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

WSSU started the competition promisingly as they defeated Florida A&M University in the head-to-head single-game format match.  The Lady Rams earned their lone match victory of day-two competition as they rolled a 739, three pins ahead of the Rattlers who came up with a 736.  The three-pin victory was not decided until the final roll as FAMU had a chance to steal the victory from the Rams but fell short, propelling WSSU to a victory.

Following the win over Florida A&M University, the Lady Rams would drop four consecutive matches as they fell to Fayetteville State University (847-823), to Saint Paul's College (735-669), to South Carolina State University (795-671), and to a vacant scoring aggregate total of 835 (835-682) to fall to 1-4 on the afternoon.

The losses drop WSSU to 8-42 overall on the season.  The Lady Rams return to action tomorrow as they begin the Baker Match portion of the North Carolina A&T Lady Aggie invitational.
