LPRT Battle of the Alamo underway in San Antonio

The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Battle of the Alamo is underway in San Antonio, Texas, and through two rounds the top seeds are all still alive, but there have been some upsets outside of the top five.

LPRT #1 Paola Longoria advanced to the quarter finals Friday with a win over fellow Mexican Alexandra Herrera, 11-4, 11-4, 11-8. In the quarters Longoria will face Aubrey Kirch who defeated Ximena Gonzalez in the Round of 16, 11-6, 5-11, 11-3, 11-2.

Gonzalez was a surprise winner in round one as she defeated 9th seed and tour veteran Adrienne Haynes, 11-6, 11-9, 11-5.

Lucia Gonzalez is a greater surprise in San Antonio, as she's got herself into the quarterfinals with wins over Sofia Rascon, 9-11, 14-12, 11-7, 11-5, and 7th seed Da'monique Davis, 11-9, 8-11, 11-9, 11-6.
