Eisenman and Kong, meanwhile, will try to make it a double championship this year after winning the ITA Cup Doubles title in the fall, where Kong finished as the runner-up in singles.
Sriniketh earned a qualification to nationals in her debut season, after playing most of the year at No. 2 singles. She picked up key wins at the ITA Indoor Championships in February, earning a three-set win in a comeback 4-3 win over Emory, and then earning the clinched in a 4-3 win over defending national champion WashU.
The Athenas will open postseason play on Friday at home, when they take on the winner of Thursday's opening-round match between Mary Hardin-Baylor and Whitman at 12 noon.
