E&H returns five players from last year's squad and welcomes three newcomers. The Wasps will look to return to their success of two years ago when they posted their first winning campaign in six seasons. Emory & Henry held a 3-3 record when the season was cut short last March.

Washington and Lee University received 11 of 12 first-place votes and is picked to win the league for the 39th time. Guilford College earned the final top nod and is second, with Virginia Wesleyan University trailing by one point in third place. Hampden-Sydney College is fourth while Randolph-Macon College rounds out the top five.

Emory & Henry has a 10-match schedule set, nine of which are conference matches. The Wasps will open the season against Johnson University on Tuesday, March 9. The first league contest for E&H will be at Hampden-Sydney College on Sunday, March 14.
