Seeding

All ten teams from the regular season qualified for the 2022 Tournament. Seeding was based on regular season records of each team. A tiebreaker was required to determine the first and second seeds after Chattanooga and Samford both finished the season with 5–1–3 records. The two teams tied their regular season match. The second tiebreaker was record against the highest remaining seed, Mercer. Chattanooga defeated Mercer during the regular season and was therefore the first seed. A second tiebreaker was required to determine the eighth and ninth seeds as Wofford and Furman both finished the regular season with 3–4–2 records. The two teams also tied their regular season matchup, so a second tiebreaker of record against the highest remaining seed was used again. Wofford was awarded the eighth seed based on their regular season victory over Chattanooga. [4]
