Amanda Fulton is the Catamounts’ workhorse ace with All-SoCon polish
Amanda Fulton entered 2026 as Western Carolina’s staff anchor and backed it up with first-team All-SoCon honors, a 2.60 ERA, 164 strikeouts, and 16 wins in 180.1 innings, while also handling heavy usage as the ace of the rotation[1][5][10]. Her best calling card is competitiveness: she’s shown swing-and-miss stuff, the ability to finish games, and enough durability to take on big innings against top Southern Conference competition[3][5][11]. Add in a 3.86 GPA and an integrated health sciences background, and you’re looking at a high-floor pitcher who brings seriousness, maturity, and a relentless edge—exactly the kind of tone-setter coaches trust[5][9].
