lady Rams’ wins was the play of WSSU freshman guard Rene Rector, who set a career-high with 24 points against Howard, followed by scoring 17 points against South Carolina State in the team’s season finale. She only scored nine points in the team’s win over Bethune-Cook¬man, but was instrumental in the contest as she forced the Lady Wildcats into using a Box-and-One defense and played all 40 minutes of the contest. For the season, Rec¬tor averaged 8.4 points per game and fin¬ished second on the team in that category. Joining Rector in the backcourt was the freshman duo of Nikki Kee and Corbin Brad¬ford. Both players split time at both guard positions and had big games. Bradford had some of the biggest scoring efforts of the season, highlighted by her 21-point effort against Bethune-Cookman. She also added 20 points against North Carolina A&T. Kee had her best effort against South Carolina State where she scored a career-high 15 points. With Rector leading the way for the WSSU backcourt last season, the Lady Rams were blessed with an extremely talented front¬court, led by the tandem of fresmen forwards Jalesa Byrd and Vontisha Woods. Woods finished the season as the Lady Rams’ leading scorer and rebounder at 9.2 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game. She scored a career-high 20 points against Norfolk State with a career-high 14 rebounds, which she recorded three times.For the season, Woods played in all 28 games with 21 starts for the Lady Rams. One of the top surprises of the season was the play of forward Jalesa Byrd, who came to the Lady Rams as a guard, but turned out to be one of the team’s top rebounders and de¬fenders

at the forward position. For the sea¬son, she averaged 5.9 rebounds per game, playing in 27 games this season and starting in all of them. She finished the season with three double-digit rebounding games with a career-high 11 rebounds, which she pulled in against Florida A&M. She also added some scoring punch for the Lady Rams reaching double digit scoring in four of the team’s final seven games of the season, including scoring 13 points in the season finale at South Caro¬lina State. She was rewarded with the team’s Most Improved Player award at the end of the athletic calendar. The 2007-08 season also saw the emergence of WSSU freshman center Nora Campbell, who returned from an off-season injury to play in 24 games with 19 starts. Her presence was felt on the defensive end as she led the Lady Rams with 37 blocked shots this season. Her blocked shot totals would have placed her fourth in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in total blocked shots. With such an influx of talented players, the 2007-08 season will be remembered as one of the keystone seasons in the future of Win¬ston-Salem State Lady Rams basketball. POST-SEASON NOTES The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team closes out the season with an overall record of 3-25. The WSSU women’s basketball team posted a 2-11 record at home, a 1-12 mark on the road and an 0-2 mark at neutral site venues this season. For the second con¬secutive season, and for both seasons under current head coach Dee Stokes, the Lady Rams have concluded the season with a vic¬tory. In 2006-07 the Lady Rams closed the season with an 80-60 over Savannah State. This season WSSU ended the year with a 64-58 win over South Carolina State. Lady Rams’ head women’s basketball coach Dee Stokes completes her second full season at WSSU and has now compiled a career mark at WSSU of 1146 overall. Coach Stokes led the Lady Rams to an 8-21 record in 2006-07 and a 3-25 mark in 2007-08. The Lady Rams’ longest losing streak of the season was a 12-game skid, a season-opening 12-game losing streak that was snapped on Jan. 19, 2008. None of the Lady Rams’ three victories came consecutively as WSSU was winless in November and December and won one game each in the months of January, Feb¬ruary and March. The Lady Rams scored a total of 1,277 points on the season, 600 in the first half and 677 in the second half. Opponents scored 953 points in the first half and 950 points in the second half for a total of 1,903 points scored. WSSU shot 30.4 percent from the field in 2007-08 as they converted on 440 of their 1,448 field goal attempts. Opponents con¬nected on 702 of their 1,703 shot attempts for a shooting percentage of 41.2 percent.

BLACKSBURG, VA - The 2007-08 Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-1) debuted one of the youngest rosters in the nation when they opened the 200708 season at Virginia Tech (2-0). Though the team struggled to a tough 67-43 loss against the Atlantic Coast Conference squad, there were some signs of great promise by the young squad.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - It was a bad homecoming for the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams who took a 75-50 loss to the Radford Highlanders in their first home game of the season. The Lady Rams had a tough time adjusting to their new home arena, the Lawrence Joel Veterans Coliseum Annex, where the team will play 11 home games this season, shooting just 34% from the field and 12% from the three-point line.

