ASouthWomen’s Mid-Season Check Up, Part 2

OK D3 tennis fans, I took a snack break and a flight to Hawaii and I’m ready for more Atlantic South shenanigans. Since I’m writing this instead of laying on the beach, does this make me more dedicated than ASouth? I posted the first part on Wednesday, and the new rankings have come out since…

ASouthWomen’s Mid-Season Check Up, Part 1

If Bowdoin women’s tennis and Tufts men’s tennis can find the time to edit these amazing spring break videos, I can manage an article. Right? RIGHT? Despite my best efforts to procrastinate, I’ve finally circled back around to being productive (blogging is productive and you will not convince me otherwise). I know for some of…

2019 Early Season Hot Takes: 5 Pool C spots is sufficient

NewRegional’s HOT TAKE: 5 Pool C spots is sufficient NewRegional DEFENSE: An important lesson I’ve learned from AS since entering the blogosphere is that every team can come up with excuses about why their team didn’t win a close match, or why they should have been better. But, the best teams work harder, are better,…

2019 Early Season Hot Takes: UAA > NESCAC

D3AS’ HOT TAKE: The UAA is the best conference this year, that ever was, and ever will be. D3AS DEFENSE: Sure, it’s early, but the UAA now has 6 top 15 teams (on the Men’s side) and we’re in early March. It has long been assumed that the NESCAC is the better conference, but I…

2019 Early Season Hot Takes: Subway is just fine

D3NE’s HOT TAKE: Subway is a perfectly good food option when traveling with the team D3NE DEFENSE: I’m not calling it elite, I’m not out of my mind people, but I’ve been hearing for years that Subway is a terrible place to eat when traveling, when in reality it’s basically the same as Quiznos, Potbelly,…

2019 Women’s Indoor Preview: #1 CMS vs. #13 Wash U, #9 MIT vs. #10 UChicago

2019 Early Season Hot Takes: Indoors should be played at a neutral site

DIIIWest’s HOT TAKE: It’s unfair that at such a prestigious national tournament like the National ITA Indoors, Case Western repeatedly gets home court advantage. DIIIWest DEFENSE: Granted, it might be the nicest indoor facility DIII can take advantage of AND one of the few facilities that can house two seperate matches, 1-6 singles going on…
