Winston Salem, NC - Losing just one starter in center Vontisha Woods has coach Steve Joyner Jr. very encouraged about this women’s basketball season at WSSU. But then again Joyner, who learned from his father, is always optimistic.
The Rams were 16-11 last season in Joyner’s first at WSSU. With four transfers and six freshmen added to his roster Joyner is hoping that the chemistry comes early. The Rams also lost key reserve Rene Rector from last season.
“We have a tough schedule playing some Division I teams early,” Joyner said. “If we can get through that stretch and get into the CIAA would should be OK.” The Rams will begin practice Oct. 15 and will play at Davidson on Nov. 5 in an exhibition game.
The core of the Rams, guard Courtney Medley, Taneisha White, Jasmine Newkirk and Jordhan Peterson, along with Taylar Wells gives Joyner plenty of experience. If Medley is more consistent I think she has a chance to be player of the year in the conference.
