The 2009-10 season marks the fourth year for the Lady Rams at the NCAA Division I level and will again continue to usher in a new age of basketball history for WinstonSalem 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.

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 Lady Rams, as part of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, have partnered with world-renowned corporate entities Russell Athletic and Nike to help outfit their teams. As part of the partnership between Nike and Russell Athletic, the MEAC and the 12 conference member schools, each institution receives complimentary uniforms from Russell Athletic and an allotment of footwear from Nike, the world’s most esteemed footwear brand. The 2009-10 season marks the fourth 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.

The Lady 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 Lady 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 Lady Rams athletic mark will be embroidered on the front placket, and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. Last season saw the Lady 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.

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.

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 Lady Rams athletic mark will again be embroidered on the front placket and the MEAC logo will emblazon the left chest. The 2009-10 season will be the third season of use for the Lady 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-the-art 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 Lady Rams will be emblazoned with the world-famous Nike Swoosh. Nike, Inc. operates on six continents with suppliers, shippers, retailers and service providers employing close to one million people. The diversity inherent in such size is helping Nike evolve its role as a global company. Nike, Inc. is committed to an attitude whereby they see a bigger picture today than when they started, one that includes building sustainable business with sound labor practices. Nike, Inc. retains the zeal of youth yet acts on their responsibilities as a global corporate citizen. As a direct result of these future-minded business practices, Nike, Inc. has become the world’s largest supplier of footwear to the NCAA and currently holds a market share near 65%. The Lady Rams will wear up to five different models of footwear in 2009-10 including, but not limited to, the Nike Hyperize, Nike Hypermax, Nike Hyperdunk, Nike Shox Vision TB, and the Nike Zoom Soldier III. As long as the Lady Rams continue to stay on the cutting edge of athletic performance, they will wear Nike’s cutting-edge footwear and Russell Athletic uniforms.

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 Head Cheerleading Coach and Assistant Marketing Director, Joevanne Estrada. “The purpose of CHAMPS/Life Skills is to prepare studentathletes for their life after athletics,” says Tonia Walker, WSSU’s current Interim Director of Athletics and WSSU’s first-ever CHAMPS Life Skills director. “The student-athletes help to mentor youth in the community, thereby strengthening not only their bond with the community but the community’s bond with the students and athletes of WSSU.”

The 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 welcomed an official ribbon-cutting 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.

Bowman Gray Stadium and Winston-Salem State University football are both local legends that attract multitudes of fans regularly. The Rams have been playing at Bowman Gray stadium since the 1946 season and have amassed a record of 43-29-1 at home since head football coach Kermit Blount took over as Head Coach of the Rams in 1993.

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.

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.

What was once considered to be “state of the art” is now deemed too small for the larger than capacity crowds that both the men’s and women’s basketball teams generate. While the Gaines Center seats over 3,100 persons, the majority of games have sell-out attendance, prompting the Rams’ and Lady Rams’ recent moves to the LJVM Coliseum and Coliseum Annex.

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.

The Gaines Center is a very hostile place for visiting teams to play, and the Rams and Lady Rams very seldom lose in its friendly confines amassing a home winning percentage near .700 for the last decade.

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 crosstown 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 Winston-Salem 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.

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 student-athlete 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 in May of 2008 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 additional athletic department facilities projects as the Lady Rams softball team and the men’s and women’s track and field teams will soon be moving into their new homes as well. Located adjacent to the new WSSU tennis complex, the men’s and women’s track and field team recently opened a brand new, state-of-the-art track and field facility which houses an eight-lane rubberized running track, high jump and long jump pits, pole vault, hammer throw and javelin stations and houses both a 100-yard and 50-yard football practice field facility.

The new track and field facility has allowed the Rams and Lady Rams to continue their dominance on the track and opened 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, stateof-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 are possible through the generous donations and endowments of alumni, fans, and supporters of WSSU athletics. With the help of everyone in the “Ram Nation”, WSSU will continue to be an athletic power, one that carries on the tradition of excellence that has long been associated with Winston-Salem State University.

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 WinstonSalem 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 fundraiser 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 Afro- American 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, Winston-Salem In 1972 Winston-Salem State College became known as WinstonSalem 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, a 1971 graduate of WSSU, 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 four 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.

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-Salem 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.”

HISTORY In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. Dissected from these discussions, a steering and planning committee was formed to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals. After adopting a program, seven institutions (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 College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Its major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards and with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, a milestone was reached when the MEAC selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. He had been preceded by three interim (part-time) commissioners: Dr. Leroy Walker (1971-74); who later had the distinction of serving as the President of the United States Olympic Committee, the late Earl Mason (1974-75) and the late Dr. James Young (1975-78). Kenneth A. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in 1995. In 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. Longtime MEAC

administrator Brenda H. McCoy served two stints as Interim Commissioner, one in 1996 and again in 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named the commissioner and has served in the position for six years. The leagues’ first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984, but was readmitted in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution. The MEAC expanded again in the 90’s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The final expansion occurred in 2007, with the addition of Winston-Salem State University. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The following month the MEAC received an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. 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), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

Winston-Salem State University was founded as the Slater Industrial Academy on September 28, 1892. It began in a one-room frame structure with 25 pupils and one teacher. In 1895, the school was recognized by the state of North Carolina, and in 1897 it was chartered by the Slater Industrial and State Normal School. From the beginning, the school has insisted upon the vital importance of elementary school teachers in building an improved citizenship. Emphasis has, therefore, constantly been placed upon the quality and quantity of training for these teachers. In 1925, the General Assembly of North Carolina recognized the school’s leadership in this field and granted the school a new charter, extending its curriculum above high school. The school changed its name to Winston-Salem Teachers College and empowered it, under the authority of the State Board of Education, to confer appropriate degrees. Winston-Salem Teachers College thus became the first Negro institution in the nation to grant degrees for teaching in the elementary grades.

State College. A statute designating WinstonSalem 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, WinstonSalem State University (WSSU) became one of 16 constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina, subject to the control of the Board of Governors.

now enrolls more than 6,400 students, offers bachelor’s degrees in more than 40 academic majors, master’s degrees in 10 programs, and employs 400 full-time faculty and more than 800 staff members. It is accredited by the Commission on College of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. WSSU has a diverse student population with increasing enrollment of non-traditional and part-time students.

Winston-Salem State University is located on 110 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).

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 WinstonSalem 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.

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.

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 nine years (2001-09). 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.”

MORE ABOUT WINSTON-SALEM 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, WinstonSalem 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 800-bed 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., Winston-Salem State University has made a large contribution and commitment to research in the PTRP. Winston-Salem has long been a leader in promoting the arts. The first arts council in the United States was incorporated here in 1949; currently the city ranks first nationally in per capita giving to the arts. Winston-Salem is home to the North Carolina School of the Arts, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), and the National Black Theater Festival.

