In her final season at Emory, Shulman became a leader amongst singles competitors taking 16 wins to finish second on the team. She earned a spot in the NCAA Individual Championships this season but had to withdraw in the Round of 32 due to injury. This season, she also held a 4-2 record in doubles but turned her focus to the No. 1 spot in singles. In her three playing seasons with the Eagles, Shulman holds a 38-23 all-time record in singles competition.

Ye helped lead the Eagles to the NCAA semifinals after finishing the regular season with a 14-7 record. Under his leadership, the doubles tandem of Ana Cristina Perez and Emily Kantrovitz advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Individual Championships.
