The women's team finished as the 2020-21 PAC Tournament runner-up in Foster's first season at the helm. Six Presidents earned All-PAC honors led by junior Maya Krishnasamy, who received First Team recognition at No. 1 singles. On the men's side, seniors Nate Wang and Sam Bellini received All-PAC First Team status in singles and All-PAC Second Team honors in doubles.
