PROVO, UT – BYU's John Pearce, a sophomore on the men's tennis team, was named to the West Coast Conference 2015-16 Men's Tennis All-Academic Team on Thursday. 

Pearce, from Provo, Utah, boasts a conference-high 3.96 GPA as an economics major. He finished the season with a 12-8 singles record, playing mostly at the No. 4 slot, and posted a 14-6 doubles record to help the Cougars to a second place regular season WCC finish.
