All BYU Doubles Finalists - USTA/ITA regional!

The winner of the USTA/ITA regionals tournament automatically qualifies for the National Indoor Tennis Tournament held in New York City! Because it was an all BYU final we received permission to play the final at our home courts! Thomas Shubert & Spencer Smith played Evan Urbina & Patrick Kawka in the finals.

The team before the match!

Spencer & Thomas

We had a great crowd!

There was not a seat left and people were having to stand sit anywhere they could squish in!

It was great to have Cassidy, our team captain from last year, here to cheer on the boys!

It was a great match. Thomas & Spencer ended up winning 9-7!

Here are the finalists!

And the champions!

Next week Thomas & Spencer will go to New York City to compete in the National Indoors while Evan & Patrick will go to California to compete in the So. Cal Intercollegiates!

Racqueteer Day!

We had a great turn out for our Annual Fall Racqueteer Day! The day started with the guys on the team pairing up with some of our fans and supporters for a round robin tennis tournament!

And some just came to watch!

Thomas & Harold Turley played in the finals against Glen Jaspering & Patrick!

Brad took over the chair umpire responsibilities!

Harold & Thomas came out victorious!

Which gives them the great honor of having their names added to the trophy!

After the tennis we went inside for brunch and to be introduced to the new team!

Here are the guys proudly showing off their MWC championship rings!