On Nov. 3, 2009, Winston-Salem State University announced that William “Bill” Hayes, whose career in college athletics spans more than 36 years, would become the fifth Athletic Director in the history of the WSSU Athletic program. Hayes will assume his duties at WSSU on Jan. 1, 2010. Hayes comes to WSSU from Florida A&M University where he served as the Director of Athletics for the past two years. In a twoyear period that spanned from Dec. 4, 2007 until Jan. 1, 2010, Hayes was instrumental in reviving the Rattlers’ storied athletic program. Hayes helped to revitalize the Florida A&M University athletic program and was responsible for overseeing the efforts to build FAMU’s new $40 million men’s and women’s basketball arena. The Florida A&M Multipurpose Center and Teaching Gym, also used for the University’s graduation ceremonies, is a 135,000-square-foot, stateof-the-art facility, which includes updated locker rooms, separate offices for head coaches and assistant coaches, a weight room with modern equipment, classrooms, a dance studio, computer rooms and seating for more than 9,500 fans.

Three years later, in 1976, Hayes took over as the head football coach at Winston-Salem State University a position he would hold from 1976-87.

In July of 2003, Hayes assumed the reigns of the athletic program at his alma mater, NCCU. During his four-year tenure, he made a significant impact on the program by placing great emphasis on reviving the rich traditions of Eagle Athletics. Under his direction, NCCU had the most productive fund-raising campaign of any athletics department among all Historically Black Colleges and Universities. A true fundraising visionary, Hayes implemented a revenue-generating infrastructure at North Carolina Central that helped put the Eagles on the road towards a transition to the NCAA Division I level. The foundation of Hayes’ fundraising success was built when he initiated the “$1,000 Eagles” campaign with the slogan, “1,000 Eagles Giving $1,000 ... Springboard to $1 Million.”

WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY 2008-09 Athletics Year in Review On the surface, the 2008-09 year in athletics for Winston-Salem State University looked like baby steps, but the Rams and Lady Rams made some gigantic strides that will pay dividends for generations to come. Football With just 15 starters returning and losing 41 letterwinners from the 2007 team, there weren’t many who expected the Rams to thrive, this season; but not the Rams themselves. The team fought hard in all 11 games and battled their way to a 3-8 record with some fantastic wins this season. The Rams broke into the win column in a big way defeating the Howard Bison 34-10 at the Bowman Gray Stadium. The game saw the Rams controlled the entire game jumping out to an early 14-0 lead and never looking back in the win. The Rams would return to the win column three weeks later when the team defeated the Hampton Pirates, 35-30 for the second straight season and picked up their first road win of 2008. Highlight the win was a 106-yard blocked kick return by senior defensive back David Irizarry that turned out to be key play of the win. The Rams followed the effort by taking a clutch 27-26 win over defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Delaware State. After jumping ahead of the Hornets, 14-7, the Rams gave up 19 unanswered points to the Hornets. The team was able to fight back with 13 second half points and the WSSU defense held off the Hornets to seal the win. Though the Rams only won three games in 2008, the wins were big ones and will be key building blocks in building the future of Rams football. With a number of key players lost from the previous season, a large number of young Rams stepped in for some fantastic efforts in 2008. After a rough start, WSSU redshirt-junior quarterback Jarrett Dunston continued to develop as a quarterback and became a great offensive weapon for the Rams. The redshirt-junior passed for 958 yards and rushed for a team-high nine touchdowns. Redshirt-freshman running back Nicholas Cooper also had a great season as well rushing for 488 yards, including rushing for 144 yards against Savannah State. Redshirt-senior wide receiver Bryant Bayne wouldn’t let the youngsters have all the fun, however, as he pulled in a team-high 26 catches for 353 yards and two touchdowns in just five games before missing the final six games of the season with an injury. When Bayne was sidelined by injury, freshman Dominique Fitzgerald stepped in for a 16 catches and 223 yards. The Rams’ defense was led by the junior tandem of redshirt-junior Marcus Coates safety and junior linebacker Juan Corders. Coates finished the season as the team’s leader in tackles with 60 tackles (42 solo) and 3.5 tackles for a loss. Corders was a close second with 58 tackles (29 solo) and four tackles for a loss. Coates was also one of the team’s top pass defenders with five pass breakups. Senior defensive back DeRon Middleton and redshirtjunior Alex Chandler added a pair of pass interceptions to lead the Rams secondary as well. The 2008 season was one that will pay big dividends for the Rams in the future. Volleyball The seeds planted in 2007 bloomed in the 2008 season for the Lady Rams as a number of talented newcomers from last season became key returnees this season. The team made a number of great strides this season took the team to new heights. The Lady Rams totaled 724 kills last season with 942 digs. At 4-28, the Lady Rams matched last season’s win total and had a season highlight by playing their way into the championship game of the 2008 Lady Rams Invitational Tournament. The tournament was a turning point for the Lady Rams, who had gotten off to a slow start to the season. The effort left the team playing with much more confidence and had showed a marked improvement. With the newfound confidence, the Lady Rams also took set wins from Mid-Eastern Athletic foes Bethune-Cookman, Norfolk State, and took the rival North Carolina A&T Lady Aggies to a clutch five-set match. The team did struggle to deal with injury issues, however, as the team had to deal with the loss of freshman setter Alexandria Brown, who had become a key cog in the Lady Rams’ wheel. She finished the season with a team-high 210 assists despite missing nearly 48 sets. However, senior Valentina Pushkina was able to step in a fill the void for the Lady Rams and added192 assists for the team. WSSU junior hitter Annika Barnwell led the way for the Lady Rams with a team-high 203 kills and 700 total attacks. Sophomore hitter Ashley Harris was a close second with 148 kills. Fellow sophomore Erica Cole was one of the team’s top defenders with 197 digs to lead the Lady Rams. Freshman middle blocker Jasmine Frazier made an immediate impact for the Lady Rams with a team-high 57 total blocks, edging out junior middle blocker Georgette Allen who had 51. The 2008 season was one that saw a great deal of development for the Lady Rams. Women’s Cross Country Though there was a number of new faces, the constant of successful performances stayed the same. The baby steps taken by the Rams and Lady Rams cross country teams usually came at the front of the pack this season. WSSU senior Irene Jeptolo returned for her senior season and had some phenomenal efforts for the Lady Rams. She highlighted the 2008 season with a first place finish at the Greensboro Invitational in Hagan Stone Park. The senior completed the 5K run in 19:21 through rainy weather to lead the field in the tough meet. While Jeptolo grabbed the headlines, the freshman duo of Jasmine Whitener and freshman Ashley Lawson made a pair of great debuts and showed that the future for Lady Rams cross country is set to be very bright. Whitener had a number of great finishes for the Lady Rams. She was just over a minute behind Jeptolo at the Greensboro Invitational.

WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY 2008-09 Athletics Year in Review Fellow freshman Ashley Lawson also had a great freshman season for the Lady Rams, placing in the top 20 twice during the season. Men’s Cross Country There was a youth movement on the Rams’ 2008 team as the team featured just one senior and three freshmen. But the youth of the team didn’t stop the squad from having a successful season. The WSSU freshman trio of Aaron Barnes, Desmond Wiggan, Elijah Strickland made their first season as Rams a fantastic one. Wiggan wasted no time at all making a name for himself as a Ram with a third place finish at the UNC-Pembroke Invitational, the first meet of his collegiate career. He finished the 5K race in 21:45.67 to pace the Rams in the event. Two weeks later, it was Barnes with the best WSSU finish at the 2008 Asics/Winthrop Invitational with a 66th place finish among 122 runners. He finished the 8K run in 27:23. He edged out Wiggan who finished 69th in 27:27. Barnes continued his great season pacing the Rams at the Greensboro Invitational with a eighth place finish in 27:44 in the 8K event among 22 teams. The 2008 season was another step forward for Rams cross country. Men’s Basketball The 2008-09 season was one filled with challenges for the Rams’ men’s basketball team, but the Rams turned those challenges into opportunities for growth and made the season one to be proud of. The Rams opened the season with an historic trip to the Bahamas for a pair of exhibition games. The Rams played two games in four days in Nassau when the team took on Bahamas Select and the Bahamas All-Stars, a pair of club teams based in Nassau. The Rams split games int eh two-game affair with a win over the Bahamas AllStars, but being edged out by the Bahamas Select team. Things got a bit tougher for the Rams when the regular season started, however, as the Rams struggled against a tough non-conference schedule with losses to Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Illinois State adding to the Rams’ early struggles. However, the team was able to battle back for a hard-fought win at South Carolina State, the first win over the Bulldogs since the Rams’ move to NCAA Division I and since joining the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The win was an important one for the Rams as the team followed the effort by winning three of their next five games, including picking up a 66-51 road win at North Carolina Central and home wins over Averett and Columbia Union. The Rams’ momentum didn’t last however, with some struggles in the bulk of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schedule. After dropping six straight losses, the Rams bounced back in a big way taking a pair of road wins at Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman. The wins were two of three wins over a five game stretch by the Rams. The Rams would return to the win column with a 68-64 road win at Norfolk State, the MEAC runner-up in the conference championship tournament. As a team, the Rams had a solid effort averaging 58.0 points and 33.7 rebounds per game. The effort was a solid one, but the Rams struggled on the defensive end allowing 67.4 points per game to their opponents. The tandem of senior forward Jamal Durham and junior guard Brian Fisher led the charge for the Rams this season. Fisher was the team’s leading scorer at 13.9 points per game while Durham was a close second at 12.9 points per game. Durham also led the Rams in rebounding at 5.8 rebounds per game. Sophomore center Paul Davis added a teamhigh 46 blocked shots. Though the season didn’t see as many wins as Rams wanted, the squad saw tremendous growth and it will be the building block for generations to come. Women’s Basketball The 2008-09 women’s basketball season turned out to be a rollercoaster for the Lady Rams, but the team made the season one with more highs that lows. After struggling for much of the season, the Lady Rams found their stride late in final stretch with a four wins in their final seven games and posting wins win three of the final four games of the season. As a team, the Lady Rams averaged 52.5 points per game and were especially tough in close games. Of the Lady Rams’ six wins, four were by five points or less. Highlighting the Lady Rams’ season was a clutch 59-56 win over the Howard Lady Bison that saw WSSU sophomore guard Rene Rector hit a three-pointer with just a few seconds left on the clock. It was Rector who led the way for the Lady Rams with a 10.1 point-per-game scoring average this season and 51 three-pointers made.

WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY 2008-09 Athletics Year in Review Women’s Indoor Track & Field The 2008-09 indoor track & field season was another great one in the short, but storied history of Lady Rams track & field. The WSSU core of sprinters made a number of great strides during the indoor season. The Lady Rams were especially impressive in the women’s 60m dash where the trio of senior Wykeita Barnett, junior Kayla Long, and freshmen Denesha Jiles had some phenomenal efforts during the indoor season. Barnett qualified for the finals in the 60m dash in all three of the indoor meets that she competed in. She had her best time of the season in the preliminaries at the Liberty Kick Off where she finished with a 7.73 in the event. Fellow senior Sandy Harrison made her mark at the Liberty Open when she finished second in the women’s 500m dash in 1:21.09. The Lady Ram freshmen also had some great indoor performances with sprinters Denesha Jiles and Crystal Webley both notching some great times this season. Webley was especially impressive at the 2009 Liberty Fast Times where she finished fifth in the women’s 60m hurdles in 9.30. The Lady Rams’ 4x400m relay teams also had some phenomenal efforts in the outdoor season. The WSSU relay teams took two of the top three spots at the Liberty Kick-Off. The WSSU ‘A’ team took first place in the event at 4:04.70 while the WSSU ‘B’ team took third place in 4:11.87. The 2008-09 Lady Rams enjoyed much success during the season and was a great showing for WSSU track & field. Men’s Indoor Track & Field The Rams had another great indoor season with the upperclassmen leading the way. Junior sprinter Paul Williams has returned from some injuries earlier in his career for a great effort this season. Williams finished second in the men’s 60m dash at the Liberty Fast Times in a 6.98 and was edged out by .05 seconds for first place in the event. He won the men’s 60m dash at the Liberty Kick Off in 6.84 and finished second in the men’s 200m dash at the event in 22.42. Senior Gerrod Sidbury continued his great career for the Rams. The senior took first place in the men’s 400m dash at the Liberty Kick Off in 49.12. After just three seasons of competition, the 2008-09 indoor track & field season was one of the best in the history of WSSU and offered a glimpse of much greater success to come. Bowling The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams bowling team took a giant step forward with a stellar 2008-09 season. The Lady Rams finished the season with a 14-79 overall record. The Lady Rams’ 14 wins more than tripled the team’s win total and competed against some of the top teams in the nation. Among the teams that the Lady Rams notched wins over during the season, the Lady Rams recorded wins over every team in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s Southern Division and notched a win over a top 20 team, defeating #19 St. Francis at the Morgan State Classic in Baltimore, Md. The Lady Rams’ best single day outing came at the National Bowling Classic, hosted by Bowie State, when the team racked up three Baker game wins. The Lady Rams defeated Lincoln (Pa.), St. Paul’s, and Coppin State all on the same day. WSSU junior Christina McDowell led the way for the Lady Rams this season with 6,384 total pins for the season and a 155.7 average. Not far behind was senior Ciera Swinney who totaled 6,328 total pins for the season and averaged 154.3 pins per game. Cheerleading The Winston-Salem State White and Red Team Cheerleading squads had a great 2008-09 season with some stellar performances through the athletic year. The two squads were supportive of the Rams and Lady Rams all season long at football and both men’s and women’s basketball. The Lady Rams’ Red Team even showed support for the Rams basketball team in Norfolk,Va. and cheered the Rams to a victory over the Norfolk State Spartans. The Lady Rams saw the culmination of their efforts when the team placed third in the All-Girls Division at the 2009 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Cheerleading Championships. WSSU sophomore Regan Hales took home all-star honors at the event as well. The 2008-09 season was a successful one for the Lady Rams cheerleading squads. Golf The 2009 golf season is shaping up to be a great one with some solid performances from a Rams squad that features a good mix of experienced leaders along with some fresh talent. Last season’s leader Jerrell Fields has returned to lead the Rams to a great season in 2009. One of his best efforts of the season came at the 2009 WSSU Golf Invitational where the junior turned in a team-high 170 for the tournament. He finished fourth in the field in the tournament. Fellow junior Steven Mason has also seen a solid effort this season with a 10th place tie in the event. Mason finished with a two-day total of 177 for the tournament.

