4 years ago, when I first started working with the tennis teams and Coach Johnson, we took our men to Mary Washington and soon learned the level of where the program was. Since that time, we've improved, and this year Coach's recruiting efforts and coaching methods have really paid off on the men's side, as they went 27-2 this year at this tourney:

I assume Mary Washington participated in this? How many other D3 schools were in it or was it just Mary Washington?

Incorrect, it was mostly D-I schools: Richmond, George Mason, Liberty and Mary Washington, a Top-10 D-III school that has a history of beating Divsion I schools. So its 3 DI and 1 DIII

actually, the men were 22nd at the end of the season according to mary washington's website - they've only finished the season ranked in the top 10 twice.

Still, they're pretty good, they've beaten some D-I schools in the past and are consistently Top 25 in D-III

Siim Tuus from Estonia is pretty good, and Trist Stayt from New Zeland may also be worth watching.

Chad and Juan are good players, and so are Louis and Giancarlo, and Ben who transferred in from W&M. It could be a very good year for the men's team.
