Houston returns eight student-athletes from the 2020 season that was cut short as a result of COVID-19. Among those returning are seniors Phonexay Chitdara and Mimi Kendall-Woseley, along with junior Stephanie Belovukovic. The trio combined to go 29-11 in 2020 with Chitdara and Kendall-Woseley posting a team-best 10 wins each.

After completing the 2020 campaign on a three-match winning streak to finish the season with a 6-3 record, the doubles team of redshirt junior Elena Tairyan and junior Jovana Vukovic also returns for 2021.
