Baseball

Ahead of the 2022 season, Michael Holder took the reins of the Pacer baseball program.[6] Holder succeeded longtime coach Kenny Thomas, who led the Pacers to nine NCAA Southeast Regional appearances across 22 seasons as head coach.[7]

Longtime Coastal Carolina head coach Gary Gilmore served as an assistant from 1986–1989 and subsequently as head coach at USCA from 1990–1995.

It was at the end of Gilmore's first season on staff in 1986 that pitcher Roberto Hernández was drafted in the first round of the MLB draft.[8] Hernández later made substantial donations to his alma mater, which led to a new baseball stadium being constructed and named in his honor on the university's campus.

Men's basketball

The men's basketball program has been led by Mark Vanderslice since the 2015–16 season.[9]

Women's basketball

The women's basketball program has been led by Mark Miller since the 2016–17 season.[10]

Cross country

The Pacers' cross country program is led by coach Marshall Leonard.[11]

Golf

The Pacers' golf program has been led by coach Michael Carlisle since the 1991–92 season. During his tenure, the program has experienced unprecedented success, including a run of three consecutive national championships (2004, 2005, and 2006).[12]

Men's soccer

The men's soccer program is led by first-year head coach Nick Sakiewicz.[13] He takes over for longtime coach Ike Ofoje, who was also the Pacers' inaugural women's soccer head coach.[14]

Women's soccer

The women's soccer program is led by first-year head coach Adam Kleman.[15] Kleman succeeds Tina Murphy, who in her two year tenure before departing for Gardner-Webb led the Pacers to their first Peach Belt tournament appearance since the 2017–18 season.[16]

Softball

The Pacers' softball program is led by fourth-year head coach Jaclin Poole. Under Poole's leadership, the Pacers made the 2022 Peach Belt Conference tournament, the program's first since 2016.[17]

Volleyball
