Staying unbeaten, junior Tyson Shelley won all five matches he played in this week. Shelley finished today’s matchup against Davis Ovard at 4 and 3 to help solidify the BYU win.

Kwon, who takes home a 4-1 record on the week, never trailed in his match against Drew Wrightson, who he beat 2 and 1. Senior Cole Ponich won his match 3 and 2 over Baylor’s Vincent Stjernfeldt. Peter Kim took down Zach Heffernan 2 up, while Angus Klintworth fell to Jonas Appel, 1 down.
