Happy Monday, boys and girls. It’s that time of year again, the time of year when Bates makes its westward pilgrimage during its strangely scheduled “spring” break. The NESCAC’s first day of practice for spring sports is February 15, and yesterday, just four days into its season, Bates played its first match against Westmont in California. Here…
Hello again all. I hope everyone had a great weekend and maybe even got in some outdoor tennis with all the warm weather. I wanted to do a quick write-up recapping a couple big 5-4 matches from the weekend, both of which I didn’t even realize were happening. I really need to get on my…
The excitement of last weekend’s Kalamazoo-Kenyon match was a great start to what should be a Central region full of tight matches this year, with a lot of teams appearing to be pretty even. This is great news for us fans of D3 tennis, and gives me plenty to write about. While the Northeast is…
Last year, the Garnet made the trek out to Walla Walla and ended up on the wrong end of a 7-2 drubbing. This year, Whitman is bringing half their team and two juicy indirect wins with them across three time zones to play Swat, CNU, and Haverford. After benefitting from perhaps the biggest home court advantage…
Division 3 tennis is in full swing, and it looks like the central region has played a bunch of matches. With that, I want to provide my thoughts on how the central region teams I cover have performed. As we always say, it’s a long season, so you can’t predict much from early season results, but…
Welcome, boys and girls, to my final season preview (you can’t see this, but I’m writing while surrounded by balloons and streamers). I left Wesleyan for last because for me they are one of the toughest teams to forecast, both for a lineup and their season prediction. This is a team that has been consistently…
Welcome, boys and girls, to the first Fantasy Draft Blogger Matchup. Just like last year, each team has been matched up with somebody else in the league, and we’ll be providing duel perspectives. Today you get a rematch of one of last year’s fantasy previews. I tell you this only because the artist formerly known as…
I know you don’t usually get grades over Spring Break, but let’s be honest, we all know none of these teams are actually on Spring Break, and we have only used this monicker to lightly poke fun at Walla Walla for being a potentially sub-optimal spring break destination. On to the grades. Here are the…
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, boys and girls! I’m dealing with my Pats anxiety by diving into The Blog. I strongly considered making this whole article prop bets-themed, but I think I’ll turn that into a separate article somewhere down the road. You know, something like, “over/under 1.5 NE teams in the final four”, or “over/under 20 times…
Location: Newport News, VA Coach: Eric Christiansen (5th Season) ITA National Ranking: 28 ITA Regional Ranking: 6 (Atlantic South) Blog Power Ranking: 31 Twitter Handle: @CNUTennis Happy Saturday to everyone! I would first like to say that Tom Brady is slightly over rated and Matt Ryan is going to the lead the Falcons to a Super Bowl tomorrow…
