The new season is upon us, which means a new set of upsets, nail-biters, and, most importantly, freshmen. A few months ago, I wrote an article for the Tennis Recruiting Network (TRN) describing the impact of recruiting at the D-III level and how the caliber of recruits is at an all-time high. Today, I want…
Out of the eight NCAA regionals, Wash U‘s is the only one with just two nationally ranked teams. And, that’s not a bad thing…if you’re a UW-Whitewater fan. The Bears and the Warhawks should be very well rested for their probable Sweet 16 clash on Sunday. However, it’s important for me to write about every team…
I have some bad news – I was home sick today. Luckily, that means I had time to write a preview of one of my favorite NCAA regionals. I’ve made it pretty clear that I’m a fan of Gustavus Adolphus, but I also want to keep things real. After the NCAA draws were released, many…
After the results of the UAA tournament last weekend, the Pool C picture became murkier than before. To recap, the Chicago Maroons, who were on the outside looking in, defeated Case and Carnegie Mellon. Meanwhile, Wash U also upended the Tartans. Ultimately, Emory secured its spot in the tournament with an automatic bid while Wash…
D3TennisGreek: Friends, I try not to be full of myself, but I must say, D3Central and I have been on our “A” games recently. Last week, we previewed one of the most anticipated central region weekends of the season, and we’re back for more. Luckily, it’s not mainly just about the UAA this time around,…

D3ASouth and I stepped up to provide you season previews but haven’t blogged about women’s tennis since. However, this Friday and Saturday is the largest central tournament of the season — the…
While many of you were probably watching March Madness upset after upset this weekend, I was paying close attention to the D-III basketball Final Four and championship matches. In what was an epic clash of two teams from the Midwest (of course), the Tommies of St. Thomas took out the previously undefeated Benedictine Eagles. Anyway,…
Well, D3Central is taking care of his grandchildren this week, so I’m stepping up to provide you loyal readers with a preview of the big matches in the central region. Let’s get to it. #16 UW-Whitewater vs. #19 Gustavus Adolphus If there is one match to pay close attention to, it’s this one. The Warhawks…
It’s finally here! My final preview of the 2016 season. After writing several of these, I’m pretty excited for matches to start. Today, I’ll take a gander at a team that was a national powerhouse throughout the 2000s and is back on the map this season – Denison. Head Coach: Peter Burling (26th Season) Location: Granville, OH Preseason…
I’m a little disappointed in you. Yes, you. After writing two season previews, I’ve received a whopping zero comments or emails.
