The BYU men’s tennis teams continued their fall season Sept. 26-27 with split squads competing at the Sherwood Invitational in Thousand Oaks, Calif. and the Bedford Cup in the Mountains at USAF Academy, Colo.
BYU tennis won the weekend with a combined 26-19 record across singles and doubles matches across the tournament.
At the Sherwood Invitational, the Cougars competed in a round-robin style tournament that featured both singles and doubles. BYU finished the tournament with a 5-4 record led by Tygen Goldammer’s two victories while the other three Cougars each won one. In doubles, BYU won three of five matches.
BYU men’s tennis coach Zack Warren highlighted Adam Chodur and his performance in Sherwood international where he picked up a big win against a high-level player for UCLA.
“He’s one of our leaders, he’s a senior and that just tells us we’re ready to compete against anybody in the country if he’s coming up with results like that,” Warren said.
Meanwhile, at the Bedford Cup that was hosted by U.S Air Force Academy, six Cougars competed. Otto Schreiner stole the show and advanced to the final round of the singles draw and swept all three of his matches but forfeited the championship due to BYU’s Sunday play policy.
“Otto had the best performance of his career and made it to the finals.” Warren said, mentioning that he did not drop a single set and no more than four games in a set.
For the other Cougars, BYU won nine of 15 matches in doubles. This included Schreiner and Brennon Chow went 3-1, TJ Wells and Caden Hasler finished 2-1, and Alex Edmonston and Hardy Owen claimed four wins in six matches.
Warren talked about the importance of being competitive in the Big 12 and how tough it is but the goal still is there to make a deep run within the conference and stay competitive.
Warren added that the focus that the team has right now as it progresses towards the regional championships in the next couple of weeks and coach Warren wants the team to continue to build towards that.
The regional tournaments are important for the BYU squads, as if they do well in the NCAA individual championships and make the finals of that tournament, they automatically qualify for the NCAA championships.
Up next, BYU will travel to San Diego, Calif., for the Southern California Intercollegiate Championships beginning Oct. 9, before competing in the Mountain Region event in Las Vegas.
