Since there wasn’t much going on this week, I didn’t really write, but we have a huge weekend in D3 tennis coming up with several important matches on each day. To save myself the trouble of writing one massive preview, I’m going to write a little one for each day going into the weekend. Let…
Amherst’s narrow escape against Bates was the story of the weekend, but there were a couple other results from the weekend that are worth mentioning, so I’ll start there. #3 Williams def. #23 Skidmore 7-2 This is just more of the same for both of these teams. The Thoroughbreds have shown that they can compete…
This week was definitely a little boring when it came to D3 tennis, so I got a little lazy. On Thursday, Mary Washington topped CNU 7-2 and MIT beat Brandeis 5-4. It looks like Mary Washington finally showed up for a big match. The Eagles are so hot and cold, especially in doubles, that it’s…
#24 Gustavus Adolphus def. #20 Whittier 5-4 Not much has happened in the last couple days, but I’m feeling a little obligated to post. From the write-up on the Whittier website, it sounds like this was one of the most dramatic matches of the year. Three three-setters, blown leads, saved match points, tiebreakers galore: I…
It’s a relatively light week for D3 tennis. There’s a calm between Spring Break and the storm of conference tournament time, but there are a couple great NESCAC and SCIAC matchups in the coming weeks, so we have that to get pumped about. Tuesday #26 Gustavus Adolphus vs. #20 Whittier Gustavus hasn’t really done much…
Atlantic South Will Duncan (Carnegie Mellon) This was pretty much a no-brainer, as Carnegie Mellon was the only team in the Atlantic South that played two significant matches this week, and Duncan was the only Tartan who went 4-0 in those matches. Duncan started off his weekend by teaming with Duke Miller to post an…
I’ve said that April 1st is the first day you can really make a meaningful bracketology. Everyone has played, the majority of teams have played a significant amount of matches, and several teams don’t have a lot of matches left on their schedules that would hurt or help their ranking. It’s Sunday night and I’m…
Denison def. #27 Kalamazoo 7-2 It looks like the Big Red won this match pretty comfortably. Doubles has been Kalamazoo’s Achilles heel this year, and against a team as good as Denison, they had basically no chance after falling down 3-0. Denison has looked solid to start the season, and this win will get them…
