(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) –
The 2013-14 season serves as the 50th for the USA South
Athletic Conference. In an effort to relive 50 Years of great
student-athlete performances, each current League institution was
given the opportunity to submit names of student-athletes who have
competed within the Conference, completed their athletic
eligibility and excelled not only on their campuses but in the
Conference as a whole.
The maximum amount of athletes an institution could submit for
each sport was twice the typical starting lineup of
that particular sport. Due to the short length of their
presence in the USA South or sport-sponsorship, some current USA
South institutions are not included in some of the sports.
The sport of baseball begin in the Conference in 1969 as a
regular season championship was awarded. In 1994, the first
Conference Baseball Tournament was conducted. The Conference has
consistently been one of the nation's best Division III baseball
leagues. The League has sent numerous teams to the NCAA Division
III World Series and produced two national champions. N.C. Wesleyan
is the lone Conference team to win a baseball national crown,
capturing the 1989 and 1999 National Championships.
