LPRT Wilson Tour for Hope - Longoria & Rajsich reach the final

After a day with several upsets there were none on Saturday at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Wilson Tour for Hope in Cincinnati, Ohio, so it will be LPRT #1 Paola Longoria versus LPRT #2 Rhonda Rajsich in the final once again.

Longoria is seeking her 20th women's pro tournament victory in a row. She's undefeated since May 2011. In the semi-finals, Longoria defeated 4th Maria Jose Vargas, 11-4, 11-2, 11-4.

Rajsich beat 11th seed Frédérique Lambert in the other semi, 11-8, 11-4, 11-9.

Longoria and Rajsich met in the final of last LPRT in Monterrey, Mexico, and Rajsich had leads in both games one and two, yet Longoria prevailed in three straight games. Rajsich will try to end Longoria's streak on Sunday.

Matches aren't available on the LPRT Network because of insufficient internet connection at the club.
