Weber State University’s men’s tennis enters the 2025 season with hopes of winning the Big Sky Conference, buoyed by a strong preseason performance in the fall. Last season, the Wildcats finished fourth in the Big Sky with a 5–3 conference record and a 10–13 overall record.
Considered one of the favorites to clinch the Big Sky title, Weber State will face stiff competition from Northern Arizona University, Montana State University and other strong contenders, making the division highly competitive. The Wildcats will kick off their conference campaign on the road against Brigham Young University on Jan. 17. Securing a win in this opening away match could set a positive tone for the season, addressing last year’s road struggles despite strong home performances. Following their games against BYU and Utah State University, Weber State will travel to Las Vegas for an invitational weekend.
Leadership this season comes from graduate student Jordan Coutinho, sophomore Tuan Minh, junior Connor Kruger, and senior transfer Liam Day.
“I think our team is in a good position after the fall, and we’ve really seen the potential to make a run this season,” junior William Zulch said. “We feel like we are favorites to win the Big Sky title, and going in with that mindset will lead to success. We are super excited and can’t wait to start competing.”
The Wildcats have demonstrated strong performances during the preseason, particularly in doubles. Kruger, Minh and Zulch will spearhead the doubles competition, with Kruger and Minh having qualified for the preseason NCAA tournament in doubles play following the ITA Regionals in Las Vegas. In singles, Coutinho and Day are expected to lead Weber State’s efforts.
