Ed Fulton Seasons at Averett: 19 Hometown: Danville, Va. Education: Florida State University Averett University (1997) Coaching Timeline:
ED FULTON HEAD COACH Ed Fulton has been Averett’s baseball coach since 1996, when he took over a program that had completed only one varsity season. In 17 seasons at Averett, Fulton’s teams have won more than 350 games and a USA South Conference championship. Fulton has guided his team to 10 20plus win seasons. In 2013, he led his team to a 24-16 record after going 26-18, 22-19 and 25-17 the previous three seasons. His 2014 squad finished 16-23. Over the past 12 seasons the Cougars have posted a 316-284-1 record under Fulton’s direction, including a 2003 USA South Conference Tournament championship and a 2007 team that went 31-12. The 2003 championship team he built is a far cry from the 10-24 season he endured his first year on the job in 1997. In 2003, Averett finished tied for third in the league with a 6-6 record. However,
Fulton guided his fourth seeded Cougars to five wins in six games en route to his first USA South Conference Tournament Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Regional in Hickory, N.C. The Cougars posted a 27-14 overall record that season against one of the toughest schedules in the country. The late season run also lifted Averett to their first top-10 national ranking (seventh) in the program’s history. Fulton’s squad was also considered the top team in the region following the tournament championship. Well versed in all aspects of the game, Fulton’s specialties are no doubt in the areas of hitting and catching. Averett held a team batting average of .322 and averaged 7.5 runs per game in 2003. If you also consider that 6.5 of those runs per game were earned runs, then Fulton’s credibility as a hitting coach becomes very apparent.

1996 Averett University Assistant Coach 1997-Present Averett University Head Coach
Behind the plate, Fulton is arguably one of the best teachers in the nation. He helped develop Greg Stevens into one of the best catchers in the south region and into a current professional ballplayer. In addition to Stevens, Fulton has also coached pitcher Gene Yost, a 20th round selection by the Nationals in 2004, and outfielder Eddie Guessford, as well as countless others, to successful professional careers. Due to his professional background, Fulton has made many contacts with professional players, scouts, coaches and managers. Before bringing the Cougars to national prominence, Fulton spent nine years in the minor leagues, six of those seasons at the AAA level. The St. Louis Cardinals picked him in the 16th round during the 1987 draft. Fulton’s professional career included stints with the Cardinals, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox.

USA SOUTH CONFERENCE
2 COLOR, WHITE BG
1 COLOR, WHITE BG
One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South Conference was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. Those colleges were Charlotte College (now UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College (now Methodist University), North Carolina Wesleyan College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College and Lynchburg College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded financial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still exists today. In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Conference. The name change was made official on July 1, 2003, and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003. The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that affiliation until 1973. At that time, the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with Division III allowing membership for nonathletic scholarship institutions only. The Dixie joined the NCAA, and in so doing, became one of the first conferences accepted into Division III. Since the inception of Division III, the USA South has been a leader in many areas, and has gained an outstanding regional and national reputation in a number of sports. The Conference sponsored athletic programs for men only until 1981. In that year, the NCAA expanded its sponsorship to include women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including women’s sports. The Confer-

Presently, the Conference features 15 institutions, four in Virginia, five in North Carolina, four in Georgia, one in Tennessee and one in Alabama. Averett University, Covenant College, Ferrum College, Greensboro College, Huntingdon College, LaGrange College, Mary Baldwin College, Maryville College, Meredith College, Piedmont College and William Peace University have joined Methodist and N.C. Wesleyan and make up today’s conference full-time membership. Christopher Newport University competes in football only, while Agnes Scott College competes in women’s lacrosse only.

DEAR COUGAR FANS,
One Team! At Averett, that’s not just a slogan but a philosophy that has energized our entire campus community. I want to personally invite you to become a part of this new energy and a part of our team by joining the Cougar Club. Having a successful team takes hard work and passion, but it also takes support from people like you who understand the value of the entire student-athlete experience. How will your contributions help our student athletes? Here are examples of some recent initiatives: l Creation of a comprehensive life skills program l Improved travel acommodations l Increased marketing and branding l Enhanced strength and conditioning program l Addition of end of season team banquets From the new turf field with lights, to the indoor batting facility, to our exciting new contract with Nike, we can all agree that this year can be a game-changer for Averett athletics. I hope you will join the Cougar Club and be a part of our success. Never underestimate the importance of your influence and your support. If you have questions, please call me at 434-791-5700. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you in the stands! Meg Stevens Averett Director of Athletics
