Power Rankings 4/13

It’s Hump Day folks.  That means Power Rankings, and that means debate.  I have to leave work in about 10 minutes so I am going to go microwave style for this introduction.  Lots of good stuff happened last weekend in the UAA and the NESCAC and some other nice results trickled in too.  Shoutout to…

A 2016 Phenomenon – Seniors Performance

@D3Northeast yeah, geez. A freshman just saved the match in a tiebreaker against a senior — D3West (@d3_west) March 13, 2016 Seniors. Seniors have long been well-respected on the blog.  Some would even say they’ve been over-respected. But, they are respected for good reason. When I look for Championship teams, I look for teams with…

4/6 Power Rankings

Like clockwork, Power Rankings are here and ON TIME this week! I, ASouth am not known for my punctuality, but I guess I am a lucky guy this week. Actually, that’s not true considering we are all waiting on an article from me that was supposed to be posted yesterday. But, you guys will get…

Regional Roundup – AS and NE Action (plus more)!

Really quick intro for this one because D3AS is counting on me to get this out by 1pm.  There were a bunch of great results last week, starting of course with CNU defeating Hopkins, but Brandeis, Swat, TCNJ, and even Cal Tech had action this week as well.  Let’s get these recaps going! The Week…

3/30 Power Rankings

And we’re back. Last time, I didn’t get these Power Rankings in at the appropriate time and people were all like “wtf, didn’t (insert team) beat (insert team) yesterday?” Only thing I have to say to that is, you try having a job and a blog to run. As I am sure you are all…

3/23 Power Rankings

Another day in the books, ladies and gentlemen. What a great day at the office. If you haven’t heard, there was an incredible match today between Williams and Pomona Pitzer that had massive implications for who is going to make the tournament later on this year.  If you weren’t following, Williams took the 5-4 win…

This Week In West: Midterms

Since three of my more prominent West region teams just completed their spring breaks, I feel like this is an opportune time to hand out some report cards. Cruz is in the midst of their spring break, and the California teams all seem like they’re on a perpetual spring break (tennis-wise), so I’ll give them…

2016 Power Rankings 3/16

With the ITA Rankings coming out today, we decided to hold Power Rankings until after, so we could compare what we really thought about those ITA Rankings.  Kidding, I just didn’t get around to this yesterday when I was making my NCAA Bracket (Go Kansas!) and decided to wait until now to post, as I…

The NE does Cali: Wednesday, March 16

#14 Whitman vs #7 Bowdoin: The Forgotten Children Happy Tuesday evening, boys and girls. Tonight, D3West and I have gotten together to throw a quick one match preview at you fine folks. We’re both a little tired of the match-by-match previews, which we know we’ll be doing more of soon, so we decided to do…

This Week In West: March 13-20

Wow, the Stag-Hen may have started off with a little bit of a fizzle, but it finished with a bang. The other writers are sure to chip in with their thoughts, but here are a few of my observations since the tournament included my three top teams and another one of my top 7: Emory…
