2019 Power Rankings, Fall Edition

Lo and behold, I have finally come through and posted the Power Rankings. These rankings will now cue the ITA Rankings to be posted any day now, because they are probably waiting for us to post so they have an idea of where to put people. And also not rank MIT, which is the best…

THE SPICE IS RIGHT: Take 4 – D3AS

THE SPICE IS RIGHT: D3AtlanticSouth It’s getting cold outside, boys and girls, so how about a little spice to heat up your life? We’ve gathered the blogger roundtable for one final time in 2018 to do a little crystal ball gazing and fiery hot take…ing for you. Each blogger has given a hot take about…

THE SPICE IS RIGHT: Take 2 – NewCentral

D3RegionalNEC’s All-Inclusive Fall Wrap Up

I texted our Group Chat today that I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms now that there’s no more D3 tennis for a while (with the exception of BORIS and Ysabel Gonzalez-Rico at D1 Nationals next month). I don’t know what is sadder—the fact that there’s no more D3 tennis for a while, or that I’m this distraught…

2018 ITA Cup Preview/Predictions

The beauty of this tournament is that these are the best of the best and anybody can win. Please pick a player from your “region” and tell us why he can bring home the hardware. AS: Jonathan Jemison, because he’s either the best or second best player in the draw. He’s a senior, he has…

Which D3 lady will take home the ITA Cup?!

It’s October and fall tennis is well underway. Teams have played a couple of tournaments, maybe some dual matches, and are just giving us a sneak peak of what we’ll get come spring. This weekend, we’ll turn our focus to the ITA Cup, where the cream of the crop will duke it out in a…

Fast Times at Central High: ITA Progress Reports

I’ll limit my “tardy” article to a discussion of the nationally ranked central teams and give them progress reports based on a similarly ineffable rubric that created my upset percentages. But first, let us start with the champs and allow Mr. Hillis to reintroduce himself to the d3 tennis world, man Amherst is gonna miss this…

D3RegionalNEC’s Stream of Consciousness, ITA Style

Finally! What a week it’s been in the real life of D3RegionalNEC. Sorry for the delay in getting this out, but hopefully it was worth the wait. I feel like I’ve really been hyping this post up on Twitter, so it would be pretty bad if I can’t deliver. Luckily we’ve got some good stories…

Central Region ABCs

…and we’re back! With both of the Central ITAs looming, it seems like as good a time as any to drop my first article of the year. Unfortunately, the draws for neither ITA are available, so I’ll hold most of my ITA thoughts until those draws are made public. Instead, I’ve put together a list…

2018 “End” of Year Awards

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME, boys and girls! Before we can really move onto the 2018-2019 season it is only fair that we recognize the best of what was. Yes, we usually do the Blog Awards at the end of the spring season, but we busy, lazy, and ready for summer vacation. Oh…and some people didn’t bother…
