PROVO, Utah – BYU men’s tennis repeated what it did a year ago by defeating Weber State 6-1 to open its season.
“This was a great match against solid competition, providing an opportunity to build a strong foundation for the rest of the season,” head coach Zack Warren said. “I’m proud of how our boys competed in the home opener, and we’re excited for more opportunities to play in front of the best fans in the country. The team had been looking forward to and preparing for this day for a long time.”
Doubles Results
Adam Chodur/Otto Schreiner (BYU) def. Samuel Battistone/Ken Dinh (WSU) 6-2
TJ Wells/Caden Hasler (BYU) def. Toit Malan/Dawid Scholtz (WSU) 6-4
Alex Edmonston/Tygen Goldammer (BYU) def. Clement Lecoq/William Zulch (WSU) 6-3
The Cougars took control of the match early by sweeping all three doubles matches to earn the opening point. BYU relied on three familiar pairings that coach Warren used often throughout fall tournaments, as each duo played at least six matches together earlier this season, including Schreiner and Chodur, who competed in the NCAA tournament.
Hasler and Wells continued to build chemistry in their first year together after posting an 8-5 record through the fall, which carried into their 6-4 victory. Edmonston and Goldammer rounded out doubles play after building strong rapport in preparation for the 2026 season, highlighted by their Dar Walters tournament title last fall.

While the Cougars earned victories in five of the six singles matches, many of the contests were tightly contested, with three matches requiring a third set. One of the most competitive matchups came between Weber State’s Ken Dinh and BYU senior Adam Chodur, as the two traded momentum throughout before Dinh edged out a narrow three-set victory.
One of the more anticipated matchups featured blue-chip recruit Yubel Ubri, who made his NCAA debut and held off comeback efforts from Theo Mottier to earn a straight-sets victory. Ubri’s win secured the match for BYU as the Cougars’ fourth point of the day, following earlier straight-set wins from Duong and Goldammer.
With the match already secured, the Cougars closed the afternoon with back-to-back super tiebreaker wins, as TJ Wells and Hardy Owen each rebounded from second-set losses to finalize a 6-1 inaugural victory for the home fans.
