Before we get started, a big thank you to the People’s Champ: ASouth for the assist on the Gustavus Season Preview. Which can be found on the blog here: http://www.division3tennis.com/2018-season-preview-16-gustavus-adolphus/. tl;dr: Chicago had an exceptional Fall and is considered by many to be leading the “next up” pack of national title contenders after: CMS, Emory,…
tl;dr: Wash U didn’t have the greatest Fall, but it doesn’t matter. They’ve made 11 straight NCAA quarterfinals, and look for number 12 this year with multiple individual qualifiers too. I think that Wash U will be favored in at least two doubles positions in every match, and will be one of the three UAA…
tl;dr: Kalamazoo has an exceedingly tough schedule that will give their one singles and doubles tons of chances to get within the top of the central region, but without an MIAA title in the stars Kalamazoo will have to pride itself on its regular season performance. Look for Kalamazoo to miss All-Time Great: Branden Metzler,…
It’s Season Preview Time ! tl;dr: Case will have a more successful year than last relying on the strength of the middle of their singles lineup, but will need to have other areas step up to get back into the NCAA conversation. On It. Double Flip. Starting off the central region will be the Spartans…
Wowza, sorry for the tardiness on this y’all – a combination of responsibilities and those ridiculously talented kids on Stranger Things really set me back.

EDIT: I, ASouth, realize that this post is mad late. I had been getting things done, and all of a sudden randomly hit a wall. Whether that be because of other things, not sure it matters. Apologies for getting this out so late and I hope you still enjoy. As the blog continues to…
tl;dr Gustavus showed that they may be the deepest singles teams in the region after U Chicago. M. Alhouni won his third ITA singles title. Alhouni and Whaling won the doubles title. Alhouni (GAC) def. Ekstein (GAC) 6-2, 6-0 Alhouni & Whaling (GAC) def. Anderson & Ackert (Coe) 6-4,6-4 Here’s a link to the…
Gustavus Adolphus College is hosting one of the two ITAs for the central region. It runs from Sept 29-Oct 2. Aside from the glory of winning one of the more outrageously sized tournaments in college tennis, the winners of the singles and doubles crowns claim All-America status and punch their tickets to Rome! (Rome, Georgia)…
All right fam, D3Regional here. This weekend is ITA weekend, and we at the blog would not be doing our “jobs” if we didn’t have previews of every single d3 ITA tournament throughout the country. Two of the less discussed but still compelling ITA tournaments are the Northwest ITA (long dominated by Whitman) and the…
