Pfeiffer was placed atop the rankings thanks to receiving 64 total points and eight of the possible nine first place votes. The three-time defending USA South Tournament champions finished last fall with another 8-0 Conference record to earn the program's fourth regular season title. Pfeiffer has now won 19 consecutive regular season USA South contests.”
