LPRT 2014 New Jersey Open Round of 32

The Round of 32 is complete at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour's (LPRT's) New Jersey Open in Warren, N.J., and there were no upsets, which is somewhat surprising given what's happened in recent events where just about every round has had a significant upset.

But it's run true to form so far in Warren, which isn't to say that it's been easy for the higher seeds. Two matches went tie-breaker. Veronica Sotomayor need five games to fend off Jessica Parrilla, 9-11, 11-1, 11-6, 5-11, 11-8, and Sofia Rascon came back from 2-1 down to defeat Linda Scales, 11-4, 1-11, 8-11, 11-3, 11-4.

Also going to tie-breaker was the All-American battle of Aubrey Kirch and Michelle Key with Kirch coming out on top, 11-9, 2-11, 11-9, 10-12, 11-9, and Jennifer Saunders's victory over Sheryl Lotts, 5-11, 11-8, 11-3, 8-11, 11-6.

The top five seeds had byes in the 32s, but they'll be in action in the Round of 16, when LPRT #1 Paola Longoria will try to extend her winning streak against Carla Muñoz, who beat Hailey Miller in the 32s, 8-11, 11-1, 11-3, 11-8.

The New Jersey Open can be viewed live on line via the LPRT Network. The quarter final matches begin at 5 PM EST and run on the hour until 8 PM EST (start time).
