(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 women's basketball's first
Conference-sponsored regular season and tournament
championships took place during the 1981-82 season. During
that season, UNC-Greensboro became the first and
currently only Conference team to reach the championship game
of the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Tournament. More
recently, Christopher Newport University marched to the National
Semifinals led by National Player of the Year Chelsie
Schweers.
