Asheville enters the season 3-2 overall, coming off a 5-2 victory at Limestone on Saturday.

UNC Wilmington is just 1-2 on the young season, but has faced stiff competition in North Carolina and Coastal Carolina. The Seahawks, who were victorious 7-0 over N.C. Central on January 30, have used a variety of lineups, with Celeste Matute going 1-2 at the No. 1 singles flight while Maddy Muller-Hughes and Anna Parker-Shumate have teamed up to go 2-1 at the No. 1 doubles position.
Belmont, meanwhile, is 1-3 thus far in 2021, defeating Bellarmine 5-2 on February 4, but most recently falling to ETSU 6-1 (February 6). Like UNC Wilmington, Belmont has used various lineups so far, as Somer Henry has gone 1-2 at the No. 1 flight and Peyton Lee 1-0 in that spot.
