CHARLOTTE, NC – Make it four straight wins for the Winston-Salem State Rams (6-6, 5-3 CIAA) after the team took a dominating 5-0 win over the Virginia Union Lady Panthers, Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Rams claim their fourth straight victory and completed a sweep for the Rams at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Round Up.

The remaining matches were unfinished.
