PETERSBURG, VA – The Winston-Salem State Lady Rams (7-12) ended their 2014 season on a down note when the team took a hard-fought 5-0 loss to the host Virginia State Lady Trojans (14-3), Thursday afternoon in the quarterfinal round of the 2014 Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Women's Tennis Championship Tournament. The loss came in spite of a great effort by the Lady Rams as the team left it all on the court as the team pushed the match to nearly three hours. 

The Lady Rams opened play with three hard-fought losses in doubles play as the team fell 8-3 at #1 doubles, 8-5 at #3 doubles, and 8-6 at #2 doubles. Though things looked grim as the team headed into singles play, the Lady Rams continued to show some great heart in singles play.
