NESCAC FINALS Happy Mother’s Day, girls and boys, and I hope you enjoyed that Wesleyan/Middlebury match as much as I did. I know the final score ended up 5-2, but the level of play was very high. I’m not going to get too sentimental about Wesleyan or Amherst here (all in good time), but I…
What a day of tennis, boys and girls. Two matches that seemed closer than their final scores, and their final scores seemed pretty close. In the day’s first quarterfinal, Wesleyan overcame an early deficit to defeat Tufts 5-3. Wesleyan was down 2-1 after doubles, took a commanding early lead in singles by winning five of the opening six…
#4 Wesleyan vs #5 Tufts, Friday at 2 p.m. What’s at stake: As with any conference tournament, there will be a lot on the line in every single one of the matches played this weekend. Both Wesleyan and Tufts have one of, if not their best years in program history. I’m not sure either one…
Happy Thursday afternoon, boys and girls. It’s almost NESCACs, so it’s time for me to crank the coverage up to 11. Instead of doing just one NESCACs article, I wrote an NE post-season update earlier in the week, have this baby for you now, and will give a match-by-match previews throughout the entire tournament (including one…
NE POST-SEASON UPDATE Ok, boys and girls. It’s conference tournament time, so I’m here to give you a giant NE update. Very quick looks at every team in the top 20 of the region, and what needs to happen for them to make the promised land, otherwise known as NCAAs. Lots of teams to write…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: April 25th-May 1st Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to the final POTW of the regular season. Now, I don’t want to get too reflective on you here, as there is still the most important tennis of the season yet to be played, but I thought that this week’s…
Welcome, boys and girls, to the final weekend of the regular season in the NE. This final weekend usually features matches with major NESCAC conference tournament and NCAA implications, but this weekend is actually somewhat devoid of drama, save for one match. The best rivalry in DIII will be rekindled on Saturday, when Amherst travels…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: April 18th – April 24th Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to the penultimate POTW of the regular season. With so many teams winding down and a few already earning their conference championships (Congrats to Mary Wash, NCW, Trinity Tx, and plenty more), Pool-C teams have fewer and fewer…
NE Weekend Preview: 4/23-4/24 Happy weekend, boys and girls, and welcome to what seems like the 178th consecutive important weekend for the NE. The UAA is down in sunny (and sometimes rainy) Florida, and apparently the NE wants to go as far away from there as possible. All the big NE matches this weekend take…
Happy Friday morning, boys and girls. Quick post from me today (when does that ever happen?) In a span of days that should be totally dominated by UAA coverage, I’m here to bring you a little light to help you through these dark times. Later on I’ll get to the Tufts vs Bates match happening…
