WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Ninth-ranked Winston-Salem State didn’t get to play for the CIAA championship Saturday, but it will have a chance to chase a bigger prize.
WSSU (9-1) fell two spots in the Super Region One rankings after the CIAA championship game against Virginia State was canceled Friday and dropped to a No. 4 seed for the Division II playoffs. WSSU play 18th-ranked Slippery Rock (9-2) in a first-round game Saturday at Bowman Gray Stadium.
Kickoff is expected to be at noon or 1 p.m., with the time set to be announced today. The Rams are 5-1 the last two seasons in playoff games at Bowman Gray.
“ That’s our ultimate goal anyway — the national championship,” Coach Connell Maynor said at a team viewing party Sunday night at the Bowman Gray Stadium field house.
