Mobile, AL... The College of New Jersey's Jackie Shtemberg (Franklin Lakes, NJ/Ramapo) and Felice Trinh (Linden, NJ/Linden) saw their bid at claiming the institution's first ITA (Intercollegiate Tennis Association) National Small College Championships in doubles come up just short as the Lion duo fell in the finals on Friday.

Shtemberg and Trinh fell to second seeded and defending champion Julie Browne and Meghan McCooey of Tufts University by the score of 7-5 and 6-3.

The pair boasted the best doubles finish at the tournament in program history and they also claimed ITA All-American honors. Shtemberg and Trinh won eight straight matches heading into the final and capped their successful fall portion of the schedule with a 9-2 record.

The event was held at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Alabama.
