Sasnouskaya enters the tournament with a 21-5 record, having been ranked in the top 40 nationally all season and was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. Smith played line two for the Wolfpack this season, who were national runner-ups in the team tournament, and is 26-8 in singles this year.
