WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- No. 14 Winston-Salem State was back at work this week, preparing for the Division II national tournament.The Rams (21-6) will find out who they’ll play late Sunday night when the field of 64 is announced, and they most likely will play at West Liberty (W.Va.) in the South Atlantic Regional, which will start March 16.
“We’ve spent this week trying to get their morale back up and just working on a lot of things we need to sharpen up,” said Coach Bobby Collins, who gave his players three days off after last week’s loss to Bowie State in the CIAA Tournament semifinals.
“We are back full bore at practice now, and it’s just a matter of knowing that we want to make a run, and it’s not a CIAA run this time, but a run at the national title.”
WSSU has lost its regional opener each of the past two seasons, but with seven seniors and good depth, Collins is hoping for better results. Those two regionals also started the week after the CIAA Tournament, rather than two weeks after, and Collins now has extra time to prepare.