WINSTON-SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY 2008-09 Athletics Year in Review Softball The 2009 Lady Rams had to deal with the loss of several key players from last season’s team, but you couldn’t tell that from the effort that the Lady Rams have put forth this season. Through just two months of play, the Lady Rams have already notched seven wins and are continuing to battle towards what will be a successful season for WSSU softball. The Lady Rams got the season off to a strong start with a pair of wins at the Tiny Laster Fast Pitch Invitational. The Lady Rams carried the pride of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference into the tournament which featured a group of teams from the MEAC taking some teams from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The Lady Rams also had a strong effort at the Hampton Lady Pirates Classic with a 3-2 record at the tournament. The Lady Rams took a pair of wins over Coppin State and another win over South Carolina State. Senior infielder Leslie Hollis had a stellar season as one of the team’s top hitters in batting average and senior infielder Kendall Sutton and fellow senior pitcher Amber Shore are two of the team’s leaders in RBI. The 2009 season has been one to be proud of for Lady Rams softball. Men’s Tennis Making another step forward this season was the 2009 Rams’ tennis team. Under the guidance of head coach Charles Schoderbek, the Rams had an historic season despite some struggles throughout the year. The young Rams squad featured just three players with more than one season of collegiate competition, but fought on to post a 1-18 overall record. Highlighting the season was the Rams’ 7-0 win over the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Fighting Hawks. The win was one of the biggest in school history as it marked the first time that the Rams scored a shutout win over an NCAA Division I opponent. The duo of sophomore Brian Coxton and freshman Joab Odera combined to lead the WSSU attack with six wins each for the pair. Coxton posted a 6-12 individual record for the Rams, playing all 18 of his matches at the number one position. Odera was 6-13 and played in the fourth, fifth, and sixth positions for the Rams. He posted a 2-6 effort as a number five player, and a 4-5 record as the number six. The season will be one to remember as the Rams continue to carry the tradition of WSSU men’s tennis. Women’s Tennis The Lady Rams didn’t let their youth hold them back at all as the squad battled their way through an historic 2009 season. The entire Lady Ram roster consisted of freshmen and sophomores, but what the team lacked in experience, they more than made up for in talent and tenacity. The 2009 Lady Rams battled their way to a 1-19 record and fought hard in every contest of the season. The team recorded an historic win with a 7-0 win over the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Lady Hawks in Sumter, South Carolina. The win marked the first time in school history that the Lady Rams took a shutout win over an NCAA Division I opponent. WSSU sophomore Johanna Nunez led the Lady Rams’ attack with a team-best 5-13 record, primarily playing in the second and third position. During the season, she played in the first through the fourth positions for the Lady Rams. Her best efforts came in the second and third positions where she totaled a 4-9 record. She was twoand-6 at the second position and 2-3 at the third position. With one of the youngest teams in school history, the 2009 season will serve as a building block to future success for Lady Rams tennis. The 2008-09 season saw a number of growing pains for Winston-Salem State University athletics as the entire program continued its path as an NCAA Division I program. The Rams and Lady Rams saw growth in every program. The season will be remembered as another step towards the future for WSSU athletics.

STOKES WSSU Lady Rams Head Basketball Coach Record at WSSU: 17-69 (3 Seasons) Career Record: 67-121 (Six Seasons) Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball head coach Dee Stokes will head into her fourth season. Under her leadership, the Lady Rams continue the storied legacy of Lady Rams basketball. Her leadership and tenacity will lead the way for Winston-Salem State women’s basketball as the program enters a new era in its storied history. She is a great leader with a history of success and a wealth of coaching knowledge and experience.

DEE STOKES HEAD COACH

Education: UNC-Charlotte 1993 – B.A. DeVry University 2004 – Master’s of Public Administration

Coaching Experience:

Taking over a program that had seen some recent struggles at the NCAA Division II level and leading that team was not an easy task for Stokes, but it 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 200203 season and has not won more than 12 games in the three previous seasons. During her career, Stokes had focused on recruiting quality student-athletes and leading the way to great academic strides. Under her guidance, the Lady Rams are consistently ranked in the top tier of WSSU athletic teams in grade point average (GPA). During her career at WSSU, Stokes’ teams have finished with a 2.83.0 GPA in all but one semester. Stokes took the reins of the Lady Rams women’s basketball program on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 when former 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.

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. The team’s 75-64 overtime win over the Norfolk State Spartans marked the team’s first win over the Lady Spartans since the 1989-90 season. 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 WinstonSalem State Lady Rams. With Stokes at the helm for the Lady Rams, the team has had the unique distinction of winning the final game of the season in three straight seasons, something that no team has done during that span. In fact, the only other teams in America that win their final games are the NCAA champions and the WNIT champions. 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 12game improvement and winning the most games in a season in school history.

WSSURAMS.COM

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. Stokes currently holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from UNC-Charlotte (1993), a Master’s of Public Administration degree from DeVry University (2004), and is currently pursuing an Education Specialist Doctoral Degree from Liberty University.

2009-10 WSSU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

SEASON OUTLOOK After doubling their win total from the previous season, the WinstonSalem State Lady Rams will look for much more in the upcoming 2009-10 season. The 2009-10 Lady Rams represent the culmination of a three-year building process. Two seasons ago, the Lady Rams were the youngest team in the country, but now the team is experienced and ready for a breakout effort this season. With five juniors and five sophomores, the 2009-10 team will be the most cohesive unit in the four years under head coach Dee Stokes. “We are extremely excited about this season,” Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball head coach Dee Stokes said. “This is our last season in NCAA Division I and we want it to be the best. Simply put, our motto is: THIS IS IT.” One of the keys to the season will be dealing with the graduation of former Lady Ram guard Keoshia Worthy, who amassed 236 career assists and started in 79-of-85 games during her career at WinstonSalem State. Last season, Worthy was one of the key leaders on the WSSU squad with 119 assists and 21 steals. Though the Lady Rams will be without Worthy, the team will return with talent to continue the resurgence of Lady Rams basketball. GUARDS The Lady Rams will head into the upcoming season with few questions in the backcourt as the team will return a quartet of talented guards who can compete against any team in the nation. The Lady Rams’ backcourt will no doubt be a cohesive unit with three juniors and a sophomore returning to don the red & white. The 2009-10 backcourt for the Lady Rams will feature offense with

the tandem of junior Rene Rector and redshirt-junior MaLisa Bumpus leading the WSSU attack. The two players combined to average 22.3 points per game last season, nearly a third of the Lady Rams’ total offensive output for the season. For her career, Rector has been one of the top performers for the Lady Rams, playing in all but one game of her career and averaging 9.2 points per contest. Last season, she finished as the team’s top scorer with 282 total points and averaging 10.1 points per game. She is also making her way into the WSSU record books as one of the top three-point shooters in school history. Her 89 three-pointers made places her third on the all-time three pointers made list while her 51 three-pointers made last season were the second-most by a Lady Ram in a single season. She was also one of the team’s top defenders with a team-best 42 steals last season. Also returning will be redshirt-junior MaLisa Bumpus. She will give the team an offensive punch this season. She is a talented scorer that can strike from anywhere on the court. For the season, she averaged a team-best 12.2 points per game, but saw action in just 19 games. She missed the first part of the season while she sat out as a transfer from James Madison University. She wasted little time making a name for herself with a team-best 13 points against Liberty and a career-high 23 points at Furman to begin her career. She also added 33 assists and 18 steals last season. However, Bumpus is recovering from a seasonending knee injury, but has looked strong in the preseason and could be ready to go in 2009. While Bumpus and Rector are two of the team’s top offensive efforts, fellow junior Nikki Kee will be one of the top overall performers on the Lady Rams squad. Her strength and ability at both ends of

