(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 USA South began sponsoring a regular season championship in the sport of men's soccer in 1966. In 2000, the Conference's annual men's soccer tournament was first conducted. The Conference has produced five national champions and three national runners-up. Former member UNC-Greensboro captured the NCAA Division III National Championship in 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1987. Current members Greensboro College and Methodist University were each a win away from a national title as The Pride were National Runners-Up in 1989 and 1998 while the Monarchs earned that title in 1995. Individually, several players who have spent time in the Conference have furthered their athletic careers at the professional level.
