Morkel is the reigning Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while Dougah led the Bulldogs in singles victories in 2021 with a 10-3 record, while sharing the doubles record at 7-3 with Dickson.

Asheville, who was selected tied for fourth in the Big South Preseason Poll, finished last year's slate at  5-8 with a 2-4 conference record.
