What’s up d3 tennis world. This past weekend, the tennis community migrated up to Walla Walla, WA, where #13 Whitman, #21 Redlands, #18 Texas-Tyler, and #23 UC Santa Cruz all met to play some dual matches! There were a number of questions that the critics had for these teams, such as how would Whitman respond…
Is there any better way to start off #IndoorsWeek than an overview on Tennis Recruiting?! D3Central graced us with his writing and gave us a team-by-team breakdown of what to expect this week in Mankato, MN. Remember, we will have continuing coverage this week with many more in-depth previews of Indoors as the week goes…
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…

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…
California Lutheran University Location: Thousand Oaks, CA Coach: Mike Gennette (20th season) Preseason Ranking: 20 Overview: I know you guys missed me, so I’m gonna use some of my precious, precious free time to preview the Kingsmen. After being defined by Ballou and (to a lesser extent) Giuffrida for the better part of a decade, year 1 AB…
If any of you have been following the writers on twitter today, something huge came out of the ITA convention of all things DIII tennis. While I was out galavanting through the streets of who knows where in a santa costume, crazy things went down in the DIII world. As of right now, Pool C…
