Please see another edition of our Division III Power Rankings. These power rankings have been delayed a bit, as we were all watching the Williams/PP matchup yesterday and tried to update the rankings accordingly. These rankings also do not have today’s UWW/Depauw matchup fully implemented into the rankings, but we wanted to get it to…
With the first regional rankings of the Spring season coming out this week, I think it’s time for the first “State of the Region Address” of the year. After last night’s result, it’s officially “The Year of the 5-4” in the West region. (Ready for some illuminati crap? 5+4+4 = 13, 5+4+5 = 14. It’s…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: MARCH 17TH-MARCH 23rd Here we are again with another set of regional players of the week. Let’s remember that the week ends on a Sunday (after all it is the Lord’s day), so only matches through March 23rd are taken into account. Also, as some of our readers have…
I’m going to devote more attention to the big SCIAC matches this weekend, but since I have a few moments right now, I thought I’d write a separate little ditty for a big West region matchup that has huge upset potential. People have sort of forgotten about the Slugs since they left SBWW, and that’s…
This will be the last time we hear about the Squirrels until the national tournament, so I’ll try to get as squirrelly as I can with this recap. It was a bit of an ambiguous Spring Break for Whitman, but it was definitely better than last year, and they have reason to be optimistic The…
10 Questions about Amherst@CMS (Friday 1pm) #2 @ #1. How could it get any better than that (based on our power rankings)? This matchup between two of the best teams in the country will certainly be one of the few tests CMS will get this season. In fact, if Amherst cannot push the Stags,…
And…….. here is another edition of our weekly Power Rankings! Not many changes this week as it looks like teams are officially beginning to settle in. Maybe there will be some fireworks this week with Amherst’s Spring Break and a few interesting matches over the weekend. We could definitely use a change-up. See the Power…
Spring break has come and gone for the Texas teams, and, after the next two days, we should have a firmly established hierarchy in the west region. Though we’ve had crazy matches so far, we haven’t had the sort of crazy results that give rankings committees headaches. Enough fluff, let’s get to the recaps. Trinity…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: MARCH 10TH-MARCH 17TH A-SOUTH Player: Kenny Zheng Team: CMU Results: 6-0 in Singles throughout the week Recap: Zheng was a revelation during CMU’s Spring Break, as he went undefeated at #5 singles against five top 20 teams, including the #1 team in the nation. Whether it was a two-setter,…
Before I get going with the preview, a quick insight. You ever notice how the isolated West region teams tend to only play each other? Trinity, Tyler, Whitman, and Santa Cruz have a total of 3 or 4 non-regional ranked matches this year. The reason for this is the respective coaches are doing their best…
