In the 16s:
- #1 Paola Longoria gave Ecuadorian former top 8 pro Vero Sotomayor little room to operate and moved on 5,5.
- #9 Rhonda Rajsich took out #8 Valeria Centellas at this juncture for the second straight weekend.
- #5 Angelica Barrios held serve against American #12 Kelani Lawrence.
- #4 Natalia Mendez Erlwein was pushed but held off an upset challenge from #13 Erika Manilla in a tiebreaker.
- #3 Alexandra Herrera blew out her fellow lefty Mexican rival Ana Laura Flores 2,8.
- #11 Carla Muñoz Montesinos got a well-earned upset over #6 Samantha Salas Solis 9,11
- #10 Brenda Laime Jalil got yet another upset of a top-8 player, this time vanquishing #7 Jessica Parrilla by the always-fun margin of an 11-10 tiebreaker.
- #2 Maria Jose Vargas Parada crushed LPRT veteran Adrienne Fisher Haynes to move into the quarters.

In the Quarters
- Longoria moved past her most frequent rival in Rajsich, 8,11.
- Barrios got a solid win over #4 Mendez to move into the semis.
- Herrera crushed Munoz 1,3 to get a statement win against the upstart Chilean
- Vargas similarly crushed Laime 2,3 to put down the budding challenge of the up and coming Colombina.
In the semis, a big upset.
- Longoria moved into the final with a straightforward 4,12 win over Barrios.
- Herrera got a career best win over Vargas, topping her for the first time in 9 tries on tour.
In the final, Herrera played some of her best ever racquetball, taking the first game off of the #1. Longoria blitzed the lefty in game two, and then the tie-breaker was a back and forth affair that looked like it could go either way. In the end, Paola got a quick lead and then ended the match on an avoidable, a bummer of an ending for a great match.

Doubles review
Match report in the PRS database: http://rball.pro/A67933
Two upsets in the quarters; one expected and one not. The underseeded team of Vargas/Sotomayor took out the #2 seeds Herrera/Munoz in a tie-breaker, while the pairing of Flores/Lawrence shocked the regularly teamed up Parrilla/Perez in a tie-breaker to earn a semis spot.
In the semis....#1 Longoria/Salas were pushed by the upstart Flores/Lawrence team but advanced in a breaker. #3 Mendez/Centellas took out Vargas/Sotomayor in two straight.
In the final, the #1 team won again, claiming their 35th pro doubles title together.
----------------
Women's Open, other draws
An odd Women's Open draw was robbed of any drama on the top side, as both top seeds Barrios and Centellas forfeited. This gave Lawrence a free shot into the final, having only to play one match against a local player who she vanquished 0,0.
On the bottom side, it was a different story, as four top LPRT players duked it out. Munoz got a solid win over Flores, and Sotomayor got a solid win over Manilla, and then Munoz took out the tiring Sotomayor in the semis 11-8 to earn a shot against Kelani in the final.
In that final, Lawrence got a very solid win over Munoz in a breaker.
-----------------
Men's Pro draw
A 13-player IRT pro draw featured a couple of traveling pros in @Maurice Miller and Rodrigo Rodriguez, who met in the final. There, the young lefty downed the veteran IRT touring pro 9,12 for the title.
