ASouth ITA Mashup – Emory Dominates, Stories from UMW

So, I know I missed the Emory ITA preview.  First off, I know I keep calling it the Emory ITA preview even though it’s actually held at Sewanee, so shoutout to Sewanee for hosting this thing every year.  Y’all have some nice outside courts.  On a positive note, I didn’t miss the UMW ITA Preview…

The ASouth (Mary Wash) ITA Preview

Well, the blog team has come up big in my short absence from writing anything of worth these past two weeks after I gave a giant kickoff to start the season.  We still have plenty of things in the works and under construction, but that just means we’ll come back in the Spring with bigger…

The Greek’s Freshman 15 – Fifteen Freshmen to Watch This Season

The new season is upon us, which means a new set of upsets, nail-biters, and, most importantly, freshmen.

Weekend Recap: Roundtable Style
