BRUNSWICK, ME- A trio of Wheaton College women's tennis players competed at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Northeast Regional Tournament on Friday at Bowdoin College.

Wheaton junior Darby McDermott (Briarcliff Manor, NY/Hackley School) and sophomore Briana Jackson (Redding, CT/Joel Barlow) also lost in the first round on Friday. McDermott dropped a straight-set decision to Amherst College sophomore Monica Snyder (Newton, MA/BB&N), 6-2, 6-1, while Jackson lost against Vassar College junior Kelly Graham (Kennebunk, ME/Kennebunk), 6-1, 6-0.

In the 32-team doubles field, Weiss and McDermott dropped their first round match, 8-3. The Lyons fell to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) tandem of senior Elaine Ni (Okemos, MI/Okemos) and junior Joanna MacKay (North Andover, MA/Central Catholic).
