LPRT Rankings March 10, 2014

The latest rankings from the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) are out and the top 5 players remain the same, led by Paola Longoria and Rhonda Rajsich at #1 and #2, respectively, with Maria Jose Vargas #3, Samantha Salas Solis #4 and Cristina Amaya #5.

However, Frédérique Lambert has moved up one spot to 6th ahead of Susana Acosta, who's now 7th. Sixth is a career high for Lambert, who made her 1st LPRT final last weekend at the New Jersey Open.

Rounding out the top 10 are Da'monique Davis 8th, Cheryl Gudinas 9th, and Veronica Sotomayor 10th.

Of note, Aubrey Kirch, who is 11th overall (a career best), is 8th in the season to date rankings, so she is the 2nd highest American in the season to date rankings behind Rajisch (2nd) and ahead of Davis (10th) and Gudinas (13th).

That could put Kirch in the driver's seat to be selected to play for Team USA at the International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Championships in Burlington, Ontario in June.

The next LPRT event is the Great Balls of Fire tournament in Miami, Florida, March 21-23.