The Lady Rams were solid at times, but were not able to contend with a tough defensive Hokie squad that held the Lady Rams to shooting 36.7% from the field. Turnovers also turned out to be a problem for the Lady Rams with the team giving up 30 turnovers in the contest. Freshman center Vontisha Woods led the Lady Ram effort with 17 points and six rebounds in the game. She was the only Lady Ram in double digit scoring in the contest. Making the effort more impressive, Woods carried four fouls for the majority of the second half. Fellow freshman forward Jalesa Byrd was also solid with six points and nine rebounds. All eight Lady Rams that dressed got into the game while freshman center Nora Campbell sat out the game recovering from an off-season injury. In a terrific show of sportsmanship, the Lady Rams took the court in “We are VT” shirts and presented them to the Hokies following the national anthem.

Officials: Lavender, Walker, Walker

The visiting Highlanders seemed to like the LJVM Coliseum Annex shooting 44% from the field for the game. The young Lady Rams were valiant in the game with just 19 turnovers and forcing 18 Highlander turnovers in the contest, but could not match the strength of RU’s experienced front court duo of Kelli Darden and Corrie Fertitta, who combined for 32 points and 20 rebounds in the game. WSSU senior guard Keoshia Worthy led the way for the Lady Rams with 12 points and tying a career-high with eight assists in the loss. Freshman center Vontisha Woods continues to be impressive with 12 points, seven rebounds, and a blocked shot in the loss. Freshman guard Rene Rector was strong in the game with 10 points in the loss. With the loss, the Lady Rams fall to 0-2 on the season and will hit the road to seek their next win, facing the Auburn Tigers in the opening round of the Klosterman Buckeye Classic hosted by The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - What looked to be a great start for the Lady Rams deteriorated into a 22-point loss on Saturday afternoon at the Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, NC as South Carolina State cruised past Winston-Salem State 74-52 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference basketball action. The Lady Rams started the contest well as a pair of jump shots from Renee Rector (Winston-Salem, NC) and Keoshia Worthy (Augusta, GA) gave WSSU an early 4-0 lead 2:08 into the contest. The lead would be short-lived as the visiting Lady Bulldogs would immediately go on a 14-4 run to take a six-point lead at the 11:56 mark of the half as they shot out to a margin that they would never relinquish. South Carolina State would increase that lead to a comfortable 21 points with 3:03 to play in the half as they used 21 first-half points in the paint to dominate the interior post en route to taking a 38-21 lead into the locker room at halftime. Second half action would again belong to SCSU as the visiting Lady Bulldogs used a half-opening 14-5 run to increase their lead to 26 points only six minutes into the final period of play. Despite aggressive defense the Lady Bulldogs continued to dominate the post as they pushed their lead to as many as a game-high 33 points with less than 10 minutes to play in the game. The Lady Rams’ cold-shooting continued to plague Winston-Salem State as South Carolina State held on to their lead en route to their second win of the 2007-08 season.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State women’s basketball team returned to action on Thursday evening at the C.E. Gaines Center after a 10-day layoff and it showed as the Lady Rams missed their first six shots and allowed visiting Elon to open the game with a 28-4 run en route to falling in defeat to the Phoenix by the score of 71-36 in a women’s non-conference basketball contest.

CHARLOTTE, NC - The struggles continue to mount for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-8), who took a 70-51 loss to the Johnson C. Smith Lady Golden Bulls (7-2), Monday afternoon. An inspired effort by WSSU freshman center Vontisha Woods, who tied a career-high 17 points and pulled in 11 rebounds, was not enough for the struggling Lady Rams who suffered their eighth straight loss to open the 2007-08 season.

The Phoenix opened the game by capitalizing on a trio of WSSU turnovers and six consecutive missed shots as Elon jumped out to a 7-0 lead only four minutes into the contest.The Lady Rams would need five minutes and seven seconds to record their first points of the game as Vontisha Woods broke the WSSU scoring drought at the 14:53 mark with a steal and a lay-up. Elon shot nearly 60 percent from the field as they successfully converted 14 of their 24 (.583) first-half field goals attempts while holding the Lady Rams to a chilly 29.6 percent shooting during the game’s first 20 minutes of play en route to leading WSSU 32-15 at halftime. Second half action nearly mirrored the first 20 minutes of play as the Lady Rams missed 13 of their first 14 shots while Elon pushed their 17-point halftime lead to an insurmountable 35 points only 8:18 into the second half following a 20-2 run that opened the second period of play.

