In the ITA Mountain Region, the Cougar women’s team finished ranked second in the 10-team region, while Mayci Jones concluded the year ranked 14th in singles play.  She advanced into the final eight of the region championships, going further then any BYU women’s player had advanced since 2009, when Kristina Doerr went all the way to the semis. Jones played at the No. 1 singles position and was named to the All-WCC Second Team.
