This Saturday will be the semis and finals of the NEWMAC tournament. The NEWMAC has been a conference long dominated by MIT basically as long as some of our writers have been alive. This year, with Babson losing their top 3 guys to graduation, MIT is probably as a big a favorite as they have…
With the regular season winding down, it’s time for the most unique event on the DIII tennis calendar: The Ojai. Here are the draws. You’ll notice that the following changes have been made: The singles draw has decreased from 64 to 32, and the doubles draw has decreased from 32 to 16. The draw is…
Quick intro this week or else I won’t even have this out by the start of the Southwestern/Trinity. I know everyone is all up in arms about the UAA Championships this weekend, as they should be (Jason’s Deli and UAA banquet photos for the win), but we have other tennis going on across the country.…

I’m gonna start by taking a dive into the mess of results that make up the individual qualifiers in both singles and doubles, and…
