2014 LPRT Torneo Fenapo - Semi-finals

Paola Longoria and Maria Jose Vargas will face off in the final of the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Torneo Fenapo 2014 Paola Longoria in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on Sunday night. Longoria will be going for her 32nd tournament win in a row, while Vargas is trying to win her first.

Longoria reached the final by defeated fourth seed Samantha Salas, 11-9, 11-9, 11-5, in the semi-finals. Salas played well, and had a 7-0 lead in game one, but could not close out the game as Longoria fought her way back into it.

In the other semi, Vargas beat second seed Rhonda Rajsich, 6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-3, to reach her second consecutive final. Vargas has been in the finals four of the last seven LPRT tournaments.

Longoria could be a double winner on Sunday, as she and Salas are in the doubles final as well after they defeated Susana Acosta and Jessica Parrilla, 15-12, 15-7, in the semi-finals on Saturday.

But their opponents won't be Rajsich and Vargas, who were the top seeds, as they were upset by 5th seeds Michelle Key and Frédérique Lambert, 10-15, 15-9, 11-2, in the other semi.

There been some technical issues with the live feed on the LPRT Network, but they will have both finals live on Sunday, but note the times: noon for the doubles and 8 PM for the singles.
