USA South Athletic Conference (USAC)-(NCAA Division III)
Overview: The Huntingdon College Hawks overcame an 0-2 start to go undefeated in the USA South Athletic Conference (USAC) at 8-0, and win the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Hawks' season ended in the first round at 8-3 overall after losing to fellow Alabama rival Birmingham-Southern. In fact, two of Huntingdon's three losses last fall came to the Panthers, with the third loss coming to Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
The upcoming 2022 season will bring about many changes for the USAC, as the Belhaven University Blazers from Jackson, Mississippi will join the league as an associate member after spending the past seven seasons in the American Southwest Conference (ASC). The Blazers will join what's likely to be a competitive conference in the USA South, as they're coming off of a 2021 season where they finished 7-3 overall and 6-3 in the ASC. The addition of Belhaven brings the total number of teams in the USAC to nine, as longtime member Averett University of Danville, Virginia has joined the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC).
Finally, another team that could provide a tremendous challenge to Huntingdon for the USAC crown is Methodist University. After splitting their first four contests, the Monarchs finished the traditional fall season strong, winning five straight games to finish their 2021 campaign at 7-2 overall, and 7-1 in conference play. The Monarchs and their fans hope the ending to 2021 will carry over into 2022. Don't count out another North Carolina squad in Brevard (6-4, 6-2) either.
