Catawba College sits in second with the other three first-place nods while Carson-Newman University is in third place. Tusculum University is the fourth-place selection and Lincoln Memorial University is fifth.
Lenoir-Rhyne University has been chosen sixth, with Limestone University, Anderson (S.C.) University and Coker University residing in the seventh, eighth and ninth place spots respectively. Newberry College slots in the 10th place position with UVA Wise close behind in 11th. Mars Hill University and Emory & Henry round out the poll in 12th and 13th.
Additionally, the SAC has announced its Players to Watch with junior Keenan Glago (Harrisonburg, Va.) and sophomore Niclas Naedele (Munich, GERMANY) earning the nod for Emory & Henry.
The Wasps get their 2025 spring schedule underway on Tuesday, February 4 at home at the newly-renovated Richardson Tennis Courts against the Trailblazers of North Greenville University.
