GREENSBORO, NC - The Winston-Salem State University women's bowling team posted a 1-4 overall record on the first day of competition from the North Carolina A&T Lady Aggie Bowling Invitational in Greensboro, NC as they defeated the Lady Spartans of Norfolk State University for their lone win of the afternoon.

WSSU started the competition promisingly as they defeated Norfolk State University three games to one in the best-of-five-game format match.  The Lady Rams dropped the first game of the match by the score of 129-118 before reeling off three consecutive wins (146-113, 172-134, 159-141) to earn their lone match victory of day one competition.
