#PoolCWeek – A Historical Look

It’s time for a history lesson!! As you see in the POTW article, mid-March is not only the time for March Madness (although the Madness is over for me) but also time for me to start writing crazy articles like Pool C and Bracketology.  I personally love both of those things especially because I only…

NE Midweek Update

Gather round children, and welcome to a rare NE Midweek Update in April. Now that Williams is finishing up their #SB15 (it’s about time to retire that hashtag), the NE will revert back to its somewhat boring normalcy of weekend matches. However, because there are two somewhat important NE matches later today, I figured I’d…

3/31 Power Rankings (M)

I’m tired of the old “Up on a Tuesday” cliche, so I’m just going to say this.  Power Rankings are now out, because it is a Tuesday. Fun fact: the bloggers were actually thinking about doing an April Fool’s Power Rankings for you guys, because for some reason D3West is obsessed with April Fools.  I…

NE Weekend Preview

Hello again, boys and girls, and welcome to my first NE weekend preview of the year. I’ve been so caught up in #SB15 over the past few weeks, that I’ve spent more time with Pomona’s twitter feed than my roommate. While there are still a few teams wrapping up their warm weather wanderings, most of the…

DIII Recruiting – Interviews with Coach Fried and Coach Swain

It’s been a while, but your favorite DIII tennis blog (and probably only) has another feature out on Tennis Recruiting! In conjunction with their “Signing Week Countdown,” we’ve interviewed two coaches – Coach Fried of Wesleyan and Coach Swain of Williams to get their takes on recruiting and DIII tennis in general.  By the way,…

Williams #SB15 Precap Part I

It’s gonna be tough to follow AS’s scoring format article, but I’m gonna try. Yet another top 15 team has left the NE has for sunny California skies, and though I’m not bringing the readers a coach’s perspective today (not so subtle hint about future articles) I do have my final Spring Break Precap for you.  Williams, not even…

Proposing a NEW Match Format – The “5+2” feat. Coach Settles

This past weekend, there were a couple of matches that featured the best team in the country in DIII and went way under the radar.  Now, the reason I’m talking to you about these matches is NOT because the best team in the country (CMS, by the way, if you have no idea what is…

Repetitive, right?  Anyways, we’ve had some good discussion on Rankings in general the past few times out and some more people are joining in on the party.  Thanks to all…
