Sorry, but this post will not include the Case/Depauw match because it’s not over yet (at least, the scores aren’t available), and I won’t be able to post later (Saturday night!). In all honesty, that match is probably over by now. Case lost to Ferris State, and that just doesn’t sounds like a team that’s…
Weekend Preview #2 Saturday Washington & Lee @ #13 John’s Hopkins Washington & Lee beat Christopher Newport 5-4 over the weekend (in a match that went unnoticed by me), but that doesn’t mean that they’re ready to compete with the Blue Jays. Still, I’m interested in this match to see which of Hopkins’ 39 freshmen…
#12 NC-Wesleyan 5, #7 Kenyon 4 So much for that talk about Kenyon being a possible Final Four team. And so much for the talk about NC-Wesleyan sucking at doubles. I. Am. Always. Wrong.

Feb 12: NC Wesleyan @ Kenyon – An early season match where both teams have something to prove. There is a 4-team round robin happening in Gambier this weekend, but the two top teams there know this is the most important match. NCW is still looking for a signature win over a top 8 program in…
1. Amherst – They may not go undefeated in the regular season but it doesn’t matter. They are the best team and have shown they will raise their game in May. The Jeffs will win the national title if they play like they have the past three seasons. This team is loaded top to bottom and…
10. Can Williams do it again? The Ephs pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Final 8 history with their win against CMS, on the road, in last year’s quarterfinal. Williams returns their whole team for this year and the good news for them is they are out of the spotlight in the NESCAC this…