OFFICIAL 2009-10

the court could be one of the key factors in the upcoming season. After emerging as one of the team’s top defensive players during her freshman season, Kee turned up her offensive efforts last season, leading the team in scoring in three of the squad’s last nine games, including a 20-point effort that pushed the Lady Rams past Florida A&M. With the departure of redshirt-senior Keoshia Worthy, last season’s leader in assists, sophomore Porsche Harrell could be the key to the WSSU offense at the point guard position this season. Harrell is a quick player and a natural facilitator of offense and has all the tools to drive the Lady Rams past opponents this season. She finished last season with 34 assists, the second most among returning players this season.

with her combination of quickness and range. For her career, Woods is averaging just below a double-double 9.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. Also a top defender, her 32 blocked shots places her ninth on the Winston-Salem State all-time list. Last season, she averaged 9.9 points per game and led the team with 8.5 rebounds per game. Joining her in the frontcourt will be fellow junior Jalesa Byrd, who had some struggles last season, averaging 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. A strong, quick athlete who shows a lot of toughness on the court, Byrd could give the team a needed physical presence on the court.

FORWARDS The Lady Rams will return with an experienced and athletic frontcourt that will give the team a solid presence at both ends of the court this season. With some of the most talented and athletic players in school history, the 2009-10 Lady Rams frontcourt will have all they need to compete with the challenging cast of opponents.

Also returning in the WSSU frontcourt will be the sophomore tandem of Jillian Charlet and Chloe Morse. Both players were key performers off the bench last season and showed a lot of potential as true freshmen last season. Charlet saw time in all 23 games last season with six starts. Though her efforts didn’t show up in the statistics very often, she provided a needed physical presence at both ends of the court. Another strong, physical athlete, Morse was another great freshman performer for the Lady Rams. Morse added some needed quickness to the WSSU frontcourt and is poised to break out as a top player after a full season of play in the Lady Rams system.

Leading the way for the Lady Rams in the frontcourt will be junior forward Vontisha Woods, the team’s leading rebounder for the past two seasons and the top scoring threat in the frontcourt. She is a tall, quick player who could be one of the best pure athletes on the team

Also joining the WSSU frontcourt will be freshman forward Shawanda Hanton from Orangeburg-Wilkinson High School. Hanton is a talented athlete with a great shooting touch. Her combination of athleticism and scoring ability could be the missing piece of the Lady Rams’ puzzle. CENTERS The Lady Rams will return with some top talent at the center position with the duo of sophomores Jordhan Peterson and Elizabeth Maas returning. After opening the season as a top reserve, Peterson worked her way into a starting role with the Lady Rams toward the end of the season while Maas struggled early in her transition to the college game, but has shown signs of great potential. “Our guards have been our strong point for the last three seasons,” Stokes added. “If we want to be successful this season, we must develop a back to the basket presence in the paint.” Peterson is a tall, athletic player that gave the Lady Rams a solid pivot presence at both ends of the court. She is a strong defender and has shown great potential as a scoring presence on the offensive end. At 6’3”, Peterson had more than enough quickness to keep the WSSU offense going at the up-tempo pace that puts points on the scoreboard quickly. However, when the Lady Rams need to slow things down and be methodical, they have a great option in sophomore center Elizabeth Maas. At 6’5”, Maas displayed signs of great potential last season and is poised for a breakout effort this season. She is a strong player who will allow the Lady Rams to match up against any opponent on the WSSU schedule. With the cast of returnees and some quality newcomers, 2009-10 season could be one of the best.

ELON, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-2) put up a fight when the team took on the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks (2-0) on day two of the Ises Cancer Awareness Tip-off at Elon University. Though the Lady Rams shot well in the loss with a 39.6% field goal percentage, the team could not match a UNC-Wilmington team that shot a scorching 41.9% from the field and forced 25 WSSU turnovers. The Lady Rams matched the Seahawks in points in the paint 22-22, but could not overcome allowing 26 points off of WSSU turnovers. WSSU sophomore guard Rene Rector led the way for the Lady Rams with 20 points in the game, just four points shy of tying her career-high. Rector was four of six from the three-point line with four rebounds and three steals. The first half was a tough one for the Lady Rams who found points hard to come by against a tall, physical UNC-Wilmington team. In the game’s early going, it was the Lady Rams who came out strong on defensive end, holding the Seahawks scoreless on their first two possessions and forcing three early turnovers. However, the Lady Rams struggled to get their own offense going as the team was held scoreless for the first four minutes of the game and fell into a 7-0 hole early.WSSU freshman center Elizabeth Maas would break the seal for the Lady Rams taking a pass from sophomore Corbin Bradford for a lay-in with 15:32 left in the half.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-3) gave a great effort in front of a capacity crowd, but came up short in a 53-49 loss to the U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen (2-1) in the WSSU home opener. The Lady Rams matched or beat the Mids in nearly every statistical category, but missed some critical free throw opportunities that sealed the loss. As a team, the Lady Rams shot an impressive 33.3% from the field and committed only 15 team turnovers in the game, but struggled with a 34.8% free throw percentage at home in the loss.The Lady Rams were 8-of-23 from the “charity” stripe while the Midshipmen were 20-of-29 from the free throw line. The WSSU duo of sophomore guard Rene Rector and sophomore forward Vontisha Woods led the way for the Lady Rams with 13 points each in the loss. Another WSSU sophomore forward Jalesa Byrd added a team-high seven rebounds in the game. The game’s early going saw the Lady Rams stumble out of the gate as the squad was held scoreless for the first eight minutes of play.The young WSSU squad relied on its defensive efforts to keep the game in reach as the Lady Rams only allowed 11 Midshipmen points during the drought. It was a Woods lay-up at the 11:19 mark that would break the seal for the Lady Rams and spark the team’s first run of the game. Following the Woods basket, the Lady Rams would go on to outscore the Midshipmen, 10-5 to pull within five points, 10-15 with just over six minutes left in the half. The Lady Rams’ offensive woes would rise once again, however as the team allowed a 15-4 run by the Midshipmen to close the half and left the Lady Rams trailing, 17-30 at the half.