Turnovers plagued the Lady Rams all night with 19 turnovers, leading to 23 Johnson C. Smith points in the loss. For the game, the Lady Rams shot 38.3% from the field while allowing JCSU to shoot over 40% from the field in the game as well. Freshman Nikki Kee added 12 points while fellow freshman guard Rene Rector added 10 points in the loss.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-9) found a lump of coal a the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum as the team took a 84-40 loss to the local rival Wake Forest Demon Deacons (11-2), Friday evening.The loss was the toughest of the season for the Lady Rams as the 44-point difference was the largest deficit of the season for the Lady Rams and Wake Forest’s 84 points was a season-high for WSSU opponents. Despite the final score, the Lady Rams played one of their better defensive games of the season forcing a number of Wake Forest turnovers, but the squad could not overcome some poor shooting and a much taller Wake Forest team that shot 47% from the field and 50% from the three-point line in the game. Freshman guard Nikki Kee would lead the WSSU effort with 11 points in the game. She was the only Lady Ram player to reach double-digit scoring in the loss. Freshman center Nora Campbell scored a career-high nine points in the loss. Freshman center Vontisha Woods led the WSSU rebounding effort with nine rebounds in the loss.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-10) continued their recent struggles, Saturday when the team suffered a 50-35 loss to the Alabama State Lady Hornets (3-7). The Lady Rams played one of their better defensive games of the season, but could not muster enough offense to keep up with and aggressive Alabama State team. The loss was especially tough for the Lady Rams offense that totaled just 13 field goals in the loss and shot 27.1% from the field. On the bright side, WSSU freshman guard Nikki Kee continues to improve, scoring 11 points in the loss and reaching double-digit scoring in her third straight game. She was the only Lady Ram player to reach double-digit scoring in the game. Fellow freshman forward Vontisha Woods pulled in a career-high 12 rebounds in the loss as well. Despite the bad ending, the Lady Rams opened the game with a solid start to an early 8-2 lead on a three-pointer by WSSU freshman guard Rene Rector. However, an 11-4 Alabama State run would eliminate the Lady Ram lead and give the Hornets their first lead of the game, 13-12 with 10:18 left in the first half.The WSSU offense would shut down for the rest of the half, however, with the Lady Rams scoring just three points in the remainder of the half.The Hornets would take advantage of the Lady Rams’ drought outscoring the Lady Rams 11-3 to cap a 22-7 run and take a 23-16 lead into the locker room at halftime. The second half wasn’t much better for the Lady Rams who scored just 19 points in the second half. The squad found themselves down by as many as 18 points, 40-22 after Alabama State opened the half with a 17-6 run. Though the Lady Rams were strong defending the paint, the squad gave up three ASU three-pointers and six free throws to the Lady Hornets during the run. Down the stretch of the half, the Lady Rams could never get closer than 15 points of their foes. The final ten minutes of the game saw the Lady Rams notch just three field goals and end the day with the loss. With the loss the Lady Rams fall to 0-10, but will have a bit of rest before returning to action. The squad will next take the court when they host the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Lady Hawks on January 12th at the LJVM Coliseum Annex.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams shot 22 percent from the field at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum and fell in defeat to the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore by the score of 82-46 in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference women’s basketball action on Saturday evening as WSSU dropped to 0-11 on the season. Maryland-Eastern Shore opened the contest on an 8-0 run over the course of the first 3:14 of play as the Lady Rams were able to muster only a pair of free throws during the contests’ first nine-plus minutes of play. A Corbin Bradford lay-up at the 10:38 mark of the first half would give the Lady Rams their first field goal and cut the UMES lead to 19-4 but the damage had been done as the Lady Hawks opened up a double-digit lead that they would never relinquish en route to keeping WSSU winless on the season.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The young Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team fell victim to an experience-laden Delaware State University Lady Hornets squad on Monday evening at the Coliseum Annex as the defending MEAC champions defeated the Lady Rams 49-27 in a MEAC league women’s basketball contest. The Hornets started the contest on a 14-6 run over the game’s first seven-plus minutes of play and never trailed the Lady Rams as they sprinted their way to their sixth win of the 2007-08 season, keeping WSSU winless in the process. Following the early run by Delaware State the Lady Rams would cut the lead to no fewer than 10 points for the remainder of the contest as DSU built their lead to as many as a game-high 27 points. WSSU would again have difficulties shooting as the Lady Rams connected on only 10 field goals in the contest as they posted a 25 percent shooting percentage (10 of 40) against the Lady Hornets, a team that leads the MEAC in scoring defense. The contest did have its bright spots for the young Lady Rams as freshman Nora Campbell, who has been plagued by injuries that have limited her production for most of the season, had a break out game with six points and seven rebounds in 39 minutes of action. Campbell was joined by Jalesa Byrd and Vontisha Woods who all recorded solid games on the glass with seven and a team-high eight rebounds respectively.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team is winless no longer. The Lady Rams earned their first victory of the season on Saturday evening at Joel Coliseum as they downed visiting Howard University 63-61 to break a 12-game losing skid.

