LPRT - California Regionals - Rounds of 16

Maria Jose Vargas's good season on the Ladies Pro Racquetball Tour (LPRT) continued Friday, as she defeated 4th seed Cheryl Gudinas in the Round of 16 at the California Regionals tournament in Rededa, California, 11-5, 11-8, 9-11, 11-5, to advance to the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Fifth seed Adrienne Fisher will be Vargas's next opponent as Fisher ended Frédérique Lambert's run in Reseda, but she needed a tie-breaker to do it, winning 0-11, 11-7, 11-8, 4-11, 13-11. Fisher was outscored 48-39, but still managed to win the match.

Grace Hughes has also had a good season, and that continued Friday, as she came back from two games down to defeat Cristina Amaya, 9-11, 10-12, 15-13, 11-3, 11-4. Hughes will play LPRT #1 Paola Longoria, who was a straight game winner over Sheryl Lotts, 11-9, 11-7, 11-3, in the 16s.

Second seed Rhonda Rajsich beat former doubles partner Janel Tisinger in four games, 11-9, 2-11, 11-9, 11-7.

The quarter finals begin at 10 AM PDT Saturday morning, and you can watch them on-line via the LPRT network with the semi-finals to follow at 4 PM and 5 PM Saturday and the final at noon on Sunday.
