Centenary was represented by former Ladies' star Anna Dunn. Dunn earned All-SCAC recognition at three different positions during her career, including First Team accolades as an outfielder in 2018 when she was crowned the league's batting champion. As a shortstop, Dunn was named SCAC Newcomer-of-the-Year in 2015 and then earned Honorable Mention accolades as a junior playing third base. A prolific power hitter, Dunn set the SCAC record for home runs in a season with 15 as a senior and finished her career fourth all-time with 27. She drove in 126 career runs (tied for ninth all-time) and hit 44 career doubles, which is tied for sixth in SCAC history. An Honorable Mention All-American in 2017 and two-time SCAC All-Tournament team honoree, Dunn closed her career at Centenary with 169 hits, good enough for 25th in league history.
Among current members, Texas Lutheran, which has won seven-straight SCAC titles, posted a remarkable 152-3 (.981) conference record and won the 2019 Division III NCAA Championship since joining the league prior to the 2013-14 academic year, led the way with 11 student-athletes selected to the exclusive team.

The SCAC was formed in 1991 after a reorganization of its predecessor, the College Athletic Conference (CAC). The CAC dates to 1962 with four charter members: Centre College, Southwestern @ Memphis (now Rhodes College), Sewanee-The University of the South, and Washington & Lee (Va.) University. Washington (Mo.) University joined the CAC later that same year.
The SCAC was formed to provide an association through which the member institutions may encourage organized competition in intercollegiate sports among teams representative of their respective student bodies. Members of this conference share a commitment to priority of the overall quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences.
