Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (0-1) stumbled out of the gate to start the 2008 season when the team took a 3-0 loss to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (1-0) on the opening day of the Hawthorn Suites Hokie Invitational. The Lady Rams totaled just 20 points in the three sets of the match and fell to the Chanticleers, 25-4, 25-9, and 25-7.
The Lady Rams will face a much tougher challenge tomorrow when the team takes on the host Virginia Tech Hokies in a noon match-up before wrapping up the tournament by facing last season’s MEAC runners-up, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Lady Hawks. The two teams met earlier today with Virginia Tech taking a 3-1 win over the Lady Hawks
