WINSTON-SALEM, NC - The visiting High Point University Panthers handed the Lady Rams of Winston-Salem State University a 3-0 loss (30-13, 30-25, 30-16) in non-conference women's volleyball action from the C.E. Gaines Center in Winston-Salem, NC on Tuesday evening.

The Lady Rams dropped the first game of the match 30-13 before responding with a narrow five-point loss in the second game of the contest (30-25) as they looked to mount a charge against the talented, and experience-laden Panthers.

WSSU, a young, talented, team comprised primarily of freshmen and sophomores, battled valiantly but could not match the experience of the Panthers who recorded the match victory following a 30-16 win in the third, and final, game of the match.

Valentina Pushkina and Kendall Sutton led the Lady Rams with six kills each in the contest with Pushkina tallying a team-high 12 assists in the loss.  Ashley Mellot led the Panthers with a match-high nine kills.

The loss drops WSSU to 2-18 overall while High Point improves to 2-12 with the win.  WSSU returns to action on Friday, September 29, 2006 in Norfolk, VA as they face the Lady Spartans of Norfolk State University.
