5/19 Power Rankings – NCAA Style

We’re a day late on this, mostly because my colleagues have working behind the scenes to get some Elite 8 Previews for you all and I have been working at a Regional Recap (that sounds weird) for all of those small teams out there.  Additionally, we’ve been trying to come together for our annual “Superlatives…

This Week In West: Season Recaps and a Tribute to Seniors

West region DIII men’s tennis fans, we’ve had ourselves a week. UT-Tyler went 6-0 in doubles over the weekend, scored the mini-upset over Whitman, and nearly made DIII tennis history by being the lowest ranked team ever to make it to the Elite Eight. CMS proved their mettle. Trinity wasn’t able to take advantage of…

This Week In West: The California Regional

As I mentioned in the POTW article, we played witness to a truly great match on Sunday that showed both CMS’ greatness and vulnerability. In the last month and a half, the Stags have gone down in doubles to P-P (twice), Redlands, Middlebury, and Williams. They may have won all of those matches, but they’re…

Power Rankings 5/11

Time for some postseason Power Rankings! Despite not a ton of matches happening in the past week but a LOT of hype from NCAAs, Power Rankings will always be posted on Wednesdays.  Anyways, there’s also something else that is very exciting going on for the blog and that would be NCAA BRACKET CHALLENGE.  If you…

Pool C Update #7 – Not Dead Yet

You know what it is. Another Pool C Update, which will make that #7 on the year. D3ASW will now make fun of me in the power rankings because he is the biggest fan of Pool C that I know. With today’s results, this will be a very abbreviated view in what to expect from…

5.6 Women’s Power Rankings

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…

5.4 Power Rankings

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…

This Week In West: The SCIAC Tournament

The SCIAC tournament has always been one of the best conference tournaments in the country. At times, the conference has had three or four teams in the top ten (much like the current UAA), and there are usually some major post-season implications in the final weekend before NCAA selections. One thing the SCIAC tournament has…

Players of the Week: 4/25-5/1

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…

Women’s Pool C Update

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…
