Mayberry's take
Catawba has banked the most conference points in this snapshot. Anderson has played only one SAC match, so the points gap is partly a difference in opportunity. Carson-Newman has four points, although the conference website lists it below two teams with three. Read the points column directly; the source order is not a points ranking.

Selected recent results
Catawba followed a 5-0 win at Newberry with a 3-0 nonconference win at Barton and a 2-0 home win over Mars Hill. Those three clean sheets provide a useful recent baseline. They do not by themselves establish how the defense will fare against the rest of the league.
| Date | Match | Score (listed order) |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 5 | Catawba at Newberry | 5-0 |
| Sep 9 | Catawba at Barton | 3-0 |
| Sep 12 | Mars Hill at Catawba | 0-2 |