Halftime: Hampton 40, Winston-Salem State 20 Technical Fouls: WSSU- None, Hampton-None Officials: Jones, Gerald, Green

On the wings of Rene Rector’s career-high 24 points and a 15-point, 14-rebound double-double from Vontisha Woods, the Lady Rams came from behind and earned their first win of the season, a 63-61 win over MEAC rival Howard. Trailing by as many as eight points in the contest, the young Lady Rams showed the perseverance of a veteran squad as they mounted a second-half comeback that saw WSSU take a second-half lead midway through the final period. Undaunted, Howard mounted a run of their own as the two teams would find themselves deadlocked at 58-58 with only 1:24 to play in the contest. Howard’s Shannon Carlisle would give the Bison the 60-58 lead with 38 seconds to play as she hit a soft 12-footer in the lane that gave the lead squarely back to the visiting Bison. A one-of-two trip to the free throw line for Howard’s Tamaya Daniels increased the Bison lead to 61-58 with 32 seconds to play as it looked as though the Lady Rams were headed for their 13th consecutive loss.Nora Campbell proved that momentum in college basketball is a fickle mistress as she converted a defensive rebound by Jalesa Byrd into a fast break layup that cut WSSU’s deficit to one point at 61-60 with 21 ticks of the clock remaining. A missed opportunity at the free throw line would give the Lady Rams all the momentum they would need as Rene Rector hit a fast break layup of her own as WSSU regained the lead, this time for good, at 62-61 with three seconds remaining. A Quintoya Mobley free throw put the proverbial nail in the coffin as a Reyna Gross three-pointer as time expired was far off the mark and WSSU celebrated their first victory of the season.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - MEAC leading Hampton University proved to be too much for the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team on Monday afternoon at the LJVM Coliseum as the Lady Pirates handed WSSU a 5838 defeat in the first game of the 2008 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Classic. The Lady Rams, fresh off of Saturday evening’s first victory of the season, shot only 23 percent from the field during the game’s first 20 minutes of play as Hampton jumped out to an advantage as great as 23 points en route to routing WSSU. While the Lady Rams hit only six of their 26 first-half field goals, the Lady Pirates shot a blistering 53.3 percent from the field over the course of the game’s first 20 minutes as Hampton connected on 16 of 30 attempts from the field including a three-of-eight shooting performance from behind the three-point arc. The Lady Rams forced 12 HU turnovers in the first half yet generated only five points off of those turnovers as Hampton used a full-court press of their own to generate 14 WSSU giveaways that were converted into 22 points. Hampton used those 22 points off of turnovers to take a 20-point cushion into the locker room at halftime as the Lady Pirates led WSSU 40-20. WSSU head coach Dee Stokes made significant adjustments at halftime as she led the Lady Rams to a productive second half in which WSSU played evenly with the MEAC-leading Lady Pirates. The Lady Rams held the Lady Pirates to only 18 points in the second half of play and combined to score 18 points of their own as they held HU to a 23 percent field-goal shooting half in the game’s final 20 minutes.

GREENSBORO, NC – The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (1-14) battled hard for the first half, but could not withstand a strong offensive second half by the North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies (12-5) that left the Lady Rams with 71-51 loss at Cal Irvin-Don Corbett Court in Greensboro, NC. The Lady Rams struggled to keep up with a North Carolina A&T team that took more shots in the second half (42) than the Lady Rams took for the entire game (39).

NORFOLK, VA - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (1-15) played a great 39 minutes, but fell victim to a last minute surge by the Norfolk State Lady Spartans (3-13) that left the squad with a 62-61 loss to the short-handed Lady Spartans.The final 30 seconds of the game saw the Lady Rams holding a 58-50 lead, but also saw WSSU give up nine unanswered points to end the night with the loss.

