Ladies and Germs, welcome back to another year of snarky ITA West region Division III Men’s Tennis coverage brought to you by me. The NW ITA is this weekend, which means I’m once again forced to pretend that someone other than Zach Hewlin will be representing Whitman at the ITA Small College Nationals (if they…

I give the people what they want. While we are all gearing up for the Elite 8 Matches and sending out preview after preview, I wanted to take a look back at all the different things that happened in the NCAA Regional this past weekend. About 50 teams participated this weekend, so it would make…
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…
West region DIII men’s tennis fans, we’ve had ourselves a week.

CMS proved their mettle. Trinity wasn’t able to take advantage of…
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…
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.

Before I begin my article, just wanted to quickly plug our 2016 NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge!!!

All kidding aside, this is always extremely fun, and I…
