Back again for part two of my midseason reports, this time focusing on the Northeast. I realize we’re well past mid-season at this point, especially for my teams, but with the weather finally beginning to improve a bit, it still feels like there’s a whole lot of tennis ahead of us. Anyway, just like part…
First things first, what a weekend we just had! Saturday afternoon on twitter was intense, following all the matches between my teams, most notably Wheaton vs Wabash and Vassar vs Rochester. I knew Wheaton and Wabash would be close, and as the match progressed it was clear it was going to come down…
I can’t remember an ITA quite like this year’s Northeast tournament. Often considered one of the weaker ITAs (a fair assessment), this tournament has recently gone one of three ways: Skidmore dominates, Heinrich dominates, or someone comes out of nowhere to make a run (anyone remember when Drew won the doubles a few years ago?).…
Did y’all miss us? Well, I hope you did, because we’ve got some great things in store for you this year. I promised some big things over the summer and those things will hopefully come to life as we move throughout the season. If you need an introduction again, we are The Blog, the only…
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,…
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…
What a crazy week in regional world! There were upsets galore in every region except the central this week, though I probably missed a result there and D3Central will yell at me after I post this. Of course, L&C took out Whitman and Deis took out Bates, but Swarthmore also had a historic weekend with…
The D3 tennis fans of the world will be focusing on Claremont this weekend for the annual Stag-Hen, and the blog is going to have you covered with plenty of coverage all weekend long. However, as the regional blogger solely responsible for not forgetting about the little guy, I am not forgetting about the little…

All right folks, the Northeast ITA begins in about twelve hours, so it is time for a preview. Better late than never, right? Last year was one big Heinrich maneuver, so I for one am curious to see if Heinrich can replicate his performance from last year, where he took both the singles and the…
