This Week in West: March 23 – Whenever

Friends, fans, and well-wishers, I want to apologize for providing what I would consider to be a sub-par blogging experience to my West region teams. As much as I love DIII tennis, sometimes life gets in the way. Alas, it is time for my fortnightly State Of The Region article. I will do a brief…

Regional Roundup – Week Ending 3/20

Good morning tennis world and happy Friday!  With another weekend comes another fantastic set of regional matches, and this weekend’s matches are honestly the best yet, as RPI and Pacific both head to southern Cal.  I have a lot to recap, and even more to preview, so I won’t waste precious space with a babbling…

3/17 Power Rankings (M)

Club was going up yesterday, so unfortunately Power Rankings will be going up on a Wednesday this week.  This may or may not have been a blessing in disguise, because we had two huge results last week that definitely affected the power rankings.  Actually, only one of them really did but there were two good…

Regional Roundup – Week Ending 3/12

Another regional week in the books! Now this past week wasn’t quite as crazy as those two matches on Wednesday were, with Pomona v. Bowdoin and Redlands v. Wesleyan. Regardless, I still love my regional teams, and therefore I am writing another very long article about everything that happened and everything that is going to happen.…

This Week In West: March 1 – March 8

As one commenter pointed out in the Power Rankings article, we bloggers need to get back to doing what we do best: butchering predictions and angering people with our analysis. Because the other writers are basically covering the West region matches by previewing and recapping Spring Breaks, the onus of responsibility falls on me to…

3/3 Men’s Power Rankings

Hello again, readers!  It was a light week on the Men’s side last week, but that does not mean we will not publish our always anticipated Weekly Power Rankings.  I’d like to give a shout-out to Brian Tan of Tufts because I want to stay relevant and cool.  On a more serious note, all those…

2/24 Men’s Power Rankings

One thing that Indoor Nationals brings that you probably forgot is the return of our weekly power rankings.  The five bloggers have come together to once again take all the latest results and give you some rankings that are probably more reliable than the ITA rankings (#sorrynotsorry).  We have a lot of big changes due…
