Claremont-Mudd-Scripps is hoping homecourt advantage will lead to a pair of national titles, while UChicago is hoping to double up on back-to-back crowns.

The Division III Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships will resume on Monday at the the Biszantz Family Tennis Center at Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in Southern California. The men’s quarterfinals will begin Monday and the women’s quarterfinals will be Tuesday.

UChicago is the defending champion for both the men and women. The UChicago women, which have won 33 straight matches against Division III opponents, are ranked No. 1 and the UChicago men are ranked No. 4. The CMS men, which lost to UChicago in last year’s final, are ranked No. 1 and have won 30 straight matches.

The No. 14 Babson men have reached the quarterfinals for the first time in program history after upsetting No. 8 Bowdoin 4-3 in the Sweet 16. The victory snapped a 14-match losing streak against the Polar Bears dating back to 1997.

The No. 5 CMS women advanced to the quarterfinals for the 13th straight season, including 2018 when Biszantz last hosted the national championship and the Athenas won a national title at home.

CMS, UChicago, Emory, and Johns Hopkins will have both the men’s and women’s programs represented at the Elite Eight.
