Trinity had a very good win over Williams today, showing that they are a legitimate top 8 team. The Redlands-Gustavus score is unavailable at the moment and I will post that as soon as the outcome is known. Another results to note is that Salisbury defeated previously undefeated Christoper Newport by a very convincing 7-2 score. This will definitely have an impact on the 18-24 range in the rankings. Rankings for today will be published as soon as the Redlands-Gustavus score comes in. Looking ahead to tomorrow, we have a huge Atlantic South matchup, as Hopkins tries to prove that they are a contender this year. Williams goes for the upset bid against #2 Wash U. The Bears have their first difficult D3 match since Indoors. Redlands is back on the courts against Middlebury, who had dissapointing losses against Santa Cruz and CMS. And lastly, they highlight of the day in my opinion is the CMS-Trinity match being played in Texas. The Stags look to continue their hot streak as does Trinity. I'm really looking forward to this match. It could have important implications for rankings. Going to be a great day tomorrow.