Despite the loss, the Lady Rams had one of their best offensive games of the season scoring 51 points, the fourth highest point total by the squad this season, and shot 38.5% from the field in the game. However, the squad was plagued by 34 turnovers in the game. The Lady Aggies benefitted from the WSSU turnovers scoring 30 points off WSSU turnovers.WSSU freshman guard Corbin Bradford led the way for the Lady Rams with 20 points in the loss. Fellow freshman forward Vontisha Woods added 12 points and a team-high eight points in the loss. The short-handed Lady Rams played well despite missing freshman forward Jalesa Byrd, who missed her first start of the season.

Freshman guard Rene Rector led the way with 18 points in the loss, including hitting nine-of-10 free throws. She led three Lady Ram scorers in double digits in the loss with fellow freshman guard Corbin Bradford adding 11 points while forward Vontisha Woods scored 13 points and added nine rebounds.

The Lady Rams got off to a great start in the game behind Bradford’s scoring the first eight WSSU points of the game. Bradford single-handedly led the Lady Rams to an 8-6 lead hitting her second three-pointer of the game at the 16:47 mark. For much of the remainder of the half, the Lady Rams stayed close, falling behind by no more than three points until the final minutes of the half. WSSU freshman guard Nikki Kee would give the team it’s last lead of the game, 24-23 with 5:11 left in the half. Though North Carolina A&T would build a six-point lead with 2:37 left in the half, the Lady Rams would bounce back, cutting the deficit down to just one point on Bradford’s second three-pointer of the half at the 00:51 mark. However, the Lady Rams would allow four Lady Aggie points in the final eight seconds and take a 34-26 deficit into the locker room at halftime. The second half was much different from the first half with the Lady Rams not scoring a field goal in the first four minutes of play while the Lady Aggies would open the half on run that left the Lady Rams trailing 44-29 with 15:51 left in the game. The young Lady Rams would get no closer in the game with the Lady Aggies going ahead by as many as 28 points and the squad could get no closer.

The Lady Rams opened the game with a 5-0 run and only gave up the lead once in the first half. The team would relinquish the lead just once in the first half with just under 10 minutes to play. Down the stretch of the half, the Lady Rams reestablished dominance going ahead by as many as 15 points in the half and taking a 32-23 lead into the locker room at halftime. The squad continued to dominate in the second half going ahead by as many as 13 points on a free throw by Rector. Down the stretch of the half, Norfolk State would chip away at the WSSU lead cutting the lead down to eight points heading into the final 30 seconds of the game. Norfolk State would go on to hit three three-pointers in the final 30 seconds, including one with 22 seconds left that gave NSU a 58-56 lead, their first lead since the first half of play. A free throw by freshman center Nora Campbell would put the Lady Rams ahead 61-59, but a Norfolk State lay-up combined with a Campbell foul would doom the Lady Rams in the loss.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Florida A&M University used 28 Winston-Salem State turnovers and converted them into 25 points on Saturday evening at the Joel Coliseum Annex in Winston-Salem, NC as the Lady Rattlers downed the Lady Rams 67-36 in MEAC women’s college basketball action. The Lady Rattlers struck fast, jumping out to an 8-0 advantage only four minutes into the contest as a part of an 11-2 run that opened up a lead that they would never surrender. WSSU shot 36.4% from the field during the game’s first 20 minutes and committed 15 turnovers as FAMU led by as many as 10 points during the first period of play. The Lady Rams mounted a challenge late in the half, closing the Lady Rattler advantage to only six points, at 29-23, at the halftime intermission as WSSU attempted to mount a comeback. The WSSU comeback would never come to fruition as Florida A&M put the contest out of reach in the early moments of the second half using a 10-0 run over the first seven minutes of the play to put the visitors up 16 points, effectively sealing the fate of the young Lady Rams. The Lady Rattlers closed the contest on an 18-6 run as they held WSSU without a field goal for the final 3:31 of play, earning a 31-point victory along the way as they snapped an eight-game losing streak. Leading the way for WSSU was Corbin Bradford who tallied 12 points in 35 minutes of work. Pacing the Lady Rattlers was Q’Vaundra Curry who recorded a game-high 17 points. Joining Curry in double-digits was Stephanie Foster who tallied 12 points and 16 rebounds in the win.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Corbin Bradford’s career-high 21 points led the Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team past the visiting Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman by the score of 56-51 on Monday evening at the Joel Coliseum annex as WSSU snapped a four-game losing streak. The victory, the Lady Rams’ first win since January 19, was keyed by Bradford’s 21 points, 12 of which came from long range as the freshman guard hit four of her seven attempts from long range. A contest in which the lead changed hands 11 times and was deadlocked in a tie on a dozen occasions saw both teams hit less than one-third of their field goal attempts as the two teams would head to the locker room at halftime with the score knotted at 30-30. Second-half action saw the Lady Rams trail for only 18 seconds as they controlled the contest for nearly all of the game’s final 20 minutes of play. WSSU’s Vontisha Woods scored seven of her 13 points and pulled down seven of her game-high 10 rebounds in the second half en route to helping lead the Lady Rams to their second win of the season. Leading by three points with under 10 seconds remaining in the contest, Bradford calmly converted a pair of free throws that sealed the Rams’ victory as she surpassed her previous career-high of 20 points. The win moves Winston-Salem State to 2-16 on the season while the Wildcats fall to 3-17 overall with the loss.