The WSSU starting lineup had a great night, scoring 33 of the team’s 38 points. Lady Rams forward Vontisha Woods recorded her second double-double of the season with 11 points and 11 rebounds in the game. Fellow sophomore Rene Rector added eight points in the game. WSSU’s Woods powered the Lady Rams’ first half efforts with nine rebounds in the half, but the team struggled mightily against the Demon Deacons defense that held the squad to just 20 shot attempts in the half. The first half was a defensive struggle early with the Lady Rams matching the Deacons at both ends of the court and battling to a 4-5 score on a Woods jumper at the 15:26 mark. left to play, but the WSSU offense would shut down late in the half. Down the stretch of the second half, the Lady Rams would manage just four points in the final nine minutes of the game. The WSSU drought left the Lady Rams trailing, 13-36 at the half.

GREENSBORO, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-5) took their toughest loss of the season, Friday when the team fell to the Bowling Green State Falcons (3-2) in the opening game of the UNC-Greensboro/Marriott Classic in nearby Greensboro, N.C. The Lady Rams ended the day with an 80-43 loss to the Falcons despite a stellar effort by sophomore guard Nikki Kee. Kee powered the Lady Rams with a career-high 18 points and a career-high four three-pointers, but the effort was not enough as the Lady Rams were outmatched by the Falcons who finished the game with the highest point-total allowed by the Lady Rams and a season-high 54.9% field goal percentage in the game. Kee was the onl WSSU scorer in double digits in the game with sophomore forward Vontisha Woods leading the team’s rebounding effort with 10 boards in the game. The Lady Rams got off to a slow start to the contest with turnovers and early fouls plaguing the Lady Rams in the early going. A lay-up by WSSU redshirt-senior guard Keoshia Worthy was the Lady Ram’s sole score for the first four minutes of the game, leaving the Lady Rams trailing the Falcons 8-2 with just over 16 minutes left to play in the half. Worthy would find Woods under the basket to snap the WSSU drought, but things would remain tough for the Lady Rams as Bowling Green extended its lead to 13 points, 17-4 with 13:37 left in the half and forcing a WSSU timeout. Through the first five minutes of the game, the Lady Rams totaled just two field goals, four turnovers, and four team fouls.

GREENSBORO, NC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-6) ended their stay at the UNC-Greensboro/Marriott Classic with a 57-43 loss to the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles (4-1), Saturday afternoon. WSSU redshirt-senior guard Keoshia Worthy had a stellar performance with a career-high 17 points in the game, but the effort was not enough as the Lady Rams came up short against the Eagles.

The team shot 42.9% from the field in the game, setting a season team-high, but the squad’s turnovers limited the team’s shots. WSSU sophomore forward Vontisha Woods also recorded 17 points with nine rebounds in the game.The duo of Woods and Worthy scored a combined 34 of the Lady Rams’ 43 points in the loss. The first half was a roller coaster for the Lady Rams as the team started the half with some struggles, but showed flashes of fantastic play at both ends of the court at times. The team got off to a slow start to the half, falling into a 10-2 early deficit in the first five minutes of the half. After opening the game with a lay-up by sophomore forward Vontisha Woods, the Lady Rams were held scoreless for the next four minutes of the half with Worthy breaking the seal with a lay-up with just over 14 minutes left in the half.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Though the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-7) gave a great effort, the team could not seem to get into gear as the team took a 64-55 loss to the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs (5-2), Thursday evening at the C.E. Gaines Center. The Lady Rams’ strong second half effort was not enough for the team to battle back from some first half and early second half struggles.

The two teams were nearly equal in the other statistical categories with WSSU holding the 38-34 rebounding edge and committing four fewer total turnovers than the Bulldogs.

ORANGEBURG, SC - The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-8) could never quote find their way in a 64-44 loss to the South Carolina State Lady Bulldogs (24) in Orangeburg, Saturday. The Lady Rams had their struggles at both ends of the court in the loss as the squad was held to a 26.7% field goal percentage while the hotshooting Lady Bulldogs finished the game with a 48.0% field goal percentage in the game. Heading into the game, the Lady Rams were decimated with four WSSU players sidelined by injury. The WSSU bench got shorter and shorter throughout the contest as foul troubles plagued the team for much of the contest. The WSSU foul troubles were most apparent in the first half when the team had twice as many fouls (8) as the home team (4). Though the team had its struggles, the Lady Rams did have some solid individual efforts as sophomore forward Vontisha Woods and redshirt-senior guard Keoshia Worthy both scored 13 points each in the game. Woods led the WSSU rebounding effort with nine rebounds despite missing her first start of the season. Worthy also led the Lady Rams in assists with four in the contest. The Lady Rams were able to keep the game within reach for much of the first half as a three-pointer by sophomore guard Rene Rector cut the WSSU deficit down to just five points, 15-20 with 8:38 left in the half. The Lady Rams would never break the five-point barrier when a WSSU shooting drought that saw the Lady Rams go scoreless for three minutes would allow South Carolina State to score 11 unanswered points and regain control of the contest, 31-15 with just over five minutes left in the half.

GREENVILLE, SC – The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-11) ended 2008 on a down note with a 69-52 New Year’s Eve loss to the Furman Paladins (7-6), Wednesday afternoon.

