USAF ACADEMY, Colo. — The BYU men’s tennis team continued its fall season Sept. 26-27 with split squads competing at the Bedford Cup in the Mountains in Colorado and the Sherwood Invitational in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

At the Bedford Cup, hosted by the U.S. Air Force Academy, six Cougars competed. The highlight came from junior Otto Schreiner, who advanced to the final round of the singles draw. Schreiner swept all three of his matches but forfeited the championship due to BYU’s Sunday play policy.

In doubles, BYU won nine of 15 matches. 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.

Meanwhile, at the Sherwood Invitational, the Cougars competed in a round-robin format featuring both singles and doubles. BYU finished with a 5-4 record in singles play, led by Tygen Goldammer’s two victories, while the other three Cougars each earned one win. In doubles, BYU won three of five matches.

"We’re continuing to make strides and perform at a high level," Coach Zack Warren said. "We’re early in the process for the season and we’re getting solid results. I loved seeing Otto make his first collegiate final this past weekend in Colorado, and without dropping a set, it was really impressive. Now we’ll turn our attention to next week’s Southern California Intercollegiate event in San Diego and then follow that up with the Mountain Region Event in Las Vegas."

Up next, BYU will travel to San Diego, Calif., for the Southern California Intercollegiate Championships beginning Thursday, Oct. 9, before competing in the Mountain Region event in Las Vegas.