BALTIMORE, MD - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-17) weren’t able to overcome one of their worst starts of the season when the team took a 75-38 loss to the Morgan State Lady Bears (12-9), Saturday afternoon. The Lady Rams scored just 11 first half points against the Lady Bears, one more than the team’s season-low 10 first half points against Delaware State earlier this season. Though the squad came back with a strong second half effort, the squad was not able to overcome the slow start to the contest. It was the team’s turnovers that proved the most costly to the Lady Rams as the team had ten more turnovers (25) than field goals (15) in the game, including hitting just three field goals in the first half of play. As a team, the Lady Rams shot 32.6% from the field while allowing the high-powered Morgan State team to shoot 38.5% from the field and 39.3% from the three-point line. The outcome of the game could not, however, cloud some solid individual performances by the Lady Rams as freshman forward Vontisha Woods just missed a double-double with eight points and nine rebounds in the loss. Freshman center Vontisha Woods came close to her first career double-double with eight points and eight rebounds. The two players had a combined two points in the first half. Morgan State jumped out early in the first half taking a commanding 12-2 lead in the first four minutes of the game. A Woods lay-up four minutes into the game was the first score of the game for the Lady Rams and sparked a 6-0 run that cut the Morgan State lead in half, 12-6 with 14:28 left in the half. It was then that Morgan State would take command of the game, outscoring the Lady Rams 29-5 in the remainder of the half. WSSU freshman guard Corbin Bradford would account for the remaining six WSSU points of the half with a lay-up and a three-pointer that were the only WSSU points for the rest of the half. The two scores came with nearly six minutes between them and the Lady Rams ended the half, going scoreless for the final seven minutes of the half.

BALTIMORE, MD - The young Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-18) ran out of gas, Monday when the team took an 85-44 loss to the Coppin State Lady Eagles (13-11). The Lady Rams played a solid first half keeping the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference regular season champions to within seven points, but were outscored 52-18 in the second half to end the night with the loss. The game turned out to be a story of halves as the young Lady Rams used a strong defensive effort, combined with some opportunistic offense to keep the game in reach in the first half, falling behind the Lady Eagles, 26-33 at the half. As a team, the Lady Rams shot 33.3% from the field in the first half and held Coppin State to just seven first half field goals. However, in the second half, the Lady Rams found themselves overwhelmed with Coppin State shooting 66.7% from the field in the second half, including going 12-of-13 from the free throw line. In contrast to their first half effort, the Lady Rams shot just 22.7% from the field in the second half going 5-of-22 from the floor. The starting backcourt of WSSU freshmen guards Nikki Kee and Rene Rector turned a solid offensive effort in the game with Kee leading the Lady Rams with 12 points, going 8-of-11 from the free throw line. Rector added 10 points in the loss with a pair of three pointers. The dup of freshman forwards Jalesa Byrd and Vontisha Woods added five rebounds each to lead the Lady Rams. Coppin State had four players reach double-digit scoring led by senior guard Rashida Suber’s 24-point effort. Center Whitney Cunningham added 19 points while senior guard Shalamar Oakley added 12 points. CSU forward Jennifer Martin added a 10 points and a game-high nine rebounds in the game.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Pink was an unlucky color for the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-19), who suffered a 65-52 loss to the Longwood Lancers (13-13), Wednesday evening. For the second game in a row, the Lady Rams saw a second half slump eliminate a solid first half of play. After holding the lead for much of the first half and trailing by just five points at halftime, the Lady Rams allowed 38 second half points to the Lancers to take their third straight loss.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The second half was not kind to the young WinstonSalem State Lady Rams (2-20) as the team suffered a 91-62 loss to the Howard Lady Bison.The 91 points scored by the Lady Bison marked a season-high in points allowed by the Lady Rams this season as the squad took its third straight loss.

