Every member has different skills, perspectives, and experiences to contribute, and the team environment is one that encourages the sharing of these attributes. While it may be possible to become a complete player, it takes a roster full of contributions to become a complete team.

OWNERSHIP The final core principle that the women’s soccer team values is that of ownership. The members of the team understand that all successes and failures that they experience are

Hard work in practice, the classroom, and the community has led to wins, high grades, and an admirable reputation. When the members of the women’s soccer team combine their principles of creativity, uniqueness, and ownership, success has invariably been the byproduct.

Football The Averett football team has claimed one conference championship and produced more than 100 all-conference performers and numerous professional players despite its young existence (program began play in 2000). Men’s Golf The men’s golf program at Averett boasts the 2003 Division III NCAA national championship and has made three NCAA appearances as a team.

Averett University Athletics is committed to giving back to both the campus and surrounding Danville community. By providing opportunities for student-athletes to serve, these young men and women make meaningful contributions to society. Teams as well as individual student-athletes are involved in numerous charity and community organizations and events. Some student-athletes have also created, initiated and implemented service projects and activities in the community. The Averett women’s soccer team prides itself on giving back to the local community. Members of the soccer team volunteer their time during the offseason to coach local youth soccer teams. Working together in small groups, the girls give the opportunity to play soccer to dozens of young athletes all around the county. Holding practice sessions during the week and spending Saturday mornings at Dan Daniel Park, the Averett women’s soccer players are an invaluable asset to the local community. The women’s soccer team also teamed up with the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee to host an event in cooperation with the Special Olympics. The one-day event saw dozens of young Olympians interacting and competing with the members of the women’s soccer team, and everybody left the event with ear-to-ear smiles. The women’s soccer team and, as a whole, Averett University, team up with the rest of the schools in the USA South Conference for an annual food drive during the fall. Averett collected canned goods and non-perishable items and delivered them to God’s Storehouse in Danville just before Thanksgiving. Averett University donates nearly 2,000 canned goods as a part of the USA South’s Cans Across the Conference each year. Across the conference, 29,233 cans and other items were collected by the league’s schools in 2012, which was the ninth year of the can drive. The event was created by the members of the USA South Athletic Conference StudentAthlete Advisory Committee in order to help those in need around the holiday season.

Carly Pearce HEAD COACH Since taking over the women’s soccer program in 2008, coach Carly Pearce has molded the Averett program into a conference champion. In just her fifth season, Pearce guided Averett to the 2012 USA South Conference regular season and tournament titles and a NCAA Tournament appearance — all firsts for the program. In her first four seasons as Averett’s head coach, Pearce helped establish consistency throughout the women’s soccer program. After building the program up in her first two seasons, Pearce’s Cougars broke through in 2010 with a then-programbest 13-7 record. The season culminated with the program’s first-ever appearance in the USA South Conference championship game. That trend continued in 2011 as Averett set a new record for overall wins with a 14-3-1 mark and another USA South semifinals appearance. In 2012, after the Cougars lost three of their first four games, Averett won a teamrecord 16 games in a row, including an 11-0 mark in the USA South, to claim the

program’s first conference regular season crown. Averett then advanced to the conference championship, where the Cougars beat Christopher Newport University 3-2 in overtime to win their first tournament title and earned the USA South’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Pearce earned USA South Coach of the Year honors in process as the team finished 17-4 overall. Averett has produced 34 all-conference selections during Pearce’s tenure, including a program-best 10 all-conference performers in 2011. In five seasons under the tutelage of Pearce, 11 Cougars have earned USA South All-Conference First Team honors. In 2011, Pearce also produced the program’s first USA South Conference Player of the Year. Pearce’s student-athletes also succeed in the classroom. She has produced multiple USA South Academic All-Conference performers and three Capital One Academic All-District selections.

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 Conference now sponsors championships in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer,

Rita Wiggs Commissioner

women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, golf and women’s lacrosse for a total of 14 sports. Presently, the Conference features 13 institutions, four in Virginia, five in North Carolina, three in Georgia and one in Tennessee. Averett University, Christopher Newport University, Ferrum College, Greensboro 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. Maryville became a competing member of the Conference in the fall of 2005 as a football only member and joins the conference as a full-time member in 2012-13, along with LaGrange and Piedmont. Agnes Scott College compete in women’s lacrosse only. The USA South announced in May 2012 that Covenant College and Huntingdon College will join the conference in 2013-14. Christopher Newport is leaving the USA South following 2012-13 in all sports except football.
