The men’s tennis team found themselves on the upswing this week, going 3-1 to move their record to just one win under .500. The Eagles’ recent surge is due in large part to the astounding play of junior No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles Philip Westwood. Westwood’s commanding week kicked of with a 6-0, 6-0 sweep in singles and a 8-0 victory in doubles against the University of the Southwest. Westwood turned around the next day and swiftly took down his singles opponent 6-1, 6-1 and his doubles opponent 8-3. Westwood spearheaded an Eagles sweep of Pacific Lutheran University where he picked up a 6-4, 6-2 victory in singles and an 8-3 win in doubles on March 28. With momentum on his side, Westwood faced off against the University of Hawaii at Hilo but hit a snag in the road, losing both matches in singles and doubles. Despite the rough end to the week, Westwood dominated at the Biola Tennis Center and proved his worthiness as this week’s winner of the Chimes’ Athlete of the Week.

About the Contributor
Kyle Kohner, Copy Editor & Office Manager
Amid his final year with the Chimes, Kyle is a four-year vet of the publication. Before this year, Kyle began his tenure like most at the Chimes—as a freelancer and an apprentice. He’s also held positions as the online editor and the A&E staff writer in the past. He also demands that you all go watch the movie “Hereditary.” Hello there! My name is Kyle Kohner, born and raised in San Bernardino, California. I am a senior journalism student at Biola University and a self-proclaimed film buff and music addict. A movie and music critic by trade, I am a firm believer that watching film and listening to music go hand-in-hand. Because the two mediums make the world go round and humanity sane, I see it is as my job and passion to discern the good from the bad within the differing yet kindred realms of entertainment. Aside from passion for the arts, it is probably worth noting that I am the Chimes’ office manager and copy editor. I, alongside Victoria try to make sure that the content produced by this publication are without flaws. If you see an article containing the wrong usage of “they’re” or “Its,” it’s probably my fault. Outside of the Chimes, I can be seen—you guessed it—listening to music and watching movies. But I also have a deep passion for street photography.
