What a day of tennis, boys and girls. Two matches that seemed closer than their final scores, and their final scores seemed pretty close. In the day’s first quarterfinal, Wesleyan overcame an early deficit to defeat Tufts 5-3. Wesleyan was down 2-1 after doubles, took a commanding early lead in singles by winning five of the opening six…
It’s been a quiet year for the blog on the Women’s side, but we are determined to amp it up a notch as we head into the NCAA period with some coverage that I know some fans are thirsting for. D3NEW has been on top of her game with breaking down Pool C and the…
#4 Wesleyan vs #5 Tufts, Friday at 2 p.m. What’s at stake: As with any conference tournament, there will be a lot on the line in every single one of the matches played this weekend. Both Wesleyan and Tufts have one of, if not their best years in program history. I’m not sure either one…
Happy Thursday afternoon, boys and girls. It’s almost NESCACs, so it’s time for me to crank the coverage up to 11. Instead of doing just one NESCACs article, I wrote an NE post-season update earlier in the week, have this baby for you now, and will give a match-by-match previews throughout the entire tournament (including one…
I really liked the format that D3NE used for his NE Men’s Post-Season Update, so I’m going to copy his format and give you the NE Women’s Post-Season Update! I’ll go over each of the top 20 teams in the NE region (according to the 4/28/16 ITA rankings) and talk about NCAA Team, NCAA Doubles,…
Here we have, as D3NE would say it, the last Power Rankings of the regular season. Even though some conference championships are still going on, those are considered post-season. So, to all of you readers, it’s been a great regular season! We’ve come a damn long way from the first power rankings of the season…
NE POST-SEASON UPDATE Ok, boys and girls. It’s conference tournament time, so I’m here to give you a giant NE update. Very quick looks at every team in the top 20 of the region, and what needs to happen for them to make the promised land, otherwise known as NCAAs. Lots of teams to write…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: April 25th-May 1st Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to the final POTW of the regular season. Now, I don’t want to get too reflective on you here, as there is still the most important tennis of the season yet to be played, but I thought that this week’s…
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…
Welcome, boys and girls, to the final weekend of the regular season in the NE. This final weekend usually features matches with major NESCAC conference tournament and NCAA implications, but this weekend is actually somewhat devoid of drama, save for one match. The best rivalry in DIII will be rekindled on Saturday, when Amherst travels…
