A very big day today in D3 tennis, as the #1 team in the nation was beaten very easily and the one-time national powerhouse Kalamazoo got ripped by Emory and dropped from the top 25. UC Sants Cruz is now #1 after a dominant performance against Middlebury. Tomorrow, we will see if Gustavus can bounce back against a fiesty Redlands team. This is the perfect scenario for an upset, but I think Coach Wilkinson will have his guys ready. We then see Trinity play Williams, in a match that is important for rankings in the 7-10 spots. This match could have eventual implications involving a #1 regional seed in NCAAs. I will try to publish some match previews for the matches happening on March 28th. Great to see action on the comments boards, keep it coming.
