PARC XXVII Pan Am Championships - Mexico & Argentina win women's doubles SFs

Mexico and Argentina will face off in the women's doubles final at the XXVII Pan American Racquetball Championships in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, after they won their respective semi-finals.

Mexicans Susana Acosta and Samantha Salas Solis - the #1 seeds - beat Canadians Frédérique Lambert and Josée Grand'Maître in two straight games, 15-13, 15-12, in one semi-final, and Maria Jose Vargas and Véronique Guillemette of Argentina defeated Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz of Ecuador, 6-15, 15-11, 11-9, in the other semi.

Both Acosta and Vargas are also in the women's singles final, so each has a a chance to win gold in singles and doubles at the Pan Am Championship in the same year. Only Paola Longoria (Mexico) has done that; she won both in 2012.

The final will be 1 PM EDT Saturday and will be live via the IRF Network.
