End of Season Awards – 2018-2019 (M)

Something said in the blog chat got me fired up again after a long and grueling summer. I won’t say what it is, but I realized that it is that time again to blog. While the years go on, I slowly find myself trying to find the motivation to pick up my lazy hands and…

2019 Blog Awards, Part 2

Another day, another USWNT win, and another Blog Awards article. If you missed part 1, make sure you check it out here. I don’t want to keep harping on the women’s national team (jk, I do), but the difference between their success – World Cup champs, Olympic Gold medalists – and the men’s side losing…

2019 Blog Awards, Part 1

I’m finally taking a break from watching the USWNT crush in the World Cup to put together an article. This Nike ad just got me way too hype, and now I wanna see the good ol’ USA bring home some hardware. Speaking of, the Blog pooled our collective tennis minds to highlight some fantastic performances…

Senior Series: Podcast with Superwoman Gabi Kitchell

Happy Taco Tuesday, ladies and gentleman! Today I am dropping the hottest of tracks. The one and only Gabi Kitchell agreed to chat with me about all things in her life – her massive tennis success, her pregame snack ritual, the way she played better without practicing, managing to finish college with her son Sebastian…

Competitiveness Series Part 6: Recruiting

We may have taken a hiatus from our series on competitiveness due to the craziness that was NCAAs and perhaps also due to my own procrastination. But I finally made it back with the next installment, in which I attempt to take a deeper look into recruiting. In the previous two articles, ASW gathered and…

Women in Coaching with Coach Erin Ness

Hello dear readers! In an effort to avoid packing for my cross country move on Friday, I’m turning to my productive-adjacent hobby, blogging! With the final ITA rankings out, the season has truly come to a close, but your women’s blogging team still has some content left in our arsenal. In honor of this unprecedented…

Final 2019 Power Rankings, Womens

Even though many of you are in the “haven’t picked up a racket in two weeks” and “mindlessly watching the French Open” phases of your summer, your friendly neighborhood bloggers keep coming together to dole out more content. Many of you probably never thought D3 tennis would warrant full-year news coverage, and I hope for…

FINAL 2019 POWER RANKINGS, MENS

Hi. I have awoken from my summer slumber to give you our final version of the 2019 Power Rankings. Maybe later this year we will do a “WAY TOO EARLY 2020 POWER RANKINGS” because the chodes on ESPN really like that kind of shit. But, that’s for later on, when I’m done traveling and living…

The Wesleyan Journey: A Victoria Yu story

Another year, another team, a first NATIONAL TITLE. As has become tradition (can something be called a tradition if this is just the second year it’s happening? Tbd, but bear with me) on the women’s side of the Blog, I’m here to detail the journey of the one, the only Victoria Yu. I didn’t set…

Women’s Class of 2019 Senior Tribute

The moment we’ve been waiting for is here! About 6 weeks ago, I attempted to send out a survey to all of the graduating women’s seniors of D3 asking for some basic information about their post-graduation plans. 69 seniors from 47 different D3 schools were kind enough to answer my call, and over the past…
