WSSU gets road victory over Virginia Union

RICHMOND, Virginia — Winston-Salem State got plenty of balance on its way to a nonconference win over Virginia Union on Friday night at Barco-Stevens Hall.

The Rams came away with an 82-71 victory to improve to 4-2 on the season. Even though the Panthers (2-3) and Rams are in the CIAA, it was a designated nonconference game and doesn’t count in the conference standings.

Damone Harrison led the way for the Rams with 21 points, and Carlos Rankins and Rayvon Harris each added 12 points. C.J. Ford scored 10 points as all nine WSSU players had at least one basket.

Coach James Wilhelmi of the Rams said by telephone after the game that he loved the balanced scoring.

“I know I’ve said it before, but that’s Ram basketball,” Wilhelmi said. “We try to find those mismatches to take advantage of what we can, and I like how the guys are spreading the ball around.”
