Ram Ramblings: WSSU volleyball team also chasing CIAA title

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- While most of the attention will be on Winston-Salem State football this weekend there will be another team chasing a CIAA title.

The WSSU volleyball team will be at the Gaines Center on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. playing Virginia State in the semifinals of the CIAA volleyball tournament. The Rams are 17-11 and are chasing their first-ever volleyball conference championship.

First-year Coach Andi Henderson has turned around a program that last season finished fourth in the Southern Division. This season the Rams finished first in the division.

When I reminded Henderson that most folks are eating, breathing and sleeping football she was quick with a retort.

“Well, we eat, breath and sleep volleyball,” she said. “We know it’s a big weekend for us so we are looking forward to it.”
