CIAA Standout Guard Fuels WSSU's Dominant Tournament Run
Makayla Waleed, the Food Lion Player of the Game in Winston-Salem State's 71-49 CIAA Tournament rout of Bluefield State on Feb. 25, 2026, delivered a commanding performance to lead the 24-3 Rams, showcasing her ability to dominate in high-stakes moments with physicality and leadership.[1] This Maryland high school steal machine (2.6 SPG, top 70 statewide) brings elite defensive intensity, pesky playmaking (2.0 APG, 3.0 REB in 2025-26), and clutch reliability that elevates any backcourt—perfect for teams needing a gritty, versatile guard who thrives under pressure without injury red flags.[2][4]
