VESTAL, N.Y. – Binghamton men’s tennis finished its fall season at two events, with its top doubles team competing at the prestigious ITA Conference Masters Championship in San Diego and the rest of the team playing at the Navy Invite.

In San Diego, seniors William Morais Binnie and Ronin Lotlikar represented Binghamton and the NEC at the NCAA qualifier event, held at the Barnes Tennis Center. After an opening-round loss, the pair rattled off two straight wins to reach the consolation finals. Binnie and Lotlikar earned victories over pairs from South Carolina State and Fairfield before losing to opponents from Belmont in their final match. 

The remaining Bearcats played at the eight-team Navy Invitational at the Tose Family Tennis Center and the Fluegel-Moore Tennis Stadium.
