LOS ANGELES – BYU men’s tennis finished competing at the So Cal Intercollegiate on Saturday with some solid experience.

“What a great tournament, our guys got a ton of match play in and got some good wins,” BYU assistant coach Aidan Carrazedo said. “We got better as the week went on and I am proud of the fight and hunger in them.”

In the doubles main draw, BYU's Brocton Andrus and David Ball fell 8-4 to Bryce Pereira and Maximilian Wild of UCLA, ending their doubles play at the tournament.
