WSSU RAMS FOOTBALL FALLS JUST SHORT IN SEMI FINALS Congratulations to Connell Maynor, the assistant coaches and our wonderful football team for their magical season and unprecedented run throughout the NCAA DII Playoff into the Semi Final Round. By finishing 13-1, you have nothing to hang your heads about! You represented us well, and showed the nation that the Winston-Salem State University Rams and the CIAA are not to be taken lightly. We will be back to take that next step -- to finish our goal of going 15-0!! 2011 CIAA Champions, 2011 HBCU National Champions and becoming the first HBCU to ever win 13 games is not to be discounted or left unnoticed just because we didn’t finish 15-0. This team made history. This team deserves to be celebrated. This team made us PROUD!! RAM PRIDE, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!!!
