The University of Texas at Tyler Coach: Chris Bizot Location: Tyler, TX Preseason ranking: #20 power rankings, #18 ITA, #5 ITA west region Hello again D3 tennis fans! With the lack of truly compelling regional matches this past weekend (except for TCNJ’s 9-0 win over Vassar, holy moly), I have decided to pick up the…
Oh DIII tennis, why can’t I quit you!? I keep trying to pretend each article is my last, but it’s not even worth pretending anymore. Last year, Whitman hosted a major DIII tennis weekend for the first time since Coach Northam created DIII National Indoors, and it was a blast. Though CMS pretty much stole the…
Despite his ill-fated attempt at a weight gain pun in his title, D3AS has somehow convinced the fine folks over at TennisRecruiting.net to publish another article. The article delves into each region, looking into both men’s and women’s, breaking down the potential impact freshmen for the spring of 2015. This article is hopefully the second of many that we…
Alright stock market fans, I have decided to change things up a bit instead of doing a boring recap of the last two weeks of competition. Since the Central region seems to be the only one playing meaningful matches thus far in the season, I will include all matches up to this point. The theme…
Amherst 2015 Season Preview We are the champions, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, no time for other regions, because the NE has 3 of the last 4 championships, (buh buh) of DIII tennis. Just to get the ball rollin, check out the Patriots Super Bowl montages put together by The Hub http://boston.cbslocal.com/patriots-playoff-montages-from-98-5-the-sports-hub/. It’s been another great…
Alright D3 tennis fans, it is about to get into the thick of things with some exciting weekends of tennis like the one coming up in the Central region, Spring Break Walla Walla, and National Indoors. It is still very early in the season, but a lot of questions have been answered and even more…
Williams 2015 Season Preview We have come to a critical juncture in the history Williams Tennis. That obviously sounds dramatic, but let’s take a look at the Eph’s few seasons since Coach Greenberg took the helm: 2010=11th, 2011=4th, 2012=3rd, 2013=1st, 2014=10th. We knew there was going to be a regression after their National Championship win in…
Preseason Rank: #3 Location: San Antonio, TX Coach: Russell McMindes (6th Season) Introduction: Now it’s time to give the Texas region a little love and first up are the Trinity Tigers. I am pretty excited this year to see how the West region as a whole will represent itself in NCAA’s, as we will have…
UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs Coach: Christian DeJesus Nazario (maybe?) Location: Santa Cruz, CA Preseason ranking: #23 Wait….why am I (D3Central) writing about a West team? I am moonlighting as a West writer in an effort to get these previews done as soon as possible! Anyways, on to the preview. Cruz is probably one…
Apparently, we’re having trouble getting all the previews out, so The Headmaster has talked me out of retirement once more for this preview, making me the Roger Clemens of DIII tennis blogging. I haven’t exactly hid this fact from readers before, but Whitman is one of my favorite teams in the West. They’re like the Kenyon of…
