The Bulldogs won four games in Lee's first season on staff. The Bulldogs picked up their first win at Asheville on Dec. 4 as the Bulldogs thumped Warren Wilson 98-23, before Asheville beat Brevard 79-45 on Dec. 30 for their second win. Asheville picked up its first Big South Conference win under Lewis on Feb. 26 at Presbyterian by a score of 67-60, before upending the Blue Hose again in the Big South Conference Tournament 69-63. Lee coached Dakota McCaughan who earned Big South Conference Player of the Week honors on Dec. 2 on a career-best 29 points on a career-best 9-16 from beyond the arc at Tennessee State. McCaughan was named to the Big South Conference All-Academic Team, while she and Skylar Bailey were both named College Sports Communicators Academic All-District selections. The team also earned academic special mention from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
