Paola Longoria's winning streak continues as she won the Ladies Pro Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Wilson Tour for Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio on Sunday. Longoria defeated LPRT #2 Rhonda Rajsich in the final, 11-4, 11-3, 10-12, 11-5. Longoria is undefeated since May 2011.
Games one and two were all Longoria. In game one, she took leads of 6-0 and 9-1, before winning 11-4. In game two, it was 4-0 and 9-1 on the way to a 11-3 win.
But in game three Rajsich dug in and got the early lead herself at 6-1. She extended that to 8-2 before Longoria mounted a comeback. Longoria closed it to 8-7, only to see Rajsich score two and make it 10-7.
But despite three match point opportunities, Rajsich couldn't close it out, and Longoria tied the game at 10-10. However, Rajsich was able to get the next two points with the game winner coming on an avoidable call on Longoria, who made a shot that came right back to her with Rajsich set up for a winner.
However, that win only delayed the inevitable as Longoria won game five 11-5 to take the match and extend her winning streak.
The LPRT's next event is the Winter Classic in Overland Park, Kansas February 22-24.
