Aight, aight, aight. I know D3AS has got his national swag on, so Ima let him go ahead and do the small college nationals preview, but when it comes to the play-in matches, in the words of the late, great Colonel Sanders, “This is my dojo.” We’ve got Whitman and Trinity squaring off in both…
It’s been a while since the Northwest Conference has been competitive, but after this weekend, it seems like things are moving in the right direction for some of the lesser-known teams in the NWC. That might not be good news for our favorite Little Engine That Could, but it’s good news for just the general…
Well, the bulk of my intense investigative journalistic work is behind me, and all I have left to do is recap Trinity and Whitman’s respective bloodbaths. Since this is pretty simple, I’m gonna cut through the alphabetical malarkey and go straight to the teams that matter most. Trinity By all accounts, this was a stellar…
Alright, boys and girls, the regionals are (pretty much) over, and we’ve got just one more tournament to sustain us between now and the start of the Spring season, so I’ll try to give you something a little more substantial before we go into hemi-hybernation again. Below are the report cards for all the major…
Things always get steamy on the second day of ITAs. There’s always good tennis on the final day, but on the second day, teammates start squaring off, and there are just so many good matches that you can get whiplash (or, in my case, carpal tunnel) trying to keep up with them. As always, I’ll…
Singles This baby’s about to get started up again, so I’m gonna pump this thing out. We’ll start by checking in on the favorites, seeing how the Darkhorses are shaping up, and revisiting the intriguing first round matches. Follow that up with some general thoughts, and then touch on doubles. Now that I’ve introduced this…
Well, D3Northeast is doing some pretty serious work, so I thought I should at least write something for the last of the three regionals going on out west right now. Actually, I finally got the draw this morning, and that’s only because the UT-Tyler website posted it in the results. Chalk that one up to…
Welcome back tennis fans! It’s time for another year of me shamelessly boasting about my region before seeing all but one of our teams lose before the Elite Eight because…. NCAA. This year, the coaches of the west region conspired to have all three of their regions on the same weekend, so I can’t provide…
Like D3ASouth, I’m going to keep this short. I don’t know much about the non-regional teams, and I’m not going to waste my time making up predictions for players I don’t know. Unlike D3ASouth, I am going to complain about the bracket because it feels good. Region 1 Just so you know. This region is…
I’m not going to pretend the SCIAC tournament topped the UAA or NESCAC tournaments in terms of drama or quality of play, but we had a grand old time in this purple paradise this past weekend. A streak continued, a case was made, and the newly minted individual rankings were rendered completely inadequate. Let’s start…
