WSSU, Valdosta State prepare for showdown

POWDER SPRINGS, Georgia — Finding competitive nonconference games isn’t always easy for NCAA Division II powers, but Winston-Salem State and Valdosta State have found some common ground.
The 12th-ranked Rams (1-0) will take on the 23rd-ranked Blazers (1-0) at 4 p.m. today (WTOB 1380). WSSU is coming off an easy win against UNC Pembroke, and Valdosta State had an easy time with Albany State in openers last week. Nothing is expected to be easy today.
Both programs have been dominant in recent years, so the early-season test should help down the road.
“It does not get any easier,” Coach Kienus Boulware of WSSU said. “They had a lopsided win as well on Saturday. It was a turnover fest against Albany State, and that’s how that score got out of hand.”
