WSSU Rams need one more win for 2nd straight undefeated regular season













FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina  --  Coach Kenny Phillips of Fayetteville State has found one weakness in Winston-Salem State.

“I don’t think their buses are that strong,” Phillips joked about the transportation that No. 2-ranked WSSU used to travel to Fayetteville for today’s 1:30 game at Luther Nick Jeralds Stadium.

Phillips, the dean of CIAA coaches and a three-time CIAA championship coach, turned more serious when trying to sum up just how good the Rams (9-0) have been.

“I sit there and watch film, and Coach (Connell) Maynor has quite an arsenal, and he’s got an experienced team to boot,” Phillips said.

The Rams have won 14 straight against CIAA opponents and are 15-1 on the road in Maynor’s three seasons. They’ll try for a second straight undefeated regular season today, then they will play for their second straight CIAA title next weekend.
