2018 NESCAC SF Preview

Well we had one quarterfinal that was devoid of drama, and one quarterfinal that was overflowing with it. As expected, Middlebury took care of Bates without any issue, as the Panthers blanked the Bobcats. Like Midd, Wesleyan started off their match with a doubles sweep, but then things got hairy. Amherst had five first sets,…

The Big Kahuna: Pool C Update + Bracketology

After coming off an effort for the Perfect Week, things got away from me a bit. I was so drained from the effort that I was not able to get an article out on Tuesday, meaning that pushed back some Pool C and Bracketology. In an effort to make this up to the loyal readers,…

2018 Power Rankings, 5/2

Today’s theme for Power Rankings is quite obvious, and I figured I’d keep it light in what is a hectic week of May. I was just down in Orlando getting some BOBA Mimosas, which really hyped the group chat up this morning, so I’m feeling slightly sassy. I’m just keeping it fun out here. Here’s…

NE: Individuals Update (Singles)

Happy Wednesday, boys and girls! While you eagerly await our Wednesday Power Rankings, I thought I would take a quick look at the Individual rankings in the NE and give my best forecast for NCAAs. There doesn’t appear to be nearly as much drama this year as in years past, but there are at least…

NE Sunday Preview: Final Curtain

Happy Saturday, boys and girls. With the day’s matches finishing up, it’s time to look ahead to Sunday’s matchups and check out the scenarios. To demonstrate just how committed I am, I had even written a small blurb about Hamilton at Williams, but now that match has been “postponed.” Postponed to when? I have no…

NE Weekend Preview: The first day of the final weekend

Happy weekend, boys and girls! While most teams are already into their conference tournaments by now, it is the final weekend of the regular season for the NESCAC schools. Bates and MIT are currently battling on Friday evening, but the Bobcats should be locked into the 6th seed for next weekend’s postseason tournament-agogo, so no need…

2018 Power Rankings, 4/25

Another edition of Power Rankings is coming your way. I will say that this does not count for my Blog Perfect Week, which I will admit is struggling right now. But, I will get it done no matter what. With articles coming out later tonight and more planned for the rest of the week, I…

NESCACs Update/The Maine Event Preview

Happy Tuesday, boys and girls. It’s UAA Week here at The Blog, which means I have to work extra hard to keep up with enough Northeast coverage to mitigate the inevitable UAA=best chatter from some of our bloggers. That being said, you should really check out D3AS’ ridiculously dope preview (seriously, that’s what he calls…