The Lady Rams donned pink uniforms in support of the WBCA’s “Think Pink” Initiative in addition to a number of breast cancer awareness activities and helped to raise money for the North Carolina affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The event also helped raise money for the Sister Speak Foundation, a breast cancer research foundation. The highlight of the evening proved to be the halftime recognition of breast cancer survivors. Fouls proved costly in the game with the Lady Rams committing a season-high 23 fouls in the game. Five of the seven Lady Rams that suited up for the game had at least three fouls in the game and four finished the game with at least four fouls. The game was a tough one for the Lady Rams who shot 34.0% from the field and committed 26 turnovers in the loss. For the game, the Lady Rams had more turnovers (26) than field goals (17). The Lady Rams’ backcourt duo of freshmen guards Corbin Bradford and Rene Rector scored 13 points each in the loss while fellow freshman forward Jalesa Byrd added eight points.

It was a poor second half that cost the Lady Rams in the loss as the squad allowed 51 second half points to the Lady Bison, marking the second time this week that the squad has allowed over 50 second half points to their opponents, including allowing 52 second half points to the Coppin State Lady Eagles, Monday evening. The later minutes of the half proved to be the worst for the Lady Rams as the squad failed to convert a field goal in the final seven minutes of the game. As a team, the Lady Rams shot 39.3% from the field, but could not stop a Howard team that took advantage of home court and shot 43.4% from the field in the game.

The loss also marked the second time this season that the squad has lost despite outrebounding their opponent. As a team, the squad held a 46-41 edge on the boards.

HAMPTON,VA- The young Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-21) battled hard, but ran out of gas in a 65-41 loss to the Hampton Lady Pirates (14-10). The young WSSU squad played hard for the entire contest, but fell short in the final minutes against the much deeper, more experienced Hampton Lady Pirates.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Even a sell-out crowd was not enough to help the Lady Rams in an 80-41 loss to North Carolina A&T State University on Saturday evening at the LJVM Coliseum Annex as the visiting Aggies nearly doubled up the Lady Rams behind Amber Bland’s game-high 20 points.

Lady Ram freshman center Nora Campbell led the charge for the squad with her first career double-double.

Fellow freshman Jalesa Byrd added 10 points with six rebounds and a blocked shot in the game. As a team, the Lady Rams shot 28.0% from the field with 20 turnovers in the loss.There were able to slow the Lady Pirates to shooting just 36.6% from the field on their home court and shooting 29.4% from the threepoint line. The team’s effort was especially impressive with five WSSU players accounting for 190 of the team’s 200 minutes in the game.

The Lady Aggies jumped out to an early lead and never relinquished control of the contest as they used a 50 percent shooting performance from the field in the first half to open up a lead as great as 24 points during the contest’s first 20 minutes of play.

The Lady Rams showed their fight early in the game erasing a 6-0 Hampton start with six unanswered points and tying the game on a Byrd jumper with 15:36 left in the first half. The squad would keep the game close, taking a one-point lead, 13-12 on a Byrd free throw with 10:55 left in the half. The team did wear down towards the end of the half as Hampton held the Lady Rams to just one field goal in the final 10 minutes of play and taking a 30-18 deficit into the locker room at halftime.

NC A&T sprinted ahead to a 10-0 lead over the course of the first 3:01 of play as the Aggies hit four consecutive field goals and a free throw before missing their first shot of the contest. A pair of WSSU field goals would cut into the Aggie lead for only a moment as North Carolina A&T used the respite to regroup their offense en route to posting a 26-12 run over the next 10 minutes of play as they closed the half with a 44-20 lead over their Piedmont Triad rival. Despite a team-high 14 points from WSSU freshman forward Jalessa Byrd the Lady Rams would never mount a challenge to the NC A&T lead as the Aggies’ Amber Bland started second half action off with a deep 22-foot three-pointer as NC A&T increased their lead to 27 points.

