LOGAN, Utah - Utah State men's tennis senior Jean-Baptiste Badon was named the Mountain West Player of the Week, the conference announced on Wednesday. Badon becomes the fourth Aggie to earn Player of the Week honors this season, joining sophomores Xavier Calvelo, Roman Venger and Eliot Nobel.

Badon went 4-0 across singles and doubles play to help Utah State to a pair of Mountain West wins at San Diego State (4-0) and against Grand Canyon (4-1) to clinch a share of the MW regular season title. Against the Aztecs, the senior from Los Angeles, California, played alongside sophomore Dmitri Goubin to post a 6-2 win at the second position to help the Aggies take the doubles point. In singles, Badon doubled USU's lead with a 7-6 (1), 6-4 victory at the first position en route to the sweep. In the title-clinching match against the Lopes, Badon again won in doubles alongside Goubin at the second position for 6-4 win, clinching the doubles point. Badon then won again at No. 1 singles, posting a 6-3, 6-2 win to restore USU's lead on the way to a 4-1 victory, clinching the team's fifth regular season conference title in program history, all of which have come in the Mountain West.
