3/23 Power Rankings

Another day in the books, ladies and gentlemen. What a great day at the office. If you haven’t heard, there was an incredible match today between Williams and Pomona Pitzer that had massive implications for who is going to make the tournament later on this year.  If you weren’t following, Williams took the 5-4 win…

This Week In West: Midterms

Since three of my more prominent West region teams just completed their spring breaks, I feel like this is an opportune time to hand out some report cards. Cruz is in the midst of their spring break, and the California teams all seem like they’re on a perpetual spring break (tennis-wise), so I’ll give them…

2016 Pool C Update #1 – WTF

It’s been a long time, folks. I’ve been on a bit of a break with a ton of different things on my mind, but I have been staying hyper-aware of what is going on in the DIII landscape. In fact, we’ve got a Tennis Recruiting article that is being published during Signing Week, which will…

2016 Power Rankings 3/16

With the ITA Rankings coming out today, we decided to hold Power Rankings until after, so we could compare what we really thought about those ITA Rankings.  Kidding, I just didn’t get around to this yesterday when I was making my NCAA Bracket (Go Kansas!) and decided to wait until now to post, as I…

This Week In West: March 13-20

Wow, the Stag-Hen may have started off with a little bit of a fizzle, but it finished with a bang. The other writers are sure to chip in with their thoughts, but here are a few of my observations since the tournament included my three top teams and another one of my top 7: Emory…

2016 Power Rankings 3/9

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…

#16 Wesleyan Spring Break Preview

WESLEYAN SPRING BREAK PREVIEW Time for another edition of everybody’s favorite type of article, D3NE getting really excited about Wesleyan! Wes is #23 in the ITA’s rankings, and only 9th in the regional rankings due to a couple disappointing losses last spring. They currently sit 16th in our Power Rankings, but that will undoubtedly change…

Mary Washington Spring Break Recap

Well, I’ve been a bit MIA as I’ve been very busy at work as well as taking a trip this weekend to take some time for myself and I know I’ve missed some very good matches in the meantime.  Usually, the blog goes through Spring Break Previews and most of the bloggers are on point…

2016 Men’s Power Rankings 3/4

What a week it has been for me, as I have admittedly been MIA and not active on the blog.  Luckily, I have a team of writers who straight kill it week after week, so kudos to them.  They set up these power rankings and I actually just finished them, which I realize is 2…

This Week in West: Whitman/Swarthmore and Redlands/Mary Washington

If the last two “Spring Break Walla Walla”s were the first two Godfather movies, this year’s iteration is definitely Godfather III. It’s OK in that it still has live streaming and at least one good match, but it’s not one of the best movies of all time. I apologize for mixing metaphors, but with Cal…
