Players of the Week: 3/28-4/3

NCAA MEN’S REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: March 28th – April 3rd Happy Monday, boys and girls. What an absolute whirlwind of a weekend. Upsets galore, and when the dust finally settled we were left with more uncertainty than when we started. This was by far the most compelling weekend of the season, and possibly…

Crazy Saturday Recap and Sunday Preview (#3 Bowdoin vs. #11 Wesleyan)

Well, boys and girls, that just about wraps up the CRAZIEST day in DIII Tennis that I’ve seen in a long time. I have no doubt that the Guru (our resident Historian) will write an article or throw some fun facts out on Twitter at some point. I want to leave the real history to the professionals,…

3/30 Power Rankings

And we’re back. Last time, I didn’t get these Power Rankings in at the appropriate time and people were all like “wtf, didn’t (insert team) beat (insert team) yesterday?” Only thing I have to say to that is, you try having a job and a blog to run. As I am sure you are all…

A cow and an elephant wander into the desert…

Happy Friday, boys and girls, and I hope it’s a particularly good Friday. CMS just clinched early over Chicago, and PP overcame yet another doubles deficit to take down Stevens, so we can now turn our heads to Saturday’s slate of matches. Although the ASouth has a couple intriguing matches tomorrow such as CNU at…

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…

NE STATE OF THE REGION (abbreviated?)

Hello again, boys and girls. It pained me to be away from The Blog over such a busy tennis weekend, but you don’t turn down March Madness tickets when given the chance! Last week was one of the biggest NE weeks of the season, and seeng as I missed out on some of the festivities…

Regional Players of the Week: 3/14-3/20

NCAA MEN’S REGIONAL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: 3/14-3/20 A fantastic week of tennis, starting with Wesleyan taking down Trinity Texas and ending with CMS beating Amherst but getting beaten badly by Bowdoin. A week that showed, perhaps more than anything else, the parity among the many teams who believe 2016 might be the year. As March…