TALLHASSEE, FL – Though the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (1-17) had one of their best offensive efforts of the season, the team could not match the scorching hot Florida A&M Lady Rattlers (8-10) in a 69-59 loss. The Lady Rams had their second highest-scoring outing of the season, but could not stop the Lady Rattlers who answered every WSSU charge of the contest. The was a very close contest on paper as one percent was the difference between the two offenses as WSSU shot an impressive 40.4% from the field only to be matched by Florida A&M’s 41.4% shooting in the contest and the Lady Rams pulling in just three fewer rebounds (36) than FAMU (39). One likely key to the WSSU loss was the team’s 6-of-13 effort from the three-point line. The Lady Rams lost the battle a the free throw line with FAMU hitting eight more free throws than WSSU. Leading the way for the Lady Rams was the backcourt duo of sophomores MaLisa Bumpus who poured in 18 points in the game and Rene Rector, who added 17 points, 13 of which came in the second half. Bumpus was also the team’s top rebounder in the contest with seven rebounds in the contest. The Lady Rams had a great first half effort, building a four point, 12-8 lead at the 12:45 mark. A lay-up by sophomore forward Vontisha Woods capped the WSSU effort. The Lady Rams would hold on the lead for the next six minutes until a FAMU three-pointer at the 6:47 mark would put the Lady Rams behind, 16-17. The Lady Rams would not give up, however, reclaiming the lead, 21-20 with 3:04 on a pair of free throws by freshman forward Jillian Charlet. Down the stretch of the half, however, the Lady Rams were outscored 4-3 to take a 23-24 deficit into the locker room at halftime.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team seems to have found a comfort zone as of late as they carried an air confidence into Saturday afternoon at the Joel Coliseum where they handed visiting Morgan State University a 66-61 loss in a contest whose outcome was in doubt until the final moments. The Lady Rams trailed by as many as seven points in the first half as the Lady Bears led 20-13 with only 5:18 to play in the period. Undaunted, the Lady Rams mounted a 13-5 run over the first-half’s closing moments en route to turning a seven-point deficit into a one-point advantage as the period came to a close with WSSU leading at the half 26-25 as the Lady Rams led at intermission for only the fifth time in 2008-09. The run was sparked by Vontisha Woods who tallied a pair of lay-ups and a pair of free throws as she single-handedly willed the Lady Rams to their one-point halftime lead. Second-half action was nearly a polar opposite of the game’s first 20 minutes of play as WSSU built up an advantage of their own as the Lady Rams opened the half with a 9-2 run, increasing their one-point lead to a game-high eight points on a Keoshia Worthy lay-up with 16:34 remaining in the contest. The Lady Rams would mount a final 15 minutes of play that saw them shoot 48 percent from the field as WSSU hit 12 of their 25 second-half field goal attempts in a period in which they kept the Lady Bears at bay. “This was our most complete defensive game of the year,” WSSU head women’s basketball coach Dee Stokes said. “That was the biggest key to the game”. Leading the way for the Lady Rams was Vontisha Woods who tallied a team-high 15 points in the contest as she led three Lady Rams in double-figures.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC – One of the biggest rivalries in North Carolina women’s collegiate basketball lived up to its name Wednesday night when the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (2-20) took a heartbreaking 68-66 loss to the North Carolina Central Lady Eagles (9-16) at the C.E. Gaines Center. The Lady Rams mounted a furious late game rally that pulled the game within reach, but a crucial WSSU foul late ended the Lady Rams’ chances of grinding out the victory. After falling behind by nine points 54-63 with 2:53 left to play, the Lady Rams stormed back into the contest on a 12-5 run led by sophomore guard Nikki Kee who nailed a pair of three-pointers to pull the Lady Rams back into the game. WSSU freshman center Jordhan Peterson clinched the WSSU run with a lay-up at the 00:21 mark that pulled the Lady Rams to within one point, 66-67. However, the Lady Rams’ hopes were dashed when Peterson was called for an illegal screen with seven seconds left that ended WSSU’s final offensive possession of the game and ended the Lady Rams’ charge. The Lady Rams fought hard throughout the contest with a 47.1% field goal percentage and matching the Lady Eagles with 28 rebounds each in the game. WSSU sophomore guard Nikki Kee led the way for the Lady Rams with a career-high 19 points in the game behind a 4-for-9 effort from the three-point line. WSSU redshirt-senior guard Keoshia Worthy also had a career-high with 13 points and a career-high nine rebounds. The Augusta, Ga. native also added a pair of threepointers.The effort marked the first time in her career, that Worthy has hit multiple three-pointers in a single game. WSSU sophomore forward Jalesa Byrd added nine rebounds to lead the Lady Rams on the glass.

Adding to the Lady Rams’ difficulties, WSSU would hit only three of their 27 first half shots as the home team turned in the season’s poorest shooting half of basketball as they connected on only 11.1 percent of their shots.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - WSSU fans have seen it before and on Saturday afternoon at the Joel Coliseum Annex they got to see it again. Rene Rector’s lastsecond three-pointer lifted the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams past the Lady Bison of Howard as Rector repeated her late-game heroics versus the Bison for the second consecutive season en route to earning WSSU a 59-56 victory over Howard on Valentine’s Day. With the game tied at 56-56 with 23 seconds remaining following a clutch 12 foot jumper from Howard’s Natalie Day, Rector would prove to be the Lady Bison killer for the second straight year as she calmly drilled a step-back three-pointer from the left corner of the court that hit nothing but the bottom of the net with one second remaining in what would prove to be a three-point WSSU victory. Last-second heroics are nothing new to the sophomore guard, a local product from Mt. Tabor high school, as Saturday’s performance was nearly a mirror image of last season’s meeting in Winston-Salem, N.C. between the two teams. In that contest, played at the Joel Coliseum on Jan. 19, 2008, Rector’s coast-tocoast layup with three seconds remaining proved to be the game winner as she propelled WSSU to their first win of the 2007-08 season. Saturday evening Rector took things one step further as her game-winning shot came from 19 feet farther back, but with the same crowd-pleasing result. Independent of Rector’s shot the contest between the two teams proved to be an exciting one as WSSU and Howard exchanged leads 10 times and saw the score deadlocked on 11 different occasions.

GREENSBORO, NC – The bragging rights will remain in Greensboro, N.C. for another year as the Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (3-22) took a 84-46 loss at North Carolina A&T (19-6, 11-1 MEAC), Saturday afternoon. The Lady Rams gave a great effort and fought hard all game long, but were outmatched against the defending Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference regular season champions. Though the Lady Rams never lacked for effort in the game, the team could not get over the turnovers and early foul troubles that plagued the team all game long. For the game, the Lady Rams committed 31 turnovers and allowed the Lady Aggies to shoot a scorching 43.1% from the field in the game. The 82 points allowed in the game were the most points scored by a WSSU opponent this season. The Lady Rams gave one of their best early efforts of the season as the Lady Rams were with the Lady Aggies for most of the first half, but foul troubles and turnovers proved costly to the Lady Rams as the team fell into a 25-41 deficit at the half. The Lady Rams opened the game with a great effort jumping out to an early 5-2 lead in the first two minutes of the half. It was a three-pointer by sophomore guard Rene Rector with just over 18 minutes left to play that put the Lady Rams out front. Though the Lady Rams would relinquish the lead over the next three minutes, the team would stay in the game holding the Lady Aggies within reach, 12-12 at the 13:39 mark.

WSSU sophomore guard and fellow sophomore forward Vontisha Woods scored 16 points each in the contest while sophomore guard Rene Rector added 13 points. Redshirt-sophomore guard MaLisa Bumpus rounded out the scoring threat for the Lady Rams with 11 points.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Winston-Salem State University women’s basketball team’s streak of 751 straight days without back-to-back victories ended on Saturday afternoon as the Lady Rams downed the Lady Rattlers of Florida A&M University 69-64 at the Joel Coliseum in MEAC women’s basketball action.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Vontisha Woods’ 15 points and career-high 19 rebounds were not enough on Monday evening as the Bethune-Cookman Lady Wildcats handed the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University a 54-50 defeat at the Joel Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C. in MEAC women’s basketball action.

The Lady Rams, a team that had not won consecutive games since defeating Morgan State (71-66 on Feb. 3, 2007) and Bethune-Cookman (49-44 on Feb. 8, 2007) back-to-back during the 2006-07 season posted their second straight victory despite losing leading scorer MaLisa Bumpus less than six minutes into the game with what looks to be a season-ending knee injury.

Woods led two WSSU players in double-figures as Rene Rector added 11 points and four rebounds in a losing effort as Winston-Salem State saw their two-game win streak snapped en route to falling to 5-23 on the season.

