WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- With a boost of confidence, Winston-Salem State will head into its most important part of its schedule.The Rams (9-5, 2-3 CIAA) will open Southern Division play at home today at 4 p.m. against St. Augustine’s (7-8, 1-4). Winning the Southern Division is a goal the Rams had at the start of the season — and with 10 of their final 11 games against division rivals, it’s a key stretch of games.
“It’s a different level playing against the Southern Division because we play each team twice and we all know each other so well,” said senior WyKevin Bazemore of the Rams. “We have to be ready for St. Aug’s.”
Coach James Wilhelmi tweaked his substitution patterns in Monday’s win over Elizabeth City State, sending in waves of four and five players at a time. It allowed his starters to rest more than usual. What really made the strategy pay off, however, was the productivity of the second team.
