What a day of tennis, boys and girls. Two matches that seemed closer than their final scores, and their final scores seemed pretty close. In the day’s first quarterfinal, Wesleyan overcame an early deficit to defeat Tufts 5-3. Wesleyan was down 2-1 after doubles, took a commanding early lead in singles by winning five of the opening six…
#4 Wesleyan vs #5 Tufts, Friday at 2 p.m. What’s at stake: As with any conference tournament, there will be a lot on the line in every single one of the matches played this weekend. Both Wesleyan and Tufts have one of, if not their best years in program history. I’m not sure either one…
Here we have, as D3NE would say it, the last Power Rankings of the regular season. Even though some conference championships are still going on, those are considered post-season. So, to all of you readers, it’s been a great regular season! We’ve come a damn long way from the first power rankings of the season…
NE POST-SEASON UPDATE Ok, boys and girls. It’s conference tournament time, so I’m here to give you a giant NE update. Very quick looks at every team in the top 20 of the region, and what needs to happen for them to make the promised land, otherwise known as NCAAs. Lots of teams to write…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: April 25th-May 1st Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to the final POTW of the regular season. Now, I don’t want to get too reflective on you here, as there is still the most important tennis of the season yet to be played, but I thought that this week’s…
Welcome, boys and girls, to the final weekend of the regular season in the NE. This final weekend usually features matches with major NESCAC conference tournament and NCAA implications, but this weekend is actually somewhat devoid of drama, save for one match. The best rivalry in DIII will be rekindled on Saturday, when Amherst travels…
Hello young, old, Pool C enthusiasts, and Pool A enthusiasts. Pool B enthusiasts, you’re not welcome here. Kidding. Here is another edition of our Power Rankings, which as you know happens every Wednesday. Much like previous Wednesdays, Emory is ranking at the top spot once again, despite… well despite nothing. That’s a lot of weeks…
It’s the question of the year at this point. Who should make the NCAA Tournament via Pool C? We have three teams vying for two spots, all with similar resumes, all with a lot of pride on the line. If you haven’t been following, please revisit the Pool C articles I’ve written to get your…
REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: April 18th – April 24th Happy Monday, boys and girls, and welcome to the penultimate POTW of the regular season. With so many teams winding down and a few already earning their conference championships (Congrats to Mary Wash, NCW, Trinity Tx, and plenty more), Pool-C teams have fewer and fewer…
NE Weekend Preview: 4/23-4/24 Happy weekend, boys and girls, and welcome to what seems like the 178th consecutive important weekend for the NE. The UAA is down in sunny (and sometimes rainy) Florida, and apparently the NE wants to go as far away from there as possible. All the big NE matches this weekend take…
