D3RegionalNEC’s One Shining Moment: The Week in Northeast and Central Action
The last few days the Blog group chat has gotten incredibly testy and I think it’s fair to say that tension between us is at an all time high. Watching this all go down has been kind of like watching your parents get in an argument—it’s very unsettling. So while we may be the second…
Friday Night Blurbs with D3RegionalNEC
Alright time for another no BS, hard hitting D3RegionalNEC Friday night special. We’re bouncing around to hit all of my teams in one way or another and update everyone on what’s happened since I last posted, so let’s get to it! Full Disclosure: I’m tired so I’m going to bed without proofreading this! Skidmore and…
D3RegionalNEC March Quick Hits
Sorry for the interruption in service lately, folks! There was a bit of a lull in the schedule and then things really started ramping up, so I’m here to catch up as best I can. I’ve got a lot to cover and not much time, so let’s jump right in. Growing up I ate many…
D3RegionalNEC Rapid Reaction: UPSET SPECIAL
I realize I still have to finish (well, first I have to start it) my Coe season preview, but in keeping with my new philosophy of “if you want me to write about your team, do something interesting,” tonight calls for some rapid reaction on the first big upset of the year, with unranked Rochester…
2019 Season Preview: Liberty League
Finally! It’s becoming one of my most eagerly anticipated articles of the winter, thanks to some rabid Blog fans, and I’m happy to finally get the people what they want. With nine teams, I tried to give everyone at least a little attention, but as I said at the beginning of this season—if you want…

2019 Season Preview: The Pool B Teams (TCNJ, UWW, UCSC)
I was going to start this article with a joke about a Lion, and Warhawk, and a Banana Slug, but I’m not funny enough to make it worth, so I’ll spare you. And so begins my preview of the three teams vying for the (I’m assuming) one spot into the NCAA tournament via Pool B.…
D3RegionalNEC’s All-Inclusive Fall Wrap Up
I texted our Group Chat today that I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms now that there’s no more D3 tennis for a while (with the exception of BORIS and Ysabel Gonzalez-Rico at D1 Nationals next month). I don’t know what is sadder—the fact that there’s no more D3 tennis for a while, or that I’m this distraught…
D3RegionalNEC’s Stream of Consciousness, ITA Style
Finally! What a week it’s been in the real life of D3RegionalNEC. Sorry for the delay in getting this out, but hopefully it was worth the wait. I feel like I’ve really been hyping this post up on Twitter, so it would be pretty bad if I can’t deliver. Luckily we’ve got some good stories…
