Seeding

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Three teams tied for fifth place with 5–5 records and fifteen points at the end of the regular season. Therefore, only two teams of Charleston Southern, Gardner–Webb, and UNC Asheville could qualify for the tournament. The tiebreaker was decided based on regular season records between the schools. Charleston Southern won the tiebreaker by virtue of defeating Gardner–Webb and UNC Asheville during the regular season and was therefore the fifth seed. Gardner–Webb defeated UNC Asheville during the regular season and lost to Charleston Southern and therefore was the sixth seed. UNC Asheville lost to both Charleston Southern and Gardner–Webb during the regular season and therefore did not qualify for the tournament. [4]
