2018 Season Preview: North Coast Athletic Conference

This year I’ve really taken my gift-giving to the next level. I’ve been giving family things that they’ll love, but that I will also benefit from. For my brother, he’s getting a gift card to a steakhouse, which he will likely invite me to join him at. I got my dad a pair of tickets…

10 of D3RegionalNEC’s Random Thoughts from the Fall

Yo, long time no talk. Sorry, folks. Not a ton has really gone on though. To steal a favorite blogger inside joke, WHAT WOULD WE EVEN TALK ABOUT? The answer is probably not much, but that changes today. To finish out the fall season and wrap things up a bit, I’ve put together a listicle…

Small College Nationals: 10 fun/meaningless stats

Happy Wednesday, boys and girls, and welcome to the first of The Blog’s Small College Nationals (now called the ITA Oracle Cup) preview articles! We are hoping to have a prediction article out for you tonight, a roundtable article for you tomorrow morning, and perhaps even more if my fellow bloggers get their acts together.…

Kzoo ITA Preview: Chicago Frenzy

Well it seems I decided to come out of writing retirement to preview what is likely my favorite tournament of the year. Yes you can get excited for Indoors, Stag Hen, or nationals, but nothing like a 128 draw individual tournament that will separate the men from the boys. In the past couple of years,…

Welcome back! Central and Northeast Regional Kickoff!

Well, here we are. Another year of Division III tennis is upon us, my second as a blogger. Don’t expect any sophomore slump from me, though. Like the Blog as a whole, I’ve got big plans for this season, and am excited to get back to writing, tweeting, and reading all things D3 Tennis. First…

Power Rankings, 5/4

I’ve spent most of my morning listening to the podcast with AVZ and Coach Browning of Emory, which is why these Power Rankings are going out a little bit late. If you would like to listen to the podcast, which you should, feel free to click the link below. Power Rankings aren’t going anywhere. http://www.division3tennis.com/van-zees-vault-podcast-emorys-john-browning/…

4/27 Power Rankings

Another edition of Power Rankings are here, and this week we FINALLY had some movement in the Top 10! With a ton of upsets (check the ticker bruh!) this past week as well as the UAA Tournament completing, the top 10 got shuffled around a bit. We had a huge upset that we were able…

D3Midwest’s Central Region Singles Rankings

Well, well, well. I’ve come out of hiding to provide my thoughts on where things stand in the central region for NCAA singles qualification. While a lot happened, of course, in the UAA, there really wasn’t much action elsewhere in the central region. Anyway, I did my best to research all viable qualifiers thoroughly. Let’s…

Power Rankings, 4/21

I’m a bit upset about getting these out late, not only because I don’t like being late (actually I don’t really care) but the fact that I missed out on 4/20 Power Rankings jokes. We could have given a few teams that 420Boost, but alas, we are at a regular day now, so that means…