In the early minutes of the half, the Lady Rams outscored Hampton, 10-1 Byrd would lead the charge early for the Lady Rams scoring the first seven WSSU points of the half. A Campbell three-pointer, the first of two for the freshman, would pull the Lady Rams to within five points of the Lady Pirates, 31-26 with 19:02 left to play. Another Byrd lay-up would pull the team to within three points, 31-28 with 18:15 left to play. Hampton would regain control of the contest, with a 10-0 run that ended the WSSU run and put the Lady Pirates on top for good.

NC A&T’s lead would continue to grow as they led the Lady Rams by as many as 44 points with 4:14 remaining in the contest as Brittane Neely’s lay-up gave the Lady Aggies their largest lead of the evening.

The final stretch of the game was a hard one for the Lady Rams as the team hit just three field goals in the final 14 minutes of play. The final seven minutes were especially tough for the squad as free throws were all that the team could muster. The drought left the Lady Rams ending the night with a 65-42 loss.

Conversely, the Lady Aggies turned in a 30-of-62 shooting performance from the field in the contest as NC A&T hit 48.4 percent of their field goal attempts.

The evening would be a difficult one for the Lady Rams as WSSU would shoot only 28.6 percent from the field as Winston-Salem State hit only 10 of their 35 field goals, only three of which would come in the second half.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams closed out their home schedule with a loss on Monday evening at the Joel Coliseum Annex as they fell in defeat, 69-45, to the Norfolk State University Lady Spartans in a contest that saw the two teams combine for 45 fouls and 64 total turnovers. The Lady Rams, looking for revenge against a Lady Spartan team that erased a seven point lead in the final 36 seconds of play to sneak out a 62-61 win over WSSU in the two teams’ only other meeting this season, were unable to capitalize on 25 Norfolk State University turnovers on Monday evening as WSSU closed out their home schedule with their 11th loss at home in 2007-08. WSSU would trail the Lady Spartans by only 11 points at halftime as the Lady Rams faced a 38-27 deficit heading into the locker room at the intermission. The Lady Rams would hit nearly 40 percent of their field goal attempts during the game’s first 20 minutes of play as WSSU, with a seven-person roster made entirely of freshmen, would not allow Norfolk State to pull away. Second half action would be unkind to the Lady Rams as the visiting Lady Spartans outscored WSSU 31-18 over the contest’s final 20 minutes of play. Despite outrebounding Norfolk State 44 to 29, the Lady Rams were able to create only 12 second-chance points in the contest as 26 personal fouls and a season-high 39 turnovers allowed Norfolk State to break the contest open in the second half. 26 WSSU fouls would eventually hurt the youthful and injury-laden Lady Rams’ roster as only four players were still on the court for WSSU for the final four minutes of the contest after WSSU fouled out their third player of their sevenperson roster. The loss was not for lack of effort as the Lady Rams turned in some of their most spirited play of the season with Vontisha Woods leading the charge for WSSU as the freshman forward tallied a career-high 20 points to lead all WSSU scorers.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-24) fought hard, but could not pull out a win, Saturday as the team took a 59-32 loss to the Florida A&M Lady Rattlers at Gaither Gymnasium in Tallahassee, FL. Saturday’s game was a game of two halves as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-24) followed one of the worst first halves of the season with one of the team’s best second half performances. The Lady Rams struggled mightily in the first half, managing just 11 points n the half and shooting just 20.8% from the field in the half. The team’s 11 points were one point shy of tying a season game low for points in a half. Only Delaware State held the Lady Rams to fewer first half points (10). The second half was an entirely different story, however, with the Lady Rams outscoring the Lady Rattlers, 21-19 and forcing the home team to shoot 25% from the floor in the half. WSSU freshman guard Rene Rector was the only Lady Ram to reach double-digit scoring in the contest with a team high 10 points in the loss. Fellow freshmen Jalesa Byrd and Nikki Kee both added nine points each in the game. Freshman forward Vontisha Woods led the Lady Rams with eight rebounds in the loss.WSSU freshman center Nora Campbell totaled three blocks in the game, two shy of a career-high. The Lady Rams’ struggles started early in the game with Florida A&M jumping out to an early 14-2 lead. A Byrd jumper was the only WSSU basket of the first five minutes of the game and gave the home team the early edge in the contest. As the half went on, the Lady Rams would find baskets hard to come by as a Rector three-pointer was the team’s only score during an eight-minute span of the game and gave the Lady Rams a 31-7 deficit to overcome. The squad would manage just one more field goal of the half to finish the period with an 11-40 deficit to overcome.

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 co-owned 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 play-by-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.

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-theair 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
