Lotts into quarterfinals at Ektelon LPRT Stockton Pro-Am

Two matches went the distance in the Round of 16 at the Ektelon Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Stockton Pro-Am in Stockton, California, and one result was an upset, as 10th seed Sheryl Lotts beat 7th seed Susana Acosta, 11-7, 12-10, 8-11, 2-11, 11-6, to reach the quarterfinals, where she'll play 2nd seed Maria Jose Vargas.

The other five game match happened in the 8/9 match, as 8th seed Sofia Rascon defeated 9th seed Michelle Key, 3-11, 11-8, 11-3, 7-11, 11-9. Rascon's reward for the victory is a date with LPRT #1 Paola Longoria, who's undefeated since May 2011.

Of note in the other matches, collegiate champion Devon Pimentelli had a game point on 3rd seed Rhonda Rajsich at 11-10 in the first game, but then only got one more point the rest of the match, as Rajsich came back to win game one 13-11, and then take games two and three, 11-1, 11-0, respectively.

After facing game point, Rajsich outscored Pimentelli 22-1.

Also there will be a rematch of last week's US Open quarterfinal, as 4th seed Frédérique Lambert will play 5th seed Cristina Amaya on Saturday. Lambert defeated Linda Tyler, 11-6, 11-4, 11-4, in the 16s and Amaya beat Adrienne Haynes, 11-7, 11-4, 11-9.

Matches can be viewed live via the LPRT Network. The quarterfinals will be Saturday morning with the semi-finals at 4 PM and 5 PM Saturday afternoon and the final at noon on Sunday.
