Lets get started! #1 Emory vs. #8 Gustavus Adolphus Again, glad to…
Obviously, Indoors is the biggest show in town this weekend, but there are some other important matches going on, which deserve some attention.

Trinity impresses, Tyler Topples GAC at Home GAC went into their Texas swing thinking of themselves as a top 15 team hoping to earn an upset over a depleted Trinity team. Instead, they got smoked by a rejuvinated Trinity team before getting upset by Tyler. The Tyler loss isn’t exactly a bad one. The Patriots, who…
From here on out, I will be writing a “Best of the Rest” column to cover the activity of the other regionally ranked tennis teams that never get any attention from this blog.
