VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton women's tennis' Jessica McLean competed at the ITA Masters Championship in Rome, Ga., Thursday afternoon.

McLean faced off against No. 5 seeded Anastasiia Grechkina from Pepperdine University in the opening round of 32. McLean battled in a close first set but fell just short 7-5. Grechkina would go on to take the second set and match 6-1, moving McLean to the consolation bracket.

The freshman would go up against Tarleton State's Maria Castano, who defeated McLean in straight sets 6-0, 6-3 to move on to the next round, ending McLean's time at the event.

"I am proud of the way Jess competed and represented Binghamton," head coach Paul Caceres said. "It is a valuable experience being able to compete on a national stage against some of the best players in the country."
The Bearcats have concluded their fall season and will return in February for dual action in the spring.
