WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCWSports.com will look at the members of the UNCW Department of Athletics staff with a weekly feature called "Seahawk Staff Spotlight." Each Tuesday, the website will profile a different member of the staff.

We open the month of April by taking an inside look at Josh Stott, a 2015 UNCW graduate who serves as the Director of Operations for the Seahawks' baseball team. Stott has been with the Seahawks for seven seasons, including four as the Director of Operations.

My first CAA championship and NCAA regional at LSU in 2015
