Eighth-ranked Washington and Lee University (13-3, 9-0) marched to a 9-0 record in the conference's unbalanced schedule format. The Generals are joined by 14th-ranked Roanoke College (14-3, 8-1) as the top-two seeds, earning them byes to the semifinal round.

Bridgewater College (8-8, 5-4) will host the other first round outing as the sixth seed. Their opponent will be seventh seeded Ferrum College (10-6, 4-5).
