The Women’s Blog Retirement

Hi everyone —  ASW here. I’m just as surprised as you all regarding the retirement of the men’s blog (link here) but I would like to start by adding to the chorus of congratulations, good goodbyes, and thanks to everyone over on the men’s side. You don’t need me to tell you how amazing it…

The Blog Retirement Article

Well hello there! I don’t need to tell you that the Blog has been pretty much dormant for the past year-plus. There are more than a few reasons for that, and it’s not just Covid. Yes, the season being cancelled last year took a lot of wind out of everyone’s sails, and while there is…

Women’s Players of the Week: Indoors Edition

Howdy, y’all! Season is back in full swing and we on the women’s side are back to your regular programming, which means Player of the Week Wednesdays! This weekend really kicked off the meat of the spring season for us with Indoors, so this week, we’ve primarily focused on performances there. We are looking to…

2020 Women’s Indoors QF Preview: #4 CMU vs #5 Chicago

Can I let you all in on a secret? I have “academic time” this morning where I guess I’m supposed to sit in class and learn something (or something like that), but instead I slept in and am blogging. And I don’t feel even a little bit guilty. Let this be a message of hope…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: The Blog is dying

These are dark times there’s no denying. I feel like a broken record in the group chat just badgering people to fill out responses to things that barely even have to do with DIII tennis (see newCentral’s “Hot” Take). I don’t want to be that guy. Nobody wants me to be that guy. Let’s hope…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Rockin’ Round Robin

We’re deep into our hot take series now, and we have yet another blogger spewing some hate at the fall season. We only have a few more of these and then we’ll see just how many season previews we can wring from the lifeless hands of the bloggers during their offseason. In case you missed…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: AVZ Speed Round

We’re definitely into true offseason mode now as the responses to the hot takes get thinner and thinner. Luckily resident boomer AVZ is here and he majored in lightning rounds… AVZ TAKE/DEFENSE I am going to go with speed round because I have multiple takes. 1) Case Western is a top 10 team and will…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Home court advantage…

FINALLY. This is where I was hoping we’d land upon starting this series. Something tennis related, inherently a mix of fun and ridiculous, and leading down the rabbit hole of farfetched rule changes. Behold, my favorite hot take yet (sorry ASW)… NewRegional TAKE/DEFENSE: The home team should choose whether singles or doubles is played first.…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: Food inequality

Our next hot take comes from our newest writer, D3CentralWomens. Although, it’s not so much a hot take, as some sort of Title IX violation? If this is happening at your school, please reach out to any of us (I’m at D3Northeast@gmail.com or @D3Northeast) and let us know. D3CentralWomens TAKE/DEFENSE It’s just wrong that due…

2019 FALL “HOT” TAKES: JJ 4eva

We’re back for another week of blogger hot takes! Last week we heard a passionate defense, visited our critic’s corner, attempted to treat some seasonal disappointment, & finally launched a ship to end all ships. What do we have for you this week? Check back to find out, but we begin Week II of Pumpkin…
