We’ve finally found a bit of a sweet spot for This Week in Highlights, with articles going out about every two weeks. Overall, we’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on it and a few submissions every week for it, which is exactly what we wanted! Eventually, I hope that more teams are open to sending us videos or at least posting them on twitter for us to find, as my friend and colleague D3Tree is so willing to find them.
Here is your daily PSA to go to the Recruiting Hub and check out what we’re doing, because it’s important. But also, check out the Pool C conversation as well as potentially another Bracketology from the Guru later on. It’s almost NCAA time and this thing is about to be turned up to max. As a break, let’s check out some highlights!
We’ll start pretty light, as Sewanee has clinched another SAA Title. The upstart Tigers will be headed to the NCAA Tournament with their highest ranking in years!

In a very tight match between Augustana and Carthage, we have here an epic comeback completed by a man named Connor Woolf, who added an extra “O” to his name for no reason whatsoever. Don’t call me the biggest fan of the strategy here, but hey, I love the comeback and the reaction. 2 for 3 is pretty good – just ask the Naked Man.
Sr. Connor Woolf comes back at No. 4 singles to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to clinch the 5-4 victory over Carthage. Vikings move to 12-9 (5-1). pic.twitter.com/e3tKrxsKBa

Moving onto the NESCAC, Tufts beat Bates a few days ago on the back of probably their best player, Zain Ali. Look at his flowing locks and undeniable swag.

Next up, we have the Rochester Yellow Jackets, who decided to let Coach Nielsen in on one of their practices. Look at that man go! Maybe they should slot him in at #2 singles or something.

Speaking of practice, look at the men from CMS grinding away on the practice court. Now that’s why they have such strong legs.

Let’s go waaaaaaaaaay back to the Middlebury Bowdoin match to watch Player of the Year candidate Kyle Schlanger clinch his match over who I believe to be Jerry Jiang!

Wilkes feels really good about this. Take a listen to the lungs on this man.
2nd doubles wins 9-7. Up 3-0 headed into singles. #WUT

Lastly, we have a nice youtube video from Colby against Middlebury at #1 Doubles. Let’s all watch some nice tennis points and get both Williams and CMU into the tournament.
And, there you have it. Let’s hope for some more highlights in the weeks to come! ASouth, OUT.

I saw a video of #OldManWootton on Instagram in the “explore” area, but I can’t seem to find it. Obviously any video of #OldManWootton ought to highlight any week, but in this one it looked like he hit a sick mini-tennis shot.
