Posted By: Will Moss on April 04, 2026 The historic 2025-26 season for the Winston-Salem State University Lady Rams basketball team continues to receive well-deserved recognition, as the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners officially designated April 2, 2026, as WSSU Lady Rams Basketball Team Day. District A County Commissioner and WSSU alumna Tonya McDaniel officiated the ceremony, celebrating the team's remarkable achievements both on and off the court. The proclamation acknowledged how the Lady Rams' success brought world recognition to Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, elevating the visibility of the university and community on regional and national stages.

"And whereas the Lady Rams' historic season brought world recognition to Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, elevating the visibility of the university and the community on a regional and national stage... A New Era Under Coach Tierra TerryThe remarkable turnaround came under first-year head coach Tierra Terry, a WSSU alumna who took the reins after the retirement of L'Tona Lamonte following eight seasons.

Her impact was immediate and transformative. The Lady Rams' season achievements included:
Coach Terry's exceptional work earned her CIAA Coach of the Year honors, a fitting recognition for leading one of the most dramatic single-season turnarounds in HBCU women's basketball history. The official county recognition reflects the pride and joy this championship team has brought to the entire WSSU community and beyond. Originally reported by HBCU Sports.
