Winston Salem, North Carolina -- CIAA teams have had limited success in the Division II football playoffs, but Winston-Salem State hopes to be the exception. WSSU (11-0) will try to take its first step in that direction Saturday, when it plays California (Pa.) in a second-round game at 1 p.m. at Bowman Gray Stadium.
The CIAA started the postseason with a playoff record of 2-27 since 1978, then fell to 2-28 last weekend when California pounded Elizabeth City State 44-0. Coach Connell Maynor said the CIAA's playoff history doesn't bother him.
"I think our guys are ready, and this is what we set out to do," he said. "We got our first goal out of the way, and that was to win the CIAA championship. The guys really believe that we can win four more football games."
