Just a quick Sunday night recap of some stuff that’s happened in the D3 Tennis world over the past few weeks. Let’s go: RPI Good news and bad news for this team so far. The good news? They beat both RIT and Rochester 9-0 to start the season. After losing to Rochester last year in…
OOF – This preview got away from me and became longer than I had anticipated. So, pardon me for the longform here, but I think that this will make for some nice morning commute reading or pleasant I’m at work but I’m not ready to work reading. I tried uploading this earlier with my…
In the Central Region, we are excited about the weeks to come as the ladies’ season has already begun. This past weekend was the first chance for several teams to knock the dust off their racquets and it was our first chance to see some of the freshmen and roster additions in action. Even though…
It’s been a minute since my last article on the Central Region 5s and I’m sorry that the 4s have had to wait so long (however, now the 1-4s know how the 5s and 6s feel waiting for them to finish their matches). Since I’m behind – and it sounds like people really miss the…

Whether your team is directly involved in this or not, I recommend giving this post a skim, as there are potential…

Assistant Coaches: Nick Crossley (ninth year) and Josh Heiden (sixth year).…
We’re deep into our hot take series now, and we have yet another blogger spewing some hate at the fall season. We only have a few more of these and then we’ll see just how many season previews we can wring from the lifeless hands of the bloggers during their offseason. In case you missed…
We’re definitely into true offseason mode now as the responses to the hot takes get thinner and thinner. Luckily resident boomer AVZ is here and he majored in lightning rounds… AVZ TAKE/DEFENSE I am going to go with speed round because I have multiple takes. 1) Case Western is a top 10 team and will…
