After writing two previews already this past week, the creative juices are flowing and I’m on a roll. I seriously have to pick up the slack for our dear friend D3Northeast, because he’s having issues with his previews. The man has two previews a week for the next few weeks, and he was complaining about…
Bates 2014-2015 Season Preview A whole host of issues stand in the way of Bates’ 2015 campaign, some old and some new. We all know the Bobcats play some top-notch doubles, but in recent years their issue was always the bottom of their lineup. I don’t think that will be the case this spring, as…
Bowdoin 2014-2015 Season Preview I thought I would be able to write this preview during the football game today, but the NFC game was too intense and the AFC game was too perfect. One time, for all you NE readers/Pats fans, ON TO SEATTLE!!!! I’m surprised I’m still focused enough to do this on a night…

Heading into the spring, Depauw faces some tough questions as…
Before I get into my Trinity preview, I wanted to take a second to talk about something important to me. You don’t have to read this first paragraph, but I’d be obliged if you do. Some of you know that I have always been a huge Stuart Scott fan. I thought about taking the time…
Whittier College Location: Whittier, CA Coach: Ben Belletto Preseason Ranking: 19 Intro: Since I refuse to let the older D3West show me up with his Cal Lu preview, I will bequeath upon the dedicated DIII Tennis readers another introspective and thoughtful provoking article by a most talented young writer. This time we have the…
Happy holidays DIII tennis faithful, and welcome to another rousing rendition of D3NE’s season previews. I know I’ve been slacking of late, but can you blame me? Yes? Well then, I blame myself. In case you haven’t picked up on this recently, none of the bloggers are too happy with the NCAA over the decrease…
