Indoors

Wash U versus Trinity: My prediction for this match is a lot of pain for Trinity. They are just simply outmatched at every position and don't have the leaders that they had last year. Trinity's shot at getting a point on the board should be at both #1 and #3 doubles as they always bring it but the odds are still against them. In singles, Wash U is too deep at every spot, but if they decide to rest their 4,5,6 it is possible for Trinity to get on the board. This match should be quick and painless with a 9-0 for Wash U

Santa Cruz versus Kenyon: This should shape up to be the most interesting first round match of the tournament. After seeing their early results it appears that Pybas & Kamel have both been out of the lineups for Santa Cruz, while Brody has been out for Kenyon---I don't have any information on why this is the case but Pybas is no longer rostered on the team website. If these three players are out it will be a blow to both sides and significantly effect the match. That said, I expect Santa Cruz to go up 2-1 after doubles. In singles, I like Greenberg and Piskacek at 1,2 for sure. That leaves Kenyon up 3-2 with 3-6 left to play. Assuming all these players stay out I like Santa Cruz at 3,4 and Kenyon at 5,6. That would make Kenyon a winner at 5-4 but I think this match can go either way.
