For the season, Hudgins went 10-3 in dual matches at third singles and 11-5 overall. Adding tournament play, he won 12 of his first 14 matches en route to a 12-6 mark. Hudgins was also a strong contributor in doubles, siding with three different teammates to post a 12-9 record. Five of those decisions came in tournament action. In the second position, he recorded a 9-4 mark.

Halfway through his career, Hudgins has boasted a 22-10 singles record and a 16-12 doubles mark. He helped lead the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast region's 18th-ranked team to a 9-7 record. Finishing the league slate at 2-3, the Lyons advanced to their ninth NEWMAC Tournament semifinal in the conference's 10-year history before being knocked out by 10-time defending champion Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
