Did anyone else spend their Valentine’s day weekend eating ice cream alone and watching the new Taylor Swift documentary? Asking for a friend. My incredibly active love life is definitely the explanation for the time between west region previews, and not me wanting a sneak peek at the NWC lineups before writing about them. Anyway,…
ONE MORE TIME. I am on my last season preview of the year and I could not be more excited. Way too many people finished their season previews before me, including my Atlantic South counterpart on the Women’s side. That’s quite embarrassing considering I only actually cover 5 teams and my job here is to…
We had some early season West region action this weekend with the Santa Cruz Quad, which turned into the San Francisco Trio after Chapman pulled out and rain forced the action into the City, and that got me into the mood for another preview! Before we get to that a quick recap on this weekend’s…
Two previews in two days? What happened to the real D3WW and how can I get her back? Today we’ll take a look at the pride of my region, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athenas, who returned the national championship trophy to where it belongs after almost two decades of Williams & Emory dominance. Bonus points to whomever…
Everyone knows that the east coast is 3 hours ahead of the west coast, so it only makes sense that your west region previews are 3 weeks behind everyone else, right? We haven’t had to deal with the polar vortex yet, but Seattle has started looting their Whole Foods so there’s no better time for…
What’s up tennis fans! After a long summer hiatus, your favorite women’s writers are back in action, and with an expanded squad! This season’s lineup features FOUR talented (and tennis obsessed) writers: returners ASW and Central (formerly known as NEW) are joined by newcomers West and new NEW (formerly known as Nameless)! To kickoff this…
Before we get started, a big thank you to the People’s Champ: ASouth for the assist on the Gustavus Season Preview. Which can be found on the blog here: http://www.division3tennis.com/2018-season-preview-16-gustavus-adolphus/. tl;dr: Chicago had an exceptional Fall and is considered by many to be leading the “next up” pack of national title contenders after: CMS, Emory,…
tl;dr: Wash U didn’t have the greatest Fall, but it doesn’t matter. They’ve made 11 straight NCAA quarterfinals, and look for number 12 this year with multiple individual qualifiers too. I think that Wash U will be favored in at least two doubles positions in every match, and will be one of the three UAA…
tl;dr: Kalamazoo has an exceedingly tough schedule that will give their one singles and doubles tons of chances to get within the top of the central region, but without an MIAA title in the stars Kalamazoo will have to pride itself on its regular season performance. Look for Kalamazoo to miss All-Time Great: Branden Metzler,…
tl;dr: Kenyon will be led by a rotating triumvirate of Paolucci, Zalenski, and Diehl who have set their eyes past an NCAC Championship towards a deep NCAA run. Denison and Oberlin are nipping at their heels, but the eleven time defending champions are the Lords of NCAC Land until otherwise noted. Let’s all take…
