Players of the Week: 03/19-03/25

REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 03/19-03/25 Happy Monday, boys and girls. We’re back with a new crop of POTW, and with it comes a new theme. There has been some intense debate in the Blogger group chat of late, and unsurprisingly it has nothing to do with DIII tennis. A picture says a thousand words,…

Power Rankings, 3/19

Power Rankings did not come out last week. This is my fault. I am making it up to you guys today, as we will have our Power Rankings early in the week. We will also have Power Rankings later in the week, so you can refresh after some more matches. What a time to be…

Power Rankings, 3/5

I will admit that this was supposed to go out last week, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be posting our Power Rankings early this week in order to soothe your concerns. Note that this should be taking into account most of the action that happened this past weekend, but given the timing there…

2018 Season Preview: George Fox Bruins

Overview George Fox came into last season with a team consisting only of freshmen and juniors, quite the combination. George Fox ultimately finished 4th in the NWC, making their conference tournament that only 4 teams qualify for, but fell to Whitman 9-0 in the first round due to four in-season losses to Pacific and Lewis…

Your Extensive West Region Fall Recap

Though the fall season is a relatively quick one for the players out West, I see it as one of the most grueling weekends of the year. There aren’t many times in the spring where you’ll play up to 10 matches (singles and doubles) in one weekend, so huge props to those who played an…

West Region ITA Rapid Reax

I’m feeling good because the Broncos just won, so I’m gonna pump out a quick rapid reaction from my favorite tennis weekend of the year. The ITA weekend was always my favorite for many reasons: it was the first significant competition for several months, and I was always jonesing; it was exciting to see how…

Northwest and Southwest ITA Previews

All right fam, D3Regional here. This weekend is ITA weekend, and we at the blog would not be doing our “jobs” if we didn’t have previews of every single d3 ITA tournament throughout the country. Two of the less discussed but still compelling ITA tournaments are the Northwest ITA (long dominated by Whitman) and the…

Six Pack Preview of New England / West Regional Questions

Blog fam! As the summer winds down, I start to question what I’m doing with my life when I get home from work and don’t need to think about writing an article. Then, as teams start to have their first practices and I see Brad Gilbert tweeting pictures with Connecticut College during the US Open,…
