Bishop and Hayes helped lead CACC to the 2018 and 2019 Alabama Community College Conference team championships and national rankings of No. 10 in 2018 and No. 21 in 2019.

Bishop, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, finished the 2019 season as the runner-up in No. 1 singles in the ACCC, while she and Hayes teamed up to be conference No. 1 doubles champions. They also made the consolation finals at No. 1 doubles at the NJCAA National Championships.

Bishop and Hayes were ranked as high as 23^rd nationally in doubles and were runners up at the ITA fall regional tournament. She was ranked as high as 42^nd nationally in singles.

Hayes, from Jasper, Alabama, helped lead Walker County (Ala.) High School to a state title as a sophomore and a second-place finish as both a junior and senior. She was also the first player from CACC to make the main draw quarter finals in her singles flight, accomplishing that at the 2018 NJCAA National Championship.
