Hey All, So for the most part, the comments have been really good. There’s a little bit of animosity in some of the veiled trash talk, but there’s nothing wrong with a little competitive fire as long as there aren’t any personal insults (which there haven’t been any that I’ve seen). Some people, however, have…
Sunday is chock full of great D3 matchups. UC Santa Cruz vs. Cal Lu has been a long time coming, and Redlands vs. Pomona-Pitzer is probably most important for the makeup of NCAAs, but the most interesting match of the day for me is undoubtedly Williams vs. Amherst. #16 Johns Hopkins vs. #23 Mary Washington…
There are several significant matches this weekend, highlighted by potential previews of the NESCAC and SCIAC championship matches. I’ve decided to divide the weekend into just two posts to give those two matches their due attention. Friday #28 MIT vs. #7 Middlebury MIT is still somewhat of an unknown quantity. They lost to Williams and…
There weren’t enough significant matches last week to justify a POW for each region, so I decided to lump the last two weeks together into one mega-week. Atlantic South Tyler Carey (Mary Washington) Carey was the only Eagle to go 4-0 in in Mary Washington’s ship-righting victories over Christopher Newport and Swarthmore. Against the Captains,…
There have been a couple requests for a quick report on where Pool C stands at the moment. For those of you who read ESPN.com’s bracketology articles, you’re recognize the format. A lot has been made of “the last spot,” but even though the season is almost over, there’s still a lot of room for…
Obviously a lot of NCAA talk going on in the comments, just wanted to add my take on things. This isn’t simple and can be viewed several different ways. The argument I’ve been seeing is Bates beat Hopkins who beat Carnegie, therefore Bates goes. The problem with this logic is that you forget Bates has…
#20 GAC def. Kalamazoo 8-1 I didn’t preview this match because there was a lot going on, and I’ve kinda adopted a policy of not previewing matches unless both teams are ranked, but here’s a recap by popular demand. Kalamazoo didn’t have much of a chance to begin with. Whatever chance they had went out…
This was a phenomenal weekend of D3 tennis, and unfortunately, many of the great matchups will not get their due attention in this post. If anyone was there and would like to provide more detail to any of these recaps, leave a comment so we can all be aware of whatever Herculean feats of mental…
Williams vs. Middlebury should be well underway by now, so let’s get this last preview in before we can start talking about what actually happened instead of what might happen. #13 Carnegie Mellon vs. #16 Johns Hopkins This is probably Sunday’s marquee matchup. It has two great teams with a lot on the line: one…
The newest rankings came out today. Here are the latest rankings. There were some interesting choices by the regional committees, and I have to say that Franklin & Marshall shouldn’t actually be ranked. I also don’t think Cruz should have come out on the bottom end of the rock-paper-scissors match between them, Trinity (TX), and…