Bumpus, a redshirt sophomore guard that leads the Lady Rams in scoring at over 12 points per game was lost only 5:36 into the contest when she twisted her left knee after pulling down a rebound on a FAMU missed free throw. Despite the injury to Bumpus, the Lady Rams saw four players step up with double-digit scoring performances en route to the victory as reserve guard Nikki Kee turned in a career-high 20 points as the sophomore from Greensboro, N.C. (Dudley HS) hit seven of her 14 field goal attempts in 28 minutes of work for the Lady Rams. Kee was joined in double figures by Keoshia Worthy who tallied 16 points and a career-high-tying nine rebounds in the victory.Vontisha Woods recorded 16 points and a game-high 13 rebounds in the contest and Rene Rector added 13 points and four assists as well.

WSSURAMS.COM

The Lady Rams jumped out to an early lead in the contest as the two teams traded advantages six times in the contest and were tied on five other occasions. First half action would see the two teams separated by no more than four points during the first 20 minutes of play as Bethune-Cookman held the slimmest of all possible margins heading into the locker room at halftime as the Lady Wildcats clung to a one-point advantage at 21-20. Second half action would see the Lady Rams fall behind by as many at 15 points with 7:27 remaining in the contest as Bethune-Cookman looked to pull away from the host Lady Rams. However, WSSU displayed the poise of a veteran team as they closed the margin to only four points before running out of time in the contest as Bethune-Cookman earned their 12th victory of the season.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Rene Rector scored a career-high-tying 24 points as the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams closed their 2008-09 season the same way that they closed last year, with a victory over the Lady Bulldogs of South Carolina State University in MEAC women’s basketball action Thursday evening. Rector tied her career high with 24 points as she equaled her 24 point offensive output that came on Jan. 18, 2008 versus Howard University as she hit eight of her 14 field goals Tuesday evening including a career-high six three-point field goals as she led the Lady Rams to their sixth victory of the season. Playing in the final game of her college career, WSSU redshirt senior guard Keoshia Worthy joined Rector in double figures with 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists as he played a career-high 40 minutes, helping to lead the Lady Rams to the win on senior night. The Lady Rams used a 43.6 percent shooting display in the first half to keep pace with the red-hot Lady Bulldogs who hit nearly half of their field goals during the game’s first 20 minutes as WSSU trailed by only one point at the break 37-36. Second half action belonged to Rector as she scored eight consecutive points for the Lady Rams on an 8-2 WSSU run only three minutes into the half as she helped WSSU turn a one-point deficit into a five-point advantage with a lay-up and a pair of three-pointers as the Lady Rams took control of the contest.

All requests, made in writing (via email or fax) on company letterhead should be directed to:

STUDENT-ATHLETE CONTACT Home and cellular telephone numbers for student-athletes will not be provided and players have been instructed not to accept calls from media members without prior notice from the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations. Please do not attempt to make contact with WSSU student-athletes or coaches without scheduling the interview through the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations.

A will-call window is located at the East entrance of the C.E. Gaines Center. Priority is given to daily newspapers, radio/TV sports directors, and other media members who cover WSSU Athletics and their opponents on a regular basis, in addition to national print and electronic media. Spouses, dates, non-workers, and anyone 16 years-of-age and younger are not permitted in any working media area. Guests are not permitted in any working media area. If you wish to bring a guest to any game, contact Chris Zona regarding the availability of reserved seat tickets. WSSU BASKETBALL PRACTICES The WSSU basketball team practices at the C.E.

MID-WEEK INTERVIEWS All interviews with Winston-Salem State University basketball student-athletes and coaches should be arranged through Trevin Q. Goodwin in the Office of Athletic Media Relations.

MEDIA GUIDE

INJURY INFORMATION Winston-Salem State University’s Department of Athletics abides by HIPAA, a federal privacy act with regard to the release of injury information. WSSU athletes are required to sign a waiver before injury information is released to the media. If the athlete chooses to withhold that information, WSSU officials will be restricted to informing media members of their playing status (playing, probable, doubtful or out). POST-GAME PROCEDURES The WSSU locker room is closed to the media. At all home games, the post-game interview format will be as follows: After a 10 minute, NCAA mandated cooling off period the visiting coach will be escorted to the media room/area. After all visiting interviews are completed, WSSU head coach Dee Stokes and all requested WSSU players will report to the media room/area. The media room is located on the lower level of the C.E. Gaines Center in office suite 108 (contact a WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations staff member for additional information). If the visiting team’s locker room is closed to the media, interviews with opposing-team players are generally held outside the locker room in the hallway (contact the opposing team’s SID for additional information). MEDIA SERVICES A media packet including, but not limited to, a game program, game notes, lineups, roster cards and statistics will be available for each media member before the game. During the game, quickie statistics will be distributed after each media time out. Complete play-by-play, scoring summaries, individual, and team statistics will be distributed following each half and at the conclusion of the game in the postgame package. A media meal is provided and is usually served 60 minutes prior to tip-off (for single games) or between games of a MEAC doubleheader. Only credentialed media will be allowed in the media room. A fax machine will be provided for media use on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is no charge for this service. Statistical monitors will be provided for live TV, both radio stations, the Winston-Salem Journal, and the Associated Press. High-speed Internet access is available in the media room and in all press areas. MEDIA/PRESS PARKING Special parking arrangements are made for the benefit of all media covering WSSU basketball. A reserved parking area will be located near the North end of the C.E. Gaines Center for members of the media (Lot N). Parking passes for this lot will be issued with the media credentials for each contest. Requests for credentials and parking passes must be made at least two days prior to all

WSSURAMS.COM

home basketball contests. Overflow media parking (by credential only) will be located in Lot O adjacent to the C.E. Gaines Center (directly next to the building formerly used as the Early Childhood Development center) with ample parking for television/satellite trucks. For additional information please consult the parking map on page 184 or contact the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations at (336) 750-2143 or (336) 750-2909. RADIO STRINGERS Individuals representing radio outlets, whether local, regional, or national, will be provided credentials on a space-available basis. Those credentials must be requested by the media outlet, not the individual. NON-ORIGINATING RADIO STATIONS Individuals representing radio stations which are not originating the broadcast of the game will be considered on a space-available basis. Consideration will be given to individuals representing radio stations from MEAC-member institutions. TELEPHONES The Winston-Salem State University Office of Athletic Media Relations has telephone lines installed in the media workroom for use by credentialed media affiliates. Telephone lines for home and visiting radio will be provided. Any secondary radio affiliate needs to make arrangements for the installation of additional phone lines by calling the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations at least 30 days in advance of any scheduled home contest. All costs associated with the installation of this telephone line(s) will be paid by the visiting media affiliate. ISDN/DEDICATED FIBER OPTIC LINE Any radio affiliate requiring ISDN or dedicated fiber optic lines for radio or television broadcasts must contact the WSSU Office of Athletic Media Relations at least 60 days in advance of any scheduled home contest in order to facilitate the installation of needed technology. All costs associated with the installation of this technology will be paid by the visiting media affiliate. PHOTOGRAPHER REGULATIONS Photo passes are available for accredited news media. Photographers may work from the baselines in accordance with NCAA rules. All photographers must have a credential to be allowed access to the court. Photographers may work from the seating areas but may not obstruct the view of any of those in attendance while the ball is in play.

MEDIA GUIDE

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