We are back with another set of Power Rankings! Now, not much happened this past week in terms of matches, as we saw a lot of chalk performances such as Bates def. MIT, UWW over GAC, and Pomona over UMW. However, Redlands did pull the upset over the UMW Eagles and they are now benefiting…
NCAA MEN’S REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: February 29-March 6 Another week, another POTW. As more and more teams take their spring break trips over the coming weeks, look for plenty of coverage on The Blog. D3AS has scolded me for bringing politics into this week’s POTW, but it’s an important topic in our daily…

Coach: Jeff Northam, 89th season Location: Walla Walla, WA Preseason Rank: 17 Twitter Handle: @whitmantennis Overview: Whitman is another team in the West region that is undergoing an upheaval this season. After clambering in the dregs for several seasons, the Squirrels have established themselves as a perennial top 20 team starting in 2012. Nevertheless, they haven’t beaten a top…
Well, well, well. The team and 3 others got together for the Fantasy Draft I was telling you about earlier, and we absolutely killed it. It’s tough to get 10 working dudes in the same google doc at the same time to draft Division III Tennis players for hypothetical teams, but we did it. I…
